We are looking for passionate, collaborative, and entrepreneurial individuals to join the team. If you like fast-paced environments and want to help us build the future of forestry, then we’d love to speak to you!
Job Description
Engineers at NCX write software that enables the largest carbon projects by acreage in the continental US. Terabytes of geospatial data are processed into a high-precision forest inventory, underpinning the Natural Capital marketplace. Thousands of forest landowners with ownerships ranging from as small as 5 acres to the largest timber companies in the US are enrolling on the Landowner Platform, looking to unlock value streams that previously couldn’t be discovered or measured. Behind the scenes, our engineering team is doing many things that won’t scale. Given recent press and landowner word-of-mouth, that scale is coming at us even sooner than expected. That’s where you come in.
Your Opportunity
We’re looking for someone to join the team who can contribute across a wide variety of challenges. These include but aren’t limited to: cloud pipeline processing, DevOps, database schema, 3rd party API integrations, geospatial data visualization, and searching “how do I vertically center a div” on Stack Overflow from time to time. We’re looking for demonstrated ability and interest in learning new tools, and excitement about writing software that affects the way the world's forests are managed.
This is a remote position.
