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.
