Data Scientist

About Us

At 4AG Robotics, we build robots that harvest mushrooms-and we’re growing fast. Our team thrives at the intersection of agriculture and automation, combining hands-on grit with cutting-edge technology. If you’re energized by solving real-world problems, owning your work, and using AI to do things better and faster, this is your kind of place.

The Opportunity

At 4AG Robotics, we build robots that harvest mushrooms, and we’re growing fast. Our systems generate a huge amount of performance and time-series data, and we’re looking for a Data Scientist to join our Software Team to help us make sense of it all. You’ll work closely with our cloud and on-prem data infrastructure to analyze trends and uncover insights that help improve robot performance in the field. If you love solving complex data problems, working with a high-ownership team, and want to have a direct impact on real-world automation, this is your kind of role.

What You’ll Do

• Analyze performance and operational data from our deployed robots to identify trends, issues, and improvement opportunities.
• Work directly within our C++/SQL-based stack to extract and analyze system data (this isn’t a dev-heavy role, but experience navigating code and databases is key).
• Collaborate with software developers, roboticists, and hardware engineers to translate insights into product and system improvements.
• Build tools, queries, and visualizations to support internal analysis and decision-making.
• Help maintain and optimize data access pipelines across both cloud and on-prem systems.
• Present findings in a way that’s digestible to cross-functional teams, from engineering to field operations.

What Success Looks Like

• You’ve uncovered data-driven insights that led to measurable improvements in robot reliability, efficiency, or uptime.
• You’re the go-to person for understanding performance patterns across our deployed fleet.
• Your tools and analysis are helping the Software Team (and beyond) make faster, smarter decisions.
• You’re proactively working with the team to identify new areas where data can drive product improvements.
• You’ve built confidence in the data, and how we use it.

What You Bring

• Solid experience working with large, complex datasets in a production environment.
• Strong proficiency with SQL and an understanding of how to navigate and interpret C++-based data systems.
• Experience with performance, time-series, or sensor data — especially in embedded or robotics systems.
• Comfort working with both on-prem and cloud storage systems.
• Strong communication skills — you can explain technical findings clearly and collaborate well across disciplines.
• Bonus points if you’ve built custom analytics tools or pipelines that others rely on.

Why This Role Matters

As part of our Software Team, you’ll be a key player in transforming raw system data into actionable insights. Your work will directly improve how our robots perform in the field — reducing downtime, increasing efficiency, and making life easier for our customers. This is your chance to work at the cutting edge of agtech, helping bring real change to a global industry through robotics and data.

What We Believe

At 4AG Robotics, we embrace the fast pace of start-up life. Innovation drives us, and staying open to new ideas keeps us moving forward. We encourage healthy debate but always commit to moving forward as a team. We work hard, support each other fully, and value agility over bureaucracy. And yes, the freezer is always stocked with ice cream!
