Lead Full Stack Engineer

Overview

We are currently building our platform team and hiring for a full-time, in-person in Boston with 4 days in office, 1 day remote, full-stack engineer with the ambition to help get things done. You will own core pieces of the platform that modernizes how the world measures and manages forests. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to apply their skills towards fighting climate change, wants to experience the high-pace, high-ownership setting of an early startup, and can start onboarding in the next few weeks.

You will work with LiDAR, geospatial data, different types of AI, and real customers (TIMOs/REITs, USFS, DoD).

Climate change is one of the most meaningful challenges of our generation, and every possible solution put forward by the United Nations IPCC requires scaled carbon sequestration. Forests are critical for this reason, but they need to be managed for a growing set of values including sustainable wood production, carbon, biodiversity, and wildfire risk mitigation. We are an MIT climate tech startup applying autonomous vehicle technology to solve this problem, utilizing cutting edge sensors and perception AI to build the modern tooling needed to manage forests with great accuracy and confidence.

We are looking for a full-stack software engineer who excels at designing and implementing complex software systems. Responsibilities can range from implementing data pipelines between our robotics algorithms and our platform, to working on our ipad app, to implementing the latest features foresters have asked for in our web app. This is an amazing opportunity to join a well-positioned, ambitious technology startup making a large impact fighting climate change.

To be successful in this role, you should have an open mind and be familiar with a wide variety of software technologies. If you like being a polyglot in the tech world, we would love to talk with you!
