About Ambrook
We started Ambrook (ambrook.com) with a mission to help farmers become more profitable and more sustainable. There is a virtuous cycle between profitability and sustainability in many American industries. In agriculture, better soil health, water conservation, and climate resilience often leads to lower costs, increased yields, and price premiums for crops or livestock in the market. To reduce the upfront cost and knowledge barriers to implementing practices like these, we are tackling an overlooked part of operations: back office paperwork and financials. There’s tremendous room for improvement on existing software and time-consuming paperwork shuffling in the back office. Over time, we’ve expanded beyond agriculture to drive financial understanding and sustainable practices in other resource-intensive industries: fisheries, forestry, water, energy, construction, and more.We’re a Series A startup backed by top investors (Thrive Capital, Homebrew, Designer Fund, BoxGroup, and more) and are looking for mission- and values-aligned individuals to join our remote hybrid founding team.Learn more about our mission and what it’s like to work with us.The opportunity Ambrook is building a world-class team. Joining a strong founding team of engineers, 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.
