About 99 Counties:

We are 99 Counties. We believe that regenerative agriculture holds the key to creating a healthier, happier and more sustainable planet. Our mission is to transform agriculture and people’s relationship with food by connecting regenerative farmers directly to consumers who care about feeding their families the most natural and nutrient dense food possible. We believe regenerative agriculture should focus on the five principles of soil health (minimize soil disruption, keep soil covered, plant diverse crop rotations, maintain a living root as often as possible, and integrate livestock). By empowering more farmers to adopt these practices we can help our farmers earn more money while also reducing their carbon footprint and reliance on inputs. We are backed by some of the top investors in Silicon Valley and Chicago who share our passion to improve the health of humans and the environment through good food.

 

About You:

99 Counties is looking for Frontend Engineers to build out the customer and farmer-facing experiences. This platform will support the complete online storefront and connect back to novel traceability tools and core supply chain forecasting. As a Frontend Engineer you’ll interface closely with Product and Farm Operations teams to ensure we're building the right tools to serve our farmers and customers.

 

We are a small and fast growing company where no two days are the same and opportunity for growth abounds. Within the Engineering team we believe strongly in promoting from within.

As we are also a very new company, there are no legacy codebases to inherit and we’ll have a great opportunity to set a course doing things “the right way.” This is a chance to create the kind of application you’ll actually want to work on

 

What You’ll Do:

  • Design, implement, test, and continuously improve the frontend application(s) for each side of our business.
  • Collaborate with Design and Product to ensure successful interactions and a consistent experience across all the ways customers engage with our company.
  • Collaborate with the Farm Ambassadors and Fulfillment Operations teams to ensure the tools work well for them to operate efficiently.
  • Be a kind and constructive team member.

 

Key Projects You'll Work On:

  • Customer storefront application
  • Farmer Onboarding and Traceability Management application
  • Internal tools to be used by Fulfillment Operations and Farm Ambassadors

 

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

  • Meaningful experience building with React, Vue, or a similar JS framework.
  • Meaningful experience building Ruby on Rails web applications (or similar framework and willingness to learn).
  • Meaningful experience building with a CSS framework (e.g. Bootstrap, Tailwind, or extension languages like Sass or Less).
  • Experience with Full Stack development with any of the above technologies. This is a Frontend position, but we are a new team and may each need to flex a bit to support each other.
  • Love farms and meat from real animals

 

Role Requirements:

  • Meaningful experience building Ruby on Rails web applications (or similar framework and willingness to learn).
  • Meaningful experience building with React or a similar JS framework.

You'll Love Working at 99 Counties Because:

    • We love good food. All of our employees will receive a monthly meat-box stipend so that you can enjoy and provide feedback on the food we create.
    • We care deeply about work-life balance. We encourage you to take time to recharge outside of the office. You'll have generous PTO to explore new places and recharge.
    • We're not just employees. We're people. We offer a healthy employer contribution towards your medical, dental, and vision benefits. We also offer a 401k so that you can save for your future.
    • You will have enormous career opportunities. We are building a transformational business. As one of our first hires you will have tremendous opportunity to grow professionally.
    • We offer competitive compensation packages. We deeply value the talent our team brings to the table, and believe that fair and equitable total compensation packages (including cash and equity) are part of our commitment to everyone who works here.
