The role encourages collaborative engineering practices rooted in Extreme Programming (XP) such as pair programming, making overlap with our UK-based engineers highly preferable (GMT+0 to GMT+2). We are a market-leading nature tech company on a mission to make nature measurable and actionable at scale. Our platform delivers vital insights on species, habitats, and nature-related risks, helping businesses across sectors - from mining and renewable to CGS and financial services - make smarter, more sustainable decisions.

As global leaders in biodiversity monitoring and eDNA analysis, we are transforming how nature is measured. Our technology makes biodiversity insights accessible, actionable, and scalable, powering change from conservation to industry. Recognised as Earthshot Prize Finalists 2024, BloombergNEF Pioneers 2024, World Economic Forum Technology Pioneers 2024, and part of the TechNation Future Fifty 2025, we are shaping the future of how organisations understand and protect nature.

We are looking for an experienced full-stack Product Engineer to join our collaboration-first product engineering team. You'll join a team of seasoned engineers delivering end-to-end features across the entire stack that powers our transformational biodiversity platform. You won't just be writing code; you will be solving user problems, shaping the roadmap, and taking features from an initial concept through to a live product.

What you'll do:

  • Design, build and scale geospatial systems.
  • Collaborate with domain experts across Engineering, Product, Data, Bioinformatics and Nature Strategy to translate complex requirements into seamless user experiences.
  • Help define and run experiments, practice rigorous iteration, and incrementally enhance our ability to build and evolve systems that store, compute and visualise geospatial and other nature-related datasets such as eDNA and bioacoustics.
  • Influence technical strategy and make decisions in ambiguity.
  • Drive foundational work across product and engineering, helping teammates navigate various data engineering challenges, guiding technology choice and adoption of best practices.
  • Produce well-tested, maintainable code across infrastructure, backend and frontend — using Go or Python on the back-end and React and TypeScript on the front-end.
  • Champion engineering fundamentals through code review, open discussion, and leading by example.
  • Help define what success looks like for the features you ship, setting the right targets, alerts, and thresholds to catch problems before customers do.
  • Participate in an on-call rotation to support issues as they arise.
  • Mentor other engineers as they build their skills and experience.

About you:

  • A love of nature and a mission-driven approach to the protection of biodiversity and natural systems.
  • Experience with scalable data processing and familiarity with the challenges of data-intensive systems.
  • Familiarity with geospatial concepts and comfortable discussing the differences between vector and raster data.
  • A strong sense of collaborative teamwork and the ability to act as a bridge between technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Technical fluency across the stack, from back-end data pipelines and APIs to intuitive, responsive front-end interfaces.
  • Comfortable supporting production software and investigating issues in deployed code.
  • An adaptive and curious mindset, proactively identifying opportunities for improvement.
  • A focus on customer value and willingness to iterate rapidly based on feedback and usage data.
  • Clear and open communication, demonstrating this in documentation and collaborative problem-solving.

Don't hesitate to apply despite only ticking some of these boxes. Our strength is in our diversity, and we look for individuals who bring something new to the team, whether it’s background, skill, or perspective. Though we are on the lookout for a Senior engineer, a pathway to Staff level exists for engineers who are willing and able to take on the responsibilities and expectations that come with it.

What's in it for you:

  • Get up every morning knowing that you’re working to stop climate change and biodiversity collapse.
  • Competitive Salary.
  • Flexible work arrangements.
  • Opportunities for professional growth in a high-scaling tech environment.
  • Benefits package including salary sacrifice pension scheme prioritising sustainability; life assurance; Enhanced annual leave; Cycle to Work Scheme; enhanced family friendly policy.
