Job Description

Vivid Machines is an innovative startup that helps fruit farmers produce more food and less waste with our proprietary sensor and computer vision system. We are extremely passionate about supporting growers with the tools they need, as we continue pursuing our dream of taking farming to new heights.

Our teammates never have to feel like they are cogs in a machine because they have the freedom to experiment with their ideas and own everything that they do. On this team, leadership doesn’t micromanage and smother inspiration – in fact, they nurture and promote it.

We value excellence, determination, curiosity, innovation, and most importantly, passion. We pride ourselves on being open-minded and decisive, with a keen ability to iterate quickly and deliver. We exist to help make farming easier and contribute to solving global food security. We are here to bring the future to fruit farming.

• What we do:

By leveraging advanced vision sensors and state-of-the-art machine learning, we provide fruit farmers with plant-specific insights, capturing previously unobserved and invisible features to improve yield and product quality.

You use cutting-edge technology to find novel solutions.

You can’t build out the future of fruit farming without getting your hands on the latest and greatest computer vision and AI technology. At Vivid Machines, you are embarking on a journey that will evolve an entire industry, and our drive to make this vision a reality is unstoppable. Vivid Machines began transforming AgTech in rural Ontario and is now expanding its reach to farmers in the US, Chile, and New Zealand.

Vivid Machines combines the speed of a scrappy startup with the level of knowledge you’d only find in a corporate C-Suite. Here, you are free to bring new and bold ideas to the table. You can experiment and iterate to perfection without having to worry about being bogged down by pending approvals, pointless meetings, or slow turnaround times. You are here because you are motivated, curious, and therefore trusted to help create a product that goes on to make agricultural history.
