About NCX

NCX is the trusted, number one provider of American-made forest carbon credits. Using our AI-powered Basemap, we connect American forest owners with pioneering net-zero companies like Microsoft.
Read more in this TechCrunch feature article about NCX, formerly known as SilviaTerra. We've also been featured in the Wall Street Journal.
We are backed by top investors including Marc Benioff (CEO of Salesforce), Union Square Ventures, Microsoft's Climate Innovation Fund, and Version One Ventures. Our global team of foresters, scientists, and technologists hails from leading research institutions and high growth technology startups.
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.

Key Responsibilities

  • Making our Landowner Platform a simple, clear, and fast experience. DevOps, UX, and building exciting new features.
  • Leveraging our data to directly show corporate sustainability leaders like Microsoft and Salesforce the impact of their Natural Capital purchases. We’ve recently launched the buyer impact dashboard and there’s a lot more to bring to the experience.
  • Contributing to our core prediction pipeline, responsible for Basemap. Supporting Data Science team with the tooling and cloud infrastructure to quickly iterate their models, and run performantly at huge scale over all forests on the globe.

Sound Like You?

  • Have experience with Python and React.
  • Are familiar with modern cloud infrastructure and tooling.
  • Embrace remote work and are able to overlap with core hours of 9 AM to 2 PM PT.
  • Enjoy full feature ownership: from UX wireframes to DevOps deployment and performance monitoring.
  • You’re excited to share in NCX's culture of clear written communication - whether in code comments, markdown, or Slab.

Our tech stack is:

Web: HTML, Javascript, React, CSS, Tailwind

Backend: Python, Django, MariaDB

Geospatial: QGIS, Rasterio and Fiona (Python), Remote Sensing Data

Platforms: AWS, Azure, Hadoop
