Software Engineering Intern

The Culture

Ag Leader was born from a passion and determination to transform agriculture forever. In 1992, Ag Leader changed the industry by bringing real-time yield data to farmers’ fingertips. Today, more than 30 years later, Ag Leader has become a global team that provides year-round solutions to help farmers plan, plant, apply, and harvest more efficiently and profitably. We are improving the lives of farmers. We are increasing the efficiency of production agriculture around the world. And we aren’t slowing down. Ready to use your talent to implement change? Join our team of innovators revolutionizing agriculture.

The Opportunity

Join a cross-functional team of engineers building the software that helps farmers plant, apply, and harvest more efficiently — real products, used by real customers, not a side project.

The Software Engineering Team builds integrated solutions to enable farmers to automate their work, better understand and plan their operations, and improve the performance of their equipment. These teams create, iterate, and implement these innovative Ag Leader products from first concept to initial production sales orders. As a Software Engineering Intern, you'll work alongside experienced engineers who will mentor you as you contribute to embedded and Linux-based systems that ship. You'll have real ownership over your work, real feedback on it, and real support while you learn — this is a place to grow your skills, not just prove them.

The Right Person Will

• Contribute and thrive in a cross-functional team environment
• Commit to bringing their best every day
• Delight in problem solving no matter the problem
• Be flexible and willing to work in a variety of programming languages
• Give and receive constructive feedback to others

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with your team to design, build, and test solutions that solve real customer problems
• Lead the design, implementation, and testing of innovative software solutions that exceed customer needs
• Deliver high-quality, working code within each sprint and demonstrate product features to stakeholders and company-wide audiences
• Champion continuous improvement, agile practices, and change initiatives by identifying and resolving challenges using root cause analysis or similar methods
• Take part in retrospectives and code reviews as a two-way conversation — share your perspective and receive feedback that helps you grow
• Get hands-on experience across multiple programming languages and technologies as projects call for it

Qualifications/Skills

You don't need to check every box below — we're looking for strong potential and a willingness to learn as much as a finished skill set.

• Currently pursuing a degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related engineering discipline
• Some coursework or project experience in C++ (class projects, personal projects, or hackathons all count)
• Comfort working in a Linux environment, or eagerness to learn
• Curiosity, collaboration, and a willingness to ask questions and give/receive feedback

Nice to have, but not required:
