Senior DevOps Engineer (f/m/d)

The Landbanking Group (TLG), co-founded by a visionary female entrepreneur, is on a mission to completely transform land use in these unprecedented times of accelerating climate change, mass extinction and social divide.

A novel, globally active company was founded to turn landowners and land stewards into producers and sellers of ecosystem services and products.

TLG integrates various geospatial data sources and leverages cutting-edge machine learning models for satellite imaging, carbon footprint and biodiversity analysis. Furthermore, metagenomics, open supply chain, and other relevant data enables us to develop digital twins of land plots, assess ecosystem quality, verify proof of impact and tokenize the claims so that they can be traded or bundled into tradable assets.
