Cargill is committed to providing food and agricultural solutions to nourish the world in a safe, responsible, and sustainable way. Sitting at the heart of the supply chain, we partner with farmers and customers to source, make and deliver products that are vital for living.
Our 155,000 team members innovate with purpose, providing customers with life’s essentials so businesses can grow, communities prosper, and consumers live well.

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.
