Greg | Senior Software Engineers (Backend, Android, iOS, Web, Data Science) | Remote | Full-time
Greg (<a href=") is a plant app for people who find plant care mysterious and want their plants to thrive. Unlike wading through Google search results, Greg is personalized and makes growing healthy plants as easy as tying your shoes.
Our mission is to continue expanding our AI to eventually become the "Jarvis" of helping humans grow plants. Imagine if Mark Watney (from the Martian) had an AI guiding him on Mars :). We believe plants are at the heart of many of the existential challenges we face today, like food insecurity and collapsing ecosystems. Understanding/engineering our relation to plants will be key in the decades ahead. We're a Public Benefit Company with a legally-binding charter that we've published online: <a href=".
Before co-creating Greg I was a Director of Engineering at Tinder, where I founded the Growth and Trust &amp; Safety teams (<a href="). Our team is 7 people right now and we're hiring 10+.
We just closed our seed funding round (unannounced - top 5% amount, we're well-capitalized) and our job postings aren't online yet. We're looking for engineers passionate about ecology, protecting the planet. If you think what we're building is interesting, I'd love an email at alex (at) our website.
We also have a unique equity model, where each teammate owns a (virtually) equal share of the company. This is because we believe our team will be the primary reason we're able to achieve our long-term mission, and we need very strong individuals in every role. We also believe early-stage startup equity is mostly broken for non-founders and non-investors, and we believe it's possible to do better.
