The role
Join our team!
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.
As we enter a new phase of rapid global growth, we are seeking a back-end software developer to work on the development of all in-house developed services and configuration of procured systems. You will work with the blended software delivery teams and will be involved in scaling our infrastructure for future business growth.
This role requires close working with the wider technical team (Data, Bioinformatics, Product) to build a transformational biodiversity platform. You should have a proven track record of working with software teams, embedding automation, and best practices in Agile development methods, including DevOps.
