Software Engineer

Ambrook’s mission is to help family-run American businesses become more profitable and resilient.

Operators across American agriculture and industry face increasing pressure from record-breaking droughts, rising input costs, and unpredictable markets. The best long-term investments, like efficient irrigation and grazing rotations, support both the land and the bottom line. But even when the payoff is clear, these changes need upfront capital and financial clarity that's hard to come by.

Business owners work with fragmented records and outdated tools. They can't easily see what's working or prove viability to a lender, partner, or the next generation.

Ambrook is rebuilding the financial infrastructure that independent operators rely on.

We replace paperwork and legacy systems with modern tools for accounting, banking, invoicing and spending. Tools built for people who spend more time in the field than in the office. Our platform gives producers the financial clarity they need to make confident investments in their land, their operation, and their future.

Our customers are the backbone of the real economy. They are stewards of land, labor, and legacy. We're giving them the ability to invest in stronger, more durable businesses. When they do, they build generational resilience across America.

We started with farmers and ranchers across the country. Now we're expanding quickly to other American industries.

We're a Series A startup backed by top investors like Thrive Capital, Dylan Field, Homebrew, Designer Fund, and BoxGroup. We're looking for early team members who want to untangle the knotted intersection between American industry, climate, and the economy.
