Job Title: Data Engineer – Junior
Location: US (only accepting US citizens)
Status: Full Time
Reports to: Director, Technology
Salary range: $75-100k
Ancient Nutrition is rooted in our founders’ own personal health journeys and a desire to make history’s most powerful superfoods accessible to everyone. But what started as a mission to create high-quality supplements – ones informed by ancient wisdom, backed by modern science and that the world had never seen before – has grown into a steadfast commitment to transform the way we grow our food.
Because growing the world’s most nutrient-dense superfoods requires the healthiest soil possible and conventional farming is harming both the planet and its people. That’s why we’re on a much larger mission to restore our farmlands and heal our planet through organic regenerative farming practices that give back to the Earth – not just take from it– leaving it better than we found it for future generations to thrive.
