Providing Indigo’s large-scale data foundation.

The Data Platform and Digital Agronomy team provides Indigo’s data foundation by building petabyte scale distributed systems in the cloud that help us ingest, manage, and query our data. We are responsible for the quality, content, and timely delivery of data sets to the data science, business intelligence, and product engineering teams. Our work is critical to ensuring that customers can easily access and trust the data behind Indigo’s products and recommendations.

We work in GraphQL, React, Typescript, Python 3, the Snowflake Data Warehouse, Postgres, and several AWS data technologies.

Creating a scalable marketplace to increase farmer profitability and crop traceability.

Indigo Marketplace is changing how food is produced and sold—in the U.S. now, and soon around the world. Our Marketplace flips the current model on its head by connecting growers directly with buyers and preserving crop identity. This means that growers get paid a premium for growing organic and similarly desirable crops.

Marketplace is written in TypeScript end-to-end – we’re big fans of static typing. The web app is built with React and uses Apollo to access Indigo’s GraphQL APIs running on Node.js.  The marketplace mobile app is written in React Native, also with TypeScript and Apollo. We adopted this stack from the beginning to provide a type-safe environment from the data layer through to the UI components that power our web and mobile experiences.

Building a platform to create choice and to optimize crop transportation logistics.

Indigo Transport is an ag logistics platform connecting a network of carriers to growers and shippers, efficiently moving grain after purchase on the marketplace. As the team building this software, our tasks range from modeling the logic for a truck workflow and designing interfaces against design mockups, to writing form validation logic supporting a network of tens of thousands of carriers.

We use React and Apollo/GraphQL on the front end, and we use NodeJS on the back end.

Building powerful Native Frameworks and apps that benefit people and the environment.

Mobile Engineering is a group of iOS, Android, and react-native engineers powering the apps that enable Indigo to take on agricultural challenges worldwide.

Swift and Kotlin, along with the various Android and iOS frameworks, enable the mobile engineers to improvise and deliver state of the art apps. By collaborating across products, from Digital Agronomy to Grain Marketplace to AgFinance, our work plays a direct role in the usability and success of all Indigo software products.

Implementing and productionizing complex algorithms at scale.

We engineer interfaces for Indigo’s data science applications and back end data solutions that support large scale predictive modeling. We are a highly efficient and cohesive engineering team that is focused on the customer’s needs and requirements. We primarily use GraphQL and Python and are built entirely on AWS.

Building scalable infrastructure and designing complex systems.

At Indigo, DevOps is a culture, one that all engineers embrace. Every member of the DevOps team is passionate about automation and strong engineering platforms. We are 100% in the cloud, use containers and up-to-date technologies, and strive for the best build and deploy experience that we can offer our developer counterparts and ourselves. We are everything but application development, which is all the fun stuff! At our core we are an enablement team, we like each other, teamwork, the cloud, new technologies, and ways of working. And we understand the importance of fostering an environment that makes work an enjoyable place to be. DevOps engineers at Indigo are peacekeepers, not gatekeepers

The Architecture team plays a key role in designing and implementing various functions, working cross-functionally to understand system interactions and integrations. Our mission is to align internal stakeholders and design scalable architectural solutions to complex problems.
