02 Volunteer Program
Johnny Autoseed runs on curiosity and community contribution. Volunteers help with field testing, documentation, research, outreach, and hands-on builds.
- What volunteers do: test systems in the field, write guides, collect plant data, run local workshops, help with photography and documentation.
- Time commitment: flexible, from a few hours per month to deeper project involvement depending on what you'd like to contribute.
- What you get: early access to systems and data, credit in publications, a direct line to the team, and the satisfaction of helping build open food automation.

Express volunteer interest →03 Careers
We hire project-by-project as the work demands it. There are no standing open roles right now, but we're always interested in people who want to build real things in food + robotics + software.
If you want to work with us, send a one-page pitch, not a traditional cover letter. Tell us what you'd build if you were on the team and why it matters. Attach a resume or portfolio if relevant.
Use the form above, select "Careers" as the topic, and include your pitch in the message.
