GreenTech Software Developer – JavaScript OR Ruby on Rails

Role:  GreenTech Software Developer – JavaScript OR Ruby on Rails

Location: Cambridge, flexible – quarterly office visits, maybe fully remote.

Salary:  Up to £44K (+12% pension, healthcare and more)

Biodiversity is taking a beating at the hands of human expansion.

There are lots of ways technology can be utilised to help, rather than hinder, nature and our environment to prevent mass extinctions and nature loss.

This organisation works with governments, institutes, companies, and orgs globally to build and implement solutions that improve outcomes.

From maintaining critical databases and expanding data services to delivering detailed insights and modelling. Or building tools for niche purposes, such as utilising remote sensors to track the growth of reforestation and using Geographic Information Systems to improve planning efficiency.

Governments are scrambling to understand how valuable biodiversity is and how it intersects with their economic plans, questioning whether a diverse forest is more commercially or socially valuable than an oil rig or palm oil plantation. How do you even measure that?

The aim [of the organisation] is to be more proactive in creating software and services that others can use and feed into to better deliver on their goals.

That means being more proactive in delivering software, websites, and mobile apps and coaching or supporting their somewhat junior team to avoid technical debt and reach go-live for various projects on time, enabling people to make the change that’s needed.

A lot of their projects have geospatial and mapping elements, so experience with GIS tools and PostgreSQL is handy. Their software is built with Ruby on Rails and JavaScript, VueJS and Nuxt specifically, so experience with one of those is a must. They also use Python, MySQL, GraphQL MapBox, Esri and GitHub, working in an Agile environment.

As a senior dev, you’ll have a small team of 2-6 people whom you support, depending on your preferences, coaching them and doing code reviews, pair programming and testing so they can see and learn from how you and others tackle problems.

You’ll get involved in some more complex tasks like discussions on architecture and tooling, estimations for projects, resource management, and assigning tasks within your team.

They’ll support you in your development, too. It’s not just about what you can give, they’ll ask what you need to progress too. Whether that’s paying for courses, textbooks, or conference tickets – if you think of it, they’ll consider it, genuinely.

You’ll work with scientists and researchers and all kinds of interesting stakeholders to design, build and implement tools. The people here are exceptionally passionate so will chart their own path where possible. You’ll facilitate some of that and be able to do the same.

If you’re serious about saving our planet this is definitely the role you should apply for.

What are you waiting for? ✊

ClimateTech GIS Operations Analyst

Location: Cambridge, flexible – quarterly office visits, maybe fully remote.

Salary: Up to €75K + Equity and benefits

Biodiversity is taking a beating at the hands of human activity.

Vegetation management may not sound all that exciting but building earth observation software to integrate satellite imagery, geospatial analysis and Machine Learning with data coming in from teams, remote sensors and other hardware on the ground certainly does!

The key focuses of this role will be building and optimising GIS infographics for customers, running the more complex analysis they may struggle with and reviewing how this company structures their data for storage and reuse in future scenarios to raise the value of analysis that is completed.

Their customer base is spread across multiple regions, and they’ve expanded quickly so experience working with global or regionally diverse customers will be beneficial. Also, if you’ve worked with mapping and overlays for assets, such as EV charge points or optimising the location of remote sensors, that’d be helpful – and this can be quite broad.

They use Google Cloud Platform and Python alongside modern Typescript, ES6, ES7 and frameworks like React and NodeJS. They’re not looking for this person to be an engineer but any familiarity with those technologies will stand out.

It’s likely that this person will be an early member of the team that will need to grow through 2024, so some leadership opportunities are likely. You’ll also be establishing the standards for how they run GIS analysis moving forward, looking to reduce errors and improve customer experience.

You’ll support the development and data teams on various projects too as so much of the work here incorporates or integrates geospatial and remote sensing data. Some projects you’ll own and build out, others you’ll review and contribute to.

The team here are highly passionate, having been quickly growing this year and are set to continue that growth with the rate at which they’re acquiring new customers. In future, they will look to expand into other product lines to support additional industries in delivering climate solutions.

If you’re serious about saving our planet this is definitely a role you should apply for.

What are you waiting for? 😀

Product Manager – Sustainability

Written by Rebel Recruiters on .

Role:  Product Manager (Sustainability)

Salary:  £50k to £60k per annum base + bonus and benefits

Location:  2 times a week in the West Midlands / Warwickshire during probation (can be largely remote thereafter)

Sector – ESG / Sustainability

You’re a highly talented Product professional.  You build rock-solid roadmaps, are highly data-led and drive product development teams forward to get things delivered.

