Who We Are & Why ARL
At AgResearch Labs (ARL), we're building technology and infrastructure for cleaner, more climate-resilient food production. Over more than a decade of R&D;, ARL has developed indigenous aeroponics and farm-automation technologies that power Growize Farms, our commercial platform for building and operating high-performance farms at scale.
Recognised among India's Top 100 deep-tech startups by NASSCOM, ARL is now entering its next phase of growth — scaling our business, teams and operating systems.

What you will own:
You own everything from the device's connection to the cloud, through the database, and back out to alerts and notifications. Inside that boundary you are the decision-maker, not the executor of someone else's design:
Telemetry ingest. AWS IoT Core (MQTT) → Rules → SQS → Lambda → PostgreSQL. Built idempotent and replay-safe, and proven so under duplicate, delayed and out-of-order delivery — not assumed.
The operational data layer.



Aurora PostgreSQL: partitioning strategy, indexing, retention, rollups and the maintenance jobs that keep it healthy as farms multiply.
Imaging storage path. Bench camera imagery landing in S3 with sane layout and lifecycle tiering, laid out so batch ML inference can be added later without a migration.
Infrastructure as code. The whole platform in Terraform or CDK, with CI/CD, environment separation and repeatable deploys. Nothing important should exist only in the console.
Security and access. Least-privilege IAM, Cognito, encryption, audit logging, data residency in ap-south-1, and the technical controls for India's DPDP Act as its phases land.
Backups and disaster recovery. Cross-account backups, defined RTO/RPO targets, and scheduled restore drills. The deliverable is a proven restore, not a backup job that reports green.
Observability and self-healing. Alarms that mean something, automated remediatio
