About Fresh Platter

Fresh Platter is a technology-driven fresh-produce supply-chain company, founded in Bengaluru in 2022. They engineer every step of the supply chain, from sourcing from farms to ripening, grading, packing, and delivering fresh produce. Technology and data are used to improve quality, ensure consistent supply, minimize wastage, and bring predictability to pricing. The company also builds its own machines and systems, with five patent applications filed. Their architecture consists of three layers: physical, sensing, and intelligence.

About the Role

A high-quality software engineering team is being built to own the sensing and intelligence layers, and the applications that run the business. You will join an existing team under the Tech Manager and are expected to raise its bar. The team builds with new generation of AI-assisted development tools.

Key Responsibilities

• Machines and Sensing:
• Develop software to configure and control machines, reading sensors, making decisions based on data, and sending instructions back.
• Manage the data path from sensor to screen, including collection, storage, monitoring, and alerts.
• Engage in prototype-to-production work with mechanical engineers, IISc, and partner teams, tested on real machines.
• Products and Applications:
• Build applications to manage the supply chain, including farm sourcing and procurement, ripening, grading and packing, inventory, logistics, quality, and farm-to-customer traceability.
• Develop dashboards and alerts for real-time problem visibility.
• Integrate with existing systems such as accounting, projects, mail, and messaging.
• AI-Driven Automation:
• Automate repetitive tasks in procurement, accounts, and operations, such as checking purchase orders and vendor bills, reconciliations, reporting, and follow-ups.
• Develop AI agents to read documents, emails, and system records, make decisions, and act on them with human approval where necessary.
• Engineering Practice:
• Own shipped code post-deployment, including monitoring, fixes, and improvements.
• Work across the stack: front end, back end, APIs, databases, device communication, and data pipelines.
• Write tests, review code, deploy safely, and document work.
• If experienced, help set team engineering standards and mentor junior engineers.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Solid programming fundamentals and problem-solving skills in at least one language.
• A working understanding of databases, web applications, and APIs.
• Ability to debug code you did not write.
• Fast learner, deep thinker, problem-solver, and adaptable to changing priorities.
• Humble enough to be trained from scratch, confident enough to question.
• AI-assisted development tools (familiarity is a plus, not required).

Qualifications

• B.E. or B.Tech in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics and Communication, Electronics and Telecommunication, Electrical and Electronics, or a closely related engineering stream.
• 0 to 4 years of experience. Freshers with a strong academic record and engineers who have shipped production software are welcome.
• Title and responsibility will match experience.
