Software Engineering Co-op

Title: Software Engineering Co-op Location: New York Ambrook helps American family-run businesses become more profitable and resilient. From volatile markets to climate shifts, independent operators face mounting pressure. While sustainable investments often yield the best long-term returns, they require financial clarity and capital that fragmented legacy systems can’t provide. We are rebuilding the financial infrastructure that real economy operators rely on. By replacing paperwork with modern tools for accounting, banking, and spending, Ambrook gives owners the data they need to prove viability to lenders and the next generation. We empower the stewards of land and labor to make confident investments in their future. We’re a Series B startup backed by Lachy Groom, Thrive Capital, Dylan Field, Thomson Reuters Ventures, Cameron Ventures, and leaders at Notion, Gusto, and Vercel. We’re looking for team members to help us untangle the intersection of American industry, climate, and the economy. The Opportunity This posting is for the spring co-op cycle, for at least 6 months from January through June 2027. As part of our engineering co-op program, you'll work as a valued member of our team building features that directly impact farmers across America. This is an exciting opportunity to gain real-world development experience while contributing to sustainable agriculture, with mentorship from experienced engineers who are invested in your growth. You'll also get real reps with modern AI dev tooling and with building AI products themselves. We've used AI dev tools since the earliest days of the company and stay close to the bleeding edge. Through Ambrook Labs, we're exploring AI-native features like natural language invoice drafting, voice-driven bookkeeping entry, and Desk, a task inbox that turns unstructured voice and text into organized workflows. We also speak regularly about the impact AI is having on us as people and developers, and balance marvel & enthusiasm about these tools with a respect for our craft. We’re looking for someone who we can count on to… - Own: Build and ship real product features that customers use, while helping improve our infrastructure alongside experienced engineers. - Learn: Gain experience in engineering best practices, agile development, and working across teams while discovering how agtech and climate solutions help farmers succeed. - Grow: Understand the basics of agricultural finance, farm operations, and sustainability practices through hands-on project work, including how real-world financial data actually looks and how AI can help make sense of it. - Contribute: Help identify ways to improve our development process and codebase while learning full-stack development.
