Software Engineer

Ambrook

Ambrook helps American family-run businesses become more profitable and resilient. From volatile markets to climate shifts, independent operators face mounting pressure. While sustainable investments often yield the best long-term returns, they require financial clarity and capital that fragmented legacy systems can't provide.

We are rebuilding the financial infrastructure that independent operators rely on. By replacing paperwork with modern tools for accounting, banking, and spending, Ambrook gives owners the data they need to prove viability to lenders and the next generation. We empower the stewards of land and labor to make confident investments in their future.

We're a Series A startup backed by Thrive Capital, Dylan Field, and Homebrew. We're looking for early team members to help us untangle the intersection of American industry, climate, and the economy.

The Opportunity

Ambrook is building a world-class team. As a member of our engineering team, you'll help drive our technical decisions and influence our product direction for years to come, with the goal of making agriculture more sustainable and profitable.

We've been taking advantage of AI dev tooling since the beginning and we keep up with the bleeding edge. Engineers have the budget to try new tools and we optimize for portability, knowing that the state of the art is changing every day. We have plenty of opportunities to allow every engineer to ship much more while focusing on the really hard problems. We talk regularly about the impact that AI is having on us as people and balance marvel with a respect for our craft.
