NatureMetrics is a market-leading nature tech company on a mission to make nature measurable and actionable at scale. They are looking for an experienced full-stack Product Engineer to join their product engineering team, delivering end-to-end features for their biodiversity platform and solving user problems through collaborative engineering practices.
Responsibilities:
- 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
Requirements:
- Experience with scalable data processing
- Familiarity with geospatial concepts
- A strong sense of collaborative teamwork
- Technical fluency across the stack
- Comfortable supporting production software
- An adaptive and curious mindset
- A focus on customer value
- Clear and open communication
- Experience shipping to production, investigating and triaging issues in deployed code
- Comfortable discussing the differences between vector and raster data
- Experience with Go or Python on the back-end and React and TypeScript on the front-end