But are the Products you are currently delivering helping to make the world a better, more sustainable place?

Perhaps that’s becoming increasingly important to you, or at the very least you like the idea of working as a PM at a company with a growing global footprint, super-talented individuals and a track record of progressing careers.

We’ve worked with this company for years and have been proud to see many of our placements go on to great things there.  The feedback from them is always positive and, whilst they have their challenges (as do all fast-growing companies), they treat people well and have everyone bought into the company vision.

In this role you will be looking after a product portfolio of 3 large internally facing products.  You will be supported by two Business Analysts and will be working with a development team based across the UK with some offshore support.

To be clear, whilst there may be some new product development, this role is more concerned with taking the company’s existing products and making them fit for the company’s growth and expansion plans.

If you are the sort of Product Manager who gets their kicks by undertaking deep user research and mapping out competitive markets whilst visioning new products this probably isn’t the role for you!

The company has a wealth of knowledge and experience that you will be able to draw on internally, so this would suit someone who has worked in a more internal delivery-focused Product Management role as opposed to a commercially driven PM background.

Your previous title is not so important, so if you are a Product Manager, a Product Owner or hold any other title, as long as you have a proven track record in developing product roadmaps and working with software development teams to ensure effective delivery of these, then you will be considered for the position.

On offer is a base salary up to £60k, a generous pension scheme, bonus, life assurance and subsidized gym membership.

Please do apply or call us to discuss further!

Senior GreenTech DevOps Engineer

Senior GreenTech DevOps Engineer

Salary: €75,000 – €90,000 + equity + remote setup, conference, and training budgets.

Location: Fully remote – Europe or UK based.

Forest management can be challenging. Cut too much and you’re causing unnecessary damage, too little and the risk of wildfire or damage to infrastructure can be devastating and costly.

Vegetation management may not sound all that exciting but building earth observation software to integrate satellite imagery and Machine Learning with data coming in from team and remote sensors and other hardware on the ground presents interesting challenges!

These systems are used to efficiently manage resources and team activities, saving time and money.

Most importantly though, this saves homes, businesses and services from blackouts caused by seasonal and extreme weather events. It’s a game changer in energy and climate resilience.

The company have grown rapidly since the end of 2021. There are ~60 people now, with around 40 of those in development and data science.

They hired a DevOps Engineer in Jan 2023 and are growing that team as they look to scale their systems and build resilience ahead of a Series A fundraiser in early 2024.

You’ll support the data and software engineering teams to ensure new features go live seamlessly, and that new services have the capacity they need to run efficiently. Ensuring monitoring and alerting is set up will also be key, as well as implementing some security protocols in collaboration with the director of CloudSec.

They use Google Cloud Platform but understand AWS is largely transferrable, alongside Docker, Kubernetes and Dagster. But experience with Argo, Airflow, Dask or others is transferrable.

If you’ve worked with satellite data or imagery, that’s hugely valuable, and Pangeo stack, so JupyterHub, Xarrat or Zarr will also stand out.

They’re keen to find someone with experience working in startups, ideally with satellite imagery in some capacity, at the very least with large and complex data systems that include high-resolution image-based and geospatial data. 

If you’ve not worked with satellite imagery or geospatial data, but you’re a bit of a security expert and are keen to expand your responsibilities there, this could still work if you’ve worked with huge data systems.

Following that, a real passion for climate solutions is something they’ll need to see.

They care about their staff. They have a 13% vacation stipend to send you on some epic holidays and contribute to your training and development, and operate truly flexibly – so long as you’re available and overlap with the team (+/- 3-hour CET is best) you can work when you chose.

If this sounds like a bit of you please reach out. They’re remote first and will consider people anywhere in Europe. They can also provide visa sponsorship via a Netherlands government salary sacrifice scheme if you’d prefer to move to the Netherlands.

GreenTech Technical Delivery Lead

GreenTech Tech Delivery Lead

Location: Fully remote within Europe, +/- 1 hour of CET.
Salary: €70K – €85K + 13% vacation supplement + equity & benefits.

Vegetation management. Harder than it sounds. Cut too much; cause unnecessary damage, too little and the risk of wildfire or damage to infrastructure can be devastating and costly.

Vegetation management may not sound that exciting but building earth observation software to integrate satellite imagery with geospatial analysis and Machine Learning with data coming in from teams, remote sensors and other hardware on the ground presents interesting challenges! 

