About BioTown

BioTown operates across beef livestock, meat processing, renewable energy, fertilizer application, and logistics. We build and maintain the internal systems that power these operations, from business applications and data workflows to infrastructure and industrial integrations.

We value practical builders who can connect code to real-world impact.

The Role

We’re looking for a junior-to-mid level developer who is primarily a coder but is also eager to grow into a well-rounded technical operator.

This role is roughly:

• 60–70% application development and coding
• 30–40% broader IT, systems, and technical problem-solving

You will work directly with our Systems Engineer to build internal tools, improve workflows, connect systems, and help maintain the technical backbone of our operations.

This is not a pure SCADA role. While you may occasionally interact with industrial systems, the core of the job is building software and solving practical technical problems across the business.

What You’ll Do

Application & Systems Development (Primary Focus)

• Build and modify internal tools using SQL and JavaScript
• Work inside low-code platforms such as Retool and Airtable
• Write backend logic and scripts in Python or Node.js
• Design clean, practical UI/UX for internal users
• Connect applications to APIs and external services
• Build dashboards, automations, and data workflows

Systems & IT Support (Secondary Focus)

• Assist with server and infrastructure tasks
• Troubleshoot integrations between systems
• Research and evaluate new technologies
• Help maintain databases and data integrity
• Support internal users with technical issues when needed
• Jump into new tools or platforms as projects evolve

You’ll be exposed to everything from database design and automation to networking basics and industrial connectivity. The expectation is not mastery on day one, but strong learning ability and ownership.

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

Must-Have

• 1–3 years of coding or internal tools experience
• Strong SQL fundamentals (joins, aggregations, filtering, performance basics)
• Working knowledge of JavaScript
• Solid understanding of APIs and how systems connect
• Comfortable learning new technologies quickly
• Willingness to occasionally work on-site in operational environments

Nice-to-Have (We Can Teach)

• Experience with low-code tools (Retool, Appsmith, PowerApps, etc.)
• Python scripting
• Basic server or networking familiarity
• Exposure to SCADA or industrial systems (Ignition, PLCs, OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT)
• React or modern frontend frameworks

Who You Are

• Very sharp and detail-oriented
• Fast learner who enjoys figuring things out
• Comfortable switching between coding and hands-on IT tasks
• Self-motivated and high ownership
• Curious about how systems actually work in the real world
• Not a senior engineer yet, but capable and highly trainable

This role is ideal for someone who wants to grow into a technical leader by getting broad exposure across software, infrastructure, and operational systems.

Tech Stack

SQL, JavaScript, Retool, Airtable, Firebase, Microsoft 365, Ignition, APIs, Python, React, PostgreSQL, networking basics, and more as we grow.

Benefits

Base Salary: varies based depending on experience and skills.

Benefits: Health insurance, PTO, hybrid role with 2–3 on-site days per week in Reynolds, IN., and training/development in SCADA and business systems, 401k match, farm provided yearly meat allotments. Benefits vary depending on employment level.

• Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
• Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
• Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
• Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
• Short Term & Long Term Disability
