Full-Stack Developer, full-time

Are you a Full-Stack Developer with experience in Rust? Are you looking for a job in which you can contribute to a truly innovative system with real impact on future food production? We need your help and expertise to integrate our greenhouse automation systems and plant logistics. Together we build the fully synchronized food factory of the future.

As a Full-Stack Developer, you will be responsible for:

• Feature development: Own features from concept through implementation, including design, development, code review, automated tests, and deployment.
• Backend development: Design and implement server-side services and tooling in Rust.
• API design & development: Create and maintain well-documented REST/HTTP APIs using OpenAPI.
• CI/CD and automation: Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions for build, test, and deployment workflows.
• Infrastructure as code & operations: Manage infrastructure and deployments with containerization (Docker) and an Atomic Linux based deployment system; write, review, and diagnose IaC and operational runbooks.
• Frontend development: While not your primary responsibility, the role may also involve some UI work, helping build our UIs using TypeScript and Nuxt.
• Production troubleshooting: Monitor, debug, and diagnose issues in our live greenhouse environment to maintain a working system and healthy set of plants.

What will you bring to our team?

We are looking for a flexible team player and strong communicator who enjoys working in a multi-disciplinary team in a truly innovative environment where plants, hardware and software come together. You have a passion for technology and want to use your strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail to make robust technological solutions for a greenhouse environment. This isn't your run-of-the-mill web application; we're combining the latest in web technologies, industrial automation and AI. We need an engineer who loves to learn and with an eye for detail.

Your profile:

• You hold a Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science (or similar).
• You have at least 5 years working experience in backend development.
• You are proficient in Rust.
• You have experience in working with typescript (at least 2 years frontend development).

• Bonus points for any experience with OpenAPI or similar API-first development.
• Bonus points for any experience in cloud infrastructure-as-code (terraform or similar technologies).
• A driver’s license is required.
• Proficiency in English is required
• Proficiency in Dutch is a plus.

What can you expect as a Full-Stack Developer at SAIA?

• Excellent employment conditions, including 25 days paid vacation
• A competitive full-time salary (between € 4800,- and € 6400,- depending on your level of experience)
• Career opportunities within our growing company
• Be part of our international interdisciplinary team working on our innovative automated greenhouse (including experts in greenhouse cultivation, AI, robot design and more).
• Work with external machine builders and other parties to deploy our systems to customer locations
• An environment that facilitates and respects critical thinking, as well as open communication with all colleagues in the company.
• Work in our high-tech greenhouse, very centrally located right next to Ede-Wageningen train station.
• Highly skilled, motivated and ambitious colleagues who love robots, technology, plants and food!

At SAIA we do things differently. We aim to make high-tech growing accessible to anyone, anywhere. We built a disruptive automated greenhouse, the food factory of the future. Our robot does not need to hunt for harvestable produce in the greenhouse jungle. Instead, we are the first to mobilise our plants so that we can bring them to our robot for easy, reliable deleafing and harvesting. We are now bringing our automated greenhouse to our first customers and are looking for new team members to help us do so.

You will work closely with an interdisciplinary team of experts in the field of AI and greenhouse cultivation to create an integrated system. At SAIA, responsibility and ownership of your work are central. We are a relatively small team (20 people) working together on one big product, so working well together with people outside your specialisation is essential. We are looking for someone who looks beyond a single subsystem, someone who recognizes future bottlenecks and seeks knowledge and expertise outside Saia where necessary. Critical thinking is highly valued and respected, as is open communication with all colleagues in the company.

You work together with both juniors and experienced engineers in different formations. Our dynamic and close-knit team consists of highly skilled, motivated and ambitious people who love robots, technology, plants and food. We work efficiently with plenty of room for laughter, through the good times and the bad. Together we strive for a better world and healthy food for everyone.

Our state-of-the-art Automated Greenhouse is located in Ede on the World Food Centre ground, where we work on our plants, robots and machines.
