  • Issaquah, Washington
  • Full Time

TerraClear's mission is to free farmers from the worst jobs on the farm. Our path begins by automating the most hated job on the farm - rock picking. Rocks slow farming, damage equipment, and lead to downtime while seeding and harvesting. Solving this problem frees farmers to focus on higher-value tasks and bring their operations into a new era of farming.

Our team is a close group who believe in the power of collaboration and teamwork, the value of getting our hands dirty and learning from the farmers we serve. You will thrive at TerraClear with a positive attitude and enthusiasm.

TerraClear is a fast-paced, fast growing start-up disrupting the Ag industry with rock management solutions that solve this problem in a way not previously considered or available.
