At Aigen, our mission is to accelerate the transition to regenerative agriculture—with a pesticide-free, solar powered robotics platform.

52% of agricultural land is degraded by current management practices, and 60-75% of original soil carbon has been lost in lands used for agriculture (according to the IPCC). Join us to make a real world impact at the confluence of cutting edge robotic technology, agriculture, AI, and climate! With $19M raised to date, we are backed by a suite of investors including NEA, GFC, AgFunder, Regen.vc, and Bessemer Ventures.

The Role: As a Senior Product Manager at Aigen, you will own the Product Requirements Document (PRD), and be the voice of the customer in the the development of our advanced agriculture robotics platform. You'll work closely with teams of software, electrical and test engineers, and the operations staff, to understand their needs, create new solutions, and make sure these solutions work well everywhere. Your role is key in developing the technology for both our current and future robots. You'll have a big impact on improving our custom robotics platform. This job puts you at the heart of Aigen's mission to innovate in the field of agricultural robotics.

Aigen celebrates diversity in all its forms, and is an equal opportunity employer
