Software Development Engineer in Test

Our Backstory:

Founded in 2018, Smartwyre is a venture-financed SaaS business delivering enterprise software to large agricultural businesses, operating in a $400 billion global industry. With an estimated 5 million farmers and over 5,000 distributors globally, Smartwyre works across the agricultural supply chain, from large corporations to local farms. Presently, we work from the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, and South America.

We are building a B2B SaaS platform to network together the commercial operations of the companies who supply the world’s farmers with seeds, fertilizer, chemicals and services, with their target markets being the United States, Europe and Latin America.

Our aim is to first offer SaaS applications to solve key commercial pain points (pricing, costing, quoting), then network these companies using a common data platform (transactional data exchange, product information publication, people networking, and user analytics), and finally empower the network to facilitate new business model amongst network participants.