These systems are used to efficiently manage resources and team activities, saving time and money.

Most importantly though, this protects as much nature as possible while saving homes, businesses, and services from blackouts caused by seasonal and extreme weather events. Literally improving energy and climate resilience.

The company have grown rapidly since the end of 2021. There are ~60 people now, with around 30 of those in development and geospatial / data science.

The data science team are growing to increase the capacity of their systems for their existing clients, and to meet demand as new clients with ever-more-interesting requirements come online. They need someone to support these efforts to utilise the tools they’ve built to bring value from satellite imagery and other geospatial datasets, analysing those using machine learning, and delivering the end results to customers.

You’ll work with commercial teams and customers to understand their needs, what existing solutions can be applied, what’s already planned and in development and what future capabilities can be delivered. You’ll design bespoke solutions and wrangle the necessary people to deliver those.

Also, supporting software engineering and data science teams to improve and create products and tools, define risk, strategy and resource management alongside executing delivery plans in line with estimations.

This role is somewhat hybrid, touching on technical project management, with some hands-on work using Python and Jupyter notebooks to implement fixes, optimise and configure tools and generally tie off loose ends where needed, so you’ll be ~30% hands-on.

Commercial remote sensing experience and satellite imagery exp are a huge benefit, but having experience with Python and Jupyter Notebooks is a must, and they’re keen to speak with people who’ve worked at start-ups or small companies where close customer relationships and interaction are/were the norm. 

Predominantly they use Python, but they also work pretty heavily with GIS technologies and tools. They also use PyTorth and Tensorflow, so experience with similar frameworks or libraries will be transferrable, especially if you have that remote sensing, geospatial or satellite data exp.

There will be projects that others lead, and you review or support, but you will take the lead on lots of different projects, some small, some larger. The team are friendly and passionate, and the company are supportive with good benefits including equity, so you’ve bought into any future success.

What are you waiting for – if this sounds interesting and you have done 60-70%, or more, of what’s mentioned above in some form, do hit apply. 

Ruby on Rails Developer – Biodiversity Systems

Written by Rebel Recruiters on .

Ruby on Rails Engineer – Biodiversity / Conservation

Location: Hybrid, Cambridge 2 days per week (ideally, maybe more flexibility)

Salary: £50K – £62K + 12% pension, life insurance and more.

VISA SPONSORSHIP AVAILABLE FOR RELOCATION

Are you someone who loves our planet and wants to do good in a role with a biodiversity-focused global organisation?

Would you like to do more with your technical skills? Are you somebody who’s dreamed of working to support and connect people and systems for the benefit of species conservation? Read on.

Thankfully, as you read this there are organisations already working on deeply detailed and technical systems aimed at recovering and regenerating ecosystems. These are essential in promoting collaboration and preventing biodiversity loss or limiting loss in scenarios where it is unavoidable.

These systems range from databases on endangered species and key biodiversity areas to things like tracking pollution, monitoring species and the recovery of regions or sites. They are integrated into companies, governments and organisations all over the world and help all to understand how ecosystems interact and influence one another and how we, as humans, can protect them.

A passion for nature or the environment more broadly will serve you well here, as a conservation org. they are hyper-focused on impact and making their work accessible, integrating partners and customers into their platform to expand who is making use of this data for decision-making.

The CIO here has real ambitions to see the tech evolve across this 2,000+ people org with ~10 regional offices and teams spread more broadly than that across biodiversity hotspots (physical & political). That includes hardware, software, data science, and the whole shebang.

So what will you be doing specifically?

Building and maintaining the tech foundation that underpins a key database and platform. This will include investigating issues and implementing fixes to build in resilience and remove points of failure. You’ll also bring documentation up to standard; much was completed by consultants and wasn’t always updated by internal members of the team so there is some work to do in enabling the evolution of this platform and this may include switching to Python and Django or other technologies in the longer-term – 2+ years.

The skills priorities are Ruby on Rails and exp building APIs, exp with geospatial data and GIS tools is highly desirable. The role will be 80:20 backend : frontend, with some infrastructure and security tasks in there.

There are a number of partners who collaborate on various other interlinked tools, so cross-team collaboration exp will be beneficial. If you’ve touched on security or some DevOps tools and cloud technologies, but not extensively, there is support to grow your knowledge – in the form of partners/teammates and funding for courses, textbooks or other materials if needed.

It’s a small team of ~5, including the systems manager, that is part of a broader conservation tech ecosystem of 5-6 other teams and systems that occasionally collaborate or share resources, including with some of those partner orgs.

