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.
