IT & Security Infrastructure Lead

About the Company

Plant-level knowledge is vital to satisfying the food production needs from a projected forty percent increase in world population over the next thirty years. We support that goal by continuously and automatically assessing the health and performance of the world’s +$1T specialty crops, one plant at a time, with deep learning and imaging. Currently, Bloomfield is focused on grapes and blueberries. Our portable Flash cameras and supporting platform capture, geo-locate, and share the condition of each vine, tree, and bush, along with the various features of that plant. This information, in turn, informs a variety of daily decisions and actions that growers take to increase the size, quality, and consistency of yields without increasing the resources used to produce those yields.

About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on technical leader to build and scale the foundation of our IT, identity, and security systems. You'll be the first dedicated hire in this space and will own the lifecycle from bootstrapping foundational tooling to maturing our internal security posture and endpoint management.