You’ll be involved with the design, review code and work closely with, scientists, ecologists, and climate researchers, prioritise work and engage some stakeholders or 3rd parties, also some internal teams such as GIS and data analysts and program managers to support them in delivering projects across various tiers of the conservation sector.

GreenTech Fullstack (or potentially frontend) DeveloperLocation: Cambridge, hybrid – 2 days per MONTH on-siteSalary:  Up to £38K (+12% pension, healthcare and more)

Biodiversity is a buzzword right now. The destruction of nature and loss of biodiversity is amplifying other crises.

Governments are scrambling to measure and value nature, and how their infrastructure or economic plans impact our wild spaces, health and environment, questioning whether a diverse forest is more commercially or socially valuable than an oil rig, palm-oil plantation or regenerative farm?

How do you even track that?

This organisation build tools and offer services and support to conservation partners, private companies and governments around the world to integrate nature into all that they do.

You’ll work proactively with technologies such as Javascript and VueJs, some Ruby on Rails and Python on the backend, along with lots of SQL as they manage various critical databases, to leverage insights and empower all kinds of people, from scientists to policy and lawmakers.

You’ll have one of the most supportive and engaged senior management teams we’ve seen, along with access to a variety of support for learning, from paying for textbooks or conference tickets to getting you onto that course you’ve been tempted to buy.

The work you do here will accelerate the positive impacts and solutions available to improve our environment by generating buy-in across stakeholder groups of all levels, showing the real-world benefits of enhancing and protecting biodiversity.

A lot of these benefits are tangible economic and social wins that in the longer term will reduce our dependency on problematic resources such as fossil fuels.

Their tech stack is predominantly Javascript, Ruby on Rails, Python and MySQL, with some other bits sprinkled in and use of all cloud platforms based on what their partners use.

They have so many areas to add value, they need someone driven who can be decisive in wanting to find ways to add value.

You’ll work with scientists and researchers to design, build and implement tools. You might run workshops or training to help them with the tools they’ve built for themselves. The people here are exceptionally passionate so will chart their own path where possible. You’ll be able to do the same and support others in their endeavours.

So, if you’re serious about saving our planet and turning the tide against the fight to fix our climate crisis, this is definitely a role you should apply for.

Biodiversity is taking a beating at the hands of human activity.

There are lots of ways technology can be utilised to help, rather than hinder, nature and our environment to prevent mass extinctions and nature loss.

This organisation works with governments, institutes, companies and orgs globally to build and implement solutions that improve outcomes.

The key focus of this role will be building and optimising biodiversity informatics products. In-house teams use some, others are built and maintained on behalf of conservation partners that are based around the world – some large and some very small, with varied specialisms and focuses.

Governments are scrambling to understand how valuable biodiversity is and how it intersects with their economic plans, questioning whether a diverse forest is more commercially or socially valuable than an oil rig or palm oil plantation. How do you even measure that?

The aim [of the organisation] is to be proactive in creating software and services that others can use and feed into to deliver on their goals and support nature-positive decision-making.

That means being more proactive in delivering software, geospatial mapping tools, websites, and mobile apps and coaching or supporting their junior team members to avoid technical debt and reach go-live for various projects on time, enabling people to make the change that’s needed.

Technically the skills needed for this role are PostGIS, PostgreSQL and Python. Skills and tech that are beneficial to have touched on are Javascript with VueJS, Ruby on Rails, MS Azure and anything data and automation-related, but GIS is the priority here.

You’ll support the development and data teams on various projects too as so much of the work here incorporates or integrates GIS and mapping features. Some projects you’ll own and build out, and others you’ll review and contribute to.

You’ll be able to get involved in some more complex tasks like discussions on architecture and tooling, estimations for projects, resource management, and assigning tasks within your team.

They’ll support you in your development, too. It’s not just about what you can give, they’ll ask what you need to progress too. Whether that’s paying for courses, textbooks, or conference tickets – if you think of it, they’ll consider it, genuinely.

In a senior capacity, you’ll also help others to grow through code reviews and coaching where you can, catching mistakes, helping people avoid them in future and introducing processes if necessary.

They have high standards when it comes to testing and have QA Engineers embedded into their teams, coaching and supporting devs to improve their capabilities and testing knowledge.

Critically though, you need to have a passion for tackling the climate crisis. They want people who have a good awareness of the scale of the problem and the urgency with which we must act to overcome the challenges ahead.
