Our Jobs of the Week column this week features an opportunity for a developer interested in working for one of the hottest tech companies in the region.

The Fredericton agriculture technology company Resson, which this year announced it had raised US$11 million (C$14 million) from Monsanto Growth Ventures and other investors, is looking for a Senior User Interface/Front End Developer.

Founded three years ago by Peter Goggin and Rishin Behl, Resson has created software to assess data from a range of sources on a farm. They developed a system called RAMAS, which collects data from such sources as tractors, sensors buried in the field, and aerial drones flying over the field. It brings all the information together and presents the farmer with a report on what is happening in his field and what actions need to be taken.

The Jobs of the Week column features openings posted on the Entrevestor Job Board, which focuses on jobs in technology, innovation and startups in Atlantic Canada. The Entrevestor Job Board helps match job openings and candidates in the tech and start-up communities and is operated by Entrevestor and Alongside (formerly Qimple).
