You’ll Love Working At Square Roots Because

  • We’re here to change the food system. You’ll have the opportunity to play a significant role in our work at the intersection of technology, farming, and the global food industry – and we’re only just getting started.
  • Our team is driven by a shared set of values. These keep us aligned and remind us how to show up every day in the face of growth and ambiguity. Whether you’re in the office or on the farms, collaboration, respect, optimism and humility are all embraced, and we seek to empower people at every step. Ask us about the rest!
  • Benefits and perks, of course. We’re all here first and foremost to play our part in the mission, but paid time off, a fun work culture, and lots of samples of the delicious food we grow certainly do not hurt. :
