About our company
Since we started out in 2011, we have been developing an automated process to determine the sex of a chick while still inside the egg. We aim to prevent the hatching and then culling of billions of male chicks worldwide just because they do not lay eggs. In 2020, we installed the first version of our Ella machine in a hatchery. Since then, we have developed the technology further, and a new, improved Ella began operating in 2022. It is our mission to end the culling of day-old male chicks with Ella.

Ella is just the first step, our initial ground breaking innovation. If it's up to us, there will be more. Much more. There are numerous problems in the fields of animal welfare and climate. Problems that scream for unconventional solutions. Precisely the kind of challenges we at In Ovo like to sink our teeth into.

Consider Eve, an IoT platform that helps hatcheries make animal welfare a competitive advantage. The idea for Eve arose when we realized that chicks are literally and figuratively born in a black box. What if, we thought, you could accurately monitor all the factors influencing the hatching process and convert them into usable insights? This would not only greatly improve the health and well-being of new born chicks, but also the efficiency and productivity of hatcheries. Eve is currently transitioning from development to deployment and will soon make a difference for millions of animals. For more information, visit our website.

At In Ovo, we combine analytical insight with a no-nonsense approach. We don’t get caught up in endless discussions. And we don't stare at the screen for hours on end. We look at the hatcheries from the inside. Because our solutions have to work for them if what we do is to succeed.

We also offer the following:

• A scale-up company setting that allows you to benefit from unique opportunities that have a global impact on animal welfare.

Interested but still in doubt?
If you find the position interesting but have a few doubts, that is completely understandable.

Candidates who think they do not fully meet all the requirements tend to refrain from applying for certain positions. Unfortunately, this is more prevalent among women and people from ethnic minority backgrounds. So, we welcome applicants even if they have some doubts. We look forward to discussing your qualities and perhaps offering you a suitable position with our organisation.

Please apply by sending your CV and a short application letter. If you would like more information, contact Ralph Roels, Recruitment Lead on +31 (0)6 14139696 or send an email to ralph@inovo.nl.
