Web Developer

Job title: Web Developer

Job description: Today’s consumers care about where the food they eat comes from. Whether it’s from concerns over unethical practices such as rainforest destruction, exploitative labor or other unsustainable sources of production, the modern consumer is demanding visibility into the agricultural supply chain.

Grain Discovery is a cutting-edge technology startup based in King St W. Toronto and Picton, Ontario. We are aiming to revolutionize the agricultural industry through marketplace driven incentivization for better agricultural practices and increased supply-chain transparency enabled by blockchain technology.

By changing how the supply-chain shares data we aim to restore consumers’ trust in their food’s origination story – from farm to fork.

Our core product is an online marketplace for agricultural commodities (wheat, soy, corn, coffee) where traders can be assured of the crop’s origin and quality through a blockchain traceability network.

The founders, experts in agriculture and financial markets, have managed multi-billion-dollar portfolios in the space and were early supporters of blockchain and its applications in finance and traceability.

We have recently launched our online marketplace in Ontario and are now growing our dev team as we expand across Canada and the United States.

About You

As an early stage startup, we are looking for people who want more than to be an employee completing assigned tasks. We are looking for entrepreneurial people who are curious and ambitious with a passion to help grow a company from seed to exit! This is an opportunity to be involved in strategy and blue-sky thinking and as such will require both flexibility and creativity as the job evolves along side the company itself. The size of our addressable market is enormous, so the potential upside is considerable.
