Full Stack Software Engineer Ocean Intelligence Platform Location: Hybrid (UK-based) | Remote-friendly Travel: Occasional trips to London for team sessions (monthly or at least quarterly) Type: Full-time | Tech leadership track Compensation: Circa £60,000 + ~1% equity options Please note this role is not live right now but is going live shortly, I thought this period would be a good time to catch people and maybe even have an initial chat. The Opportunity This is a chance to help build the digital brain of the ocean. You’ll be working on a next-generation ocean intelligence platform that turns raw environmental sensor data into insights trusted by ports, insurers, ocean developers, and compliance teams. From data streaming off autonomous marine systems to decision-ready dashboards, you’ll own critical parts of a platform that connects hardware, data science, and real-world action. If you’re excited by systems that span edge devices → cloud → beautiful UX, and want your work to have tangible environmental impact, this role is for you. What You’ll Do You’ll help design, build, and scale a production-grade platform, including: • Building scalable backend services to ingest and store real-time ocean sensor data (salinity, temperature, pressure, light, acidity, CO₂, dissolved oxygen, nitrates, and more), • Developing intuitive, map-based dashboards that visualise live and historical environmental data, • Creating user management, APIs, alerting systems (SMS/email/push), and reporting tools, • Collaborating with field engineers to validate sensor payloads, calibration, and data ingestion, • Helping design the end-to-end data pipeline - from edge devices to cloud infrastructure, • Working closely with leadership, marine operations, AI/ML, and commercial teams to shape the product roadmap, • Laying the groundwork for AI-ready data, satellite integrations, predictive analytics, and ESG-grade reporting You’ll Thrive If You Have • 3–5+ years’ experience as a full-stack engineer, ideally in climate, IoT, hardware-adjacent, or deep-tech environments, • Strong proficiency in Node.js and/or Python, PostgreSQL / time-series databases, and modern front-end frameworks (React / Next.js), • Experience building real-time data systems, APIs, and production dashboards, • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), especially systems interacting with edge devices, • Comfort working with sensor, geospatial, or scientific data (or a strong desire to learn), • A product mindset - you care about UX, performance, clarity, and making complex data usable for non-technical users Nice to Have (But Not Required) • Experience with environmental or marine datasets, ESG tools, or compliance platforms, • Exposure to spatial visualisation (Mapbox, Leaflet), satellite imagery, or digital twins, • Experience with time-series databases and visualisation tools (Grafana, Plotly, etc.), • Previous experience in an early-stage startup or building alongside hardware teams Why Join • Work at the intersection of climate tech, deep tech, and ocean systems, • Build software that directly supports coastal resilience, marine ecosystems, and the blue economy, • Join a fast-moving, mission-driven team spanning AI, robotics, and climate science, • Real ownership: equity upside and the chance to shape the platform architecture from the ground up, • A clear path toward technical leadership as the platform and team scale If you’re motivated by meaningful problems, elegant systems, and real-world impact and want to help define how ocean data is used globally, I’d love to hear from you. (those sending me a direct e-mail or outlining their passion for ClimateTech/ OceanTech will be first in line as this role is all about finding someone passionate about helping the planet)
