It was obvious that agricultural actors lacked both tools and information crucial to making the right business decisions. Along the journey building a basic information platform, Skira realized the enormous potential using modern information technology within the food industry.As of 2019, we’ve successfully deployed Sweden’s first independent digital grain trading platform, and only four months after beta launch we’ve already made grain transactions worth millions of SEK, using a method that no one said would be possible. By giving all our customers payment security and grain quality assurance, we’ve also managed to maintain 100% customer satisfaction. During 2019 we will continue to drive innovation in the green industry by growing our trading platform, as well as starting one of the biggest AI/ML-projects the Swedish agricultural business has ever seen.And we’ve only just begun. About engineering at SkiraSkira aims to develop and maintain pioneering systems that make it possible to easily put the farmer in focus; close collaboration with customers and an environment where “fail fast”-thinking is promoted.Our platform is built with K8s and Docker. We use modern cloud providers to bring full-scale CI/CD and to add intelligent high-level APIs (e.g. for data mining and ML). Our languages are mainly JavaScript (Node.js runtime for servers and React library for clients) and Python (data mining/ML), but we truly believe that the language of choice depends on the developer and the situation. We strive to have a culture where problems are attacked by starting with the question “how do we bring value, given the current situation?”.Our hypothesis is that a cloud-based microservices architecture will make our systems scalable and powerful in a way that makes it possible to pick whatever technology and/or language that serves the purpose of bringing better food to more people. ResponsibilitiesDesign, develop, test, deploy, maintain and improve software mainly in frontend, given necessary resources and with a high level of creative freedom.Maintain focus on customers when building beautiful and flexible frontend clients.Manage individual project priorities, deadlines and deliverables.Drive adoption of best practices in code health, testing, and maintainability.Analyze and decompose complex software systems and collaborate with and influence others to improve the overall design. FAQWhat core values do you have at Skira?We strive to have a culture where feedback is given och received with mutual understanding.
