The role We encourage 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. Collaborating with domain experts across Engineering, Product, Data, Bioinformatics and Nature Strategy, you will translate complex requirements into seamless user experiences. You will 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. You will drive foundational work across product and engineering, helping our teammates navigate various data engineering challenges, guiding technology choice and adoption of best practices. This includes designing and delivering scalable, cloud-based systems and leveraging AI to accelerate development. Contribute to the sustainable delivery of quality software. You will 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 — balancing quality with impactful velocity, through both pair programming and peer-reviewed development. Champion engineering fundamentals. You will help the team continually raise the bar through code review, open discussion, and by leading by example. When we move fast and keep scope lean, it's the scope that shrinks, rather than the quality. Support our customers. We believe in owning what we build. You will help define what success looks like for the features you ship, setting the right targets, alerts, and thresholds to catch problems before our customers do. You will participate in an on-call rotation to support issues as they arise, and actively work to reduce the repetitive, manual toil that slows the team down and limits our impact. Support our teammates. You will have ample opportunities to mentor other engineers as they build their skills and experience. You'll do so through pair programming, code reviews, daily communication with your team, giving and receiving thoughtful feedback, and helping your teammates grow. You have a strong sense of what good engineering looks like and can articulate and coach that, helping the team build not just their technical skills, but their engineering instincts. About you What you'll bring A love of nature. We are mission-driven, with a deep affinity for the protection of biodiversity and natural systems. To make hard things happen, our team puts mission over ego. You find purpose not only in your own growth but in stopping climate change and biodiversity collapse. Experience with scalable data processing. You have led the design and implementation of concurrent, scalable and reproducible data workflows, are familiar with the challenges of data-intensive systems, and can advocate for best practices across pipelines and distributed compute. The systems you build enable rapid feature development without accumulating the debt that slows teams down. Familiarity with geospatial concepts. You may not be a geospatial expert, but you're comfortable discussing the differences between vector and raster data and applying these to the design of geospatial data pipelines and storage. A strong sense of collaborative teamwork. You believe that the best outcomes come from working closely together, not just splitting tickets and syncing up at standup. Through pairing, shared ownership, and genuine investment in your teammates' growth, we deliver better software, spread knowledge more effectively, and build a team where everyone can do their best work sustainably. You act as a bridge between technical and non-technical stakeholders, bringing clarity to requirements and trade-offs, and helping everyone move in the same direction. Technical fluency across the stack. You are comfortable working across the full stack, from back-end data pipelines and APIs through to intuitive, responsive front-end interfaces. You go where the work is, not where your comfort zone is, and you care about the experience as much as the implementation. Comfortable supporting production software. You have experience shipping to production, investigating and triaging issues in deployed code, and have opinions about making on-call an effective and positive experience. When you ship, you ship with confidence, delivering tangible value and keeping the team moving forward. An adaptive and curious mindset. You are comfortable pivoting in response to new insights and don't wait to be pointed at problems. You proactively identify opportunities for improvement and take ownership of driving them forward, because you care about the product, not just your slice of it. A focus on customer value. You will look beyond the ticket and have the experience to keep things simple, revisit scope, and work in small iterations — never losing sight of the problem you were meant to solve. You are interested in how customers use the platform and are willing to iterate rapidly based on feedback and usage data. Clear and open communication. We consider clear and thoughtful communication a fundamental engineering skill and a strong predictor of future impact. You demonstrate this in your contribution to documentation, collaborative problem-solving, and willingness to give and receive feedback. 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. We recommend discussing this pathway with the Head of Data and Engineering and Lead Software Engineer during the interview. 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 (for those UK-based, international benefits will vary) including salary sacrifice pension scheme prioritising sustainability; life assurance; Enhanced annual leave; Cycle to Work Scheme; enhanced family friendly policy; £250 L&D budget to use on our Learning platform, Learnerbly. Why us? At NatureMetrics diversity and inclusion are part of our DNA. Together, we continue to build an inclusive culture that encourages, supports, and celebrates the diverse voices of our employees. It fuels our innovation and connects us to the communities we work with. Our values leave no space for stereotypes. We are all unique and pull together for a common purpose. About us Backed by ambitious investors, we're on a mission to make biodiversity measurable at scale to underpin global goals and accelerate finance into nature. NatureMetrics combines tech and AI to derive simple insights from the full complexity of nature on the ground. We're a dynamic team passionate about nature and biodiversity and we take immense pride in our work and our impact. Join us on this journey!
