Job Description

The Strella Mission

More than 40% of all fresh produce is wasted in the US, which accounts for over 17 billion dollars in lost product annually and contributes more carbon dioxide emissions than all of US transportation combined. Globally, food that is never consumed accounts for 7% of the global freshwater supply and 308MM hectares of land. Our goal is to reduce these drastic numbers by making the produce supply chain smarter through data-driven decisions.

Strella uses proprietary sensors to predict shelf life in the food supply chain. We use this information to reduce food waste and help deliver better quality produce to consumers. We have been commercialized for 5 years and are currently in our growth stage.

Role

We are looking for an ambitious data scientist with 3+ years of experience to help us build the next generation of our modeling and prediction engine. The applicant must have a strong focus on delivering action-based results that can help customers make better decisions using data. Experience in agriculture is a plus. 

As a startup, we seek applicants who are self-starters and can wear multiple hats. We are in a rapid growth stage and are looking for people who thrive in a fast-paced environment while maintaining quality. This is an in-person role in either our Seattle or Wenatchee WA office.
