Come build the AI platform that engineers across Cargill will use every day—shipping low-code and pro-code AI agents that turn real problems into real outcomes. At Cargill, you’re not optimizing vanity metrics; you’re helping a global company that puts food on tables around the world deliver better, faster, safer decisions at massive scale. We’re looking for engineers with integrity (do the right thing when no one’s watching), hunger to learn (stay curious, test, iterate), and a builder mindset (prototype, harden, scale). You’ll do well here if you move work forward even with dependencies, communicate clearly, and ship value in increments—building strong relationships while finding practical paths around blockers.
