Senior Product Engineer

The role

We encourage collaborative engineering practices rooted in Extreme Programming (XP) such as pair programming, making overlap with our UK-based engineers highly preferable (GMT+0 to GMT+2).

We are a market-leading nature tech company on a mission to make nature measurable and actionable  platform delivers vital insights on species, habitats, and nature‑related risks, helping businesses across sectors – from mining and renewable to CGS and financial services – make smarter, more sustainable decisions.

As global leaders in biodiversity monitoring and eDNA analysis, we are transforming how nature is measured. Our technology makes biodiversity insights accessible, actionable, and scalable, powering change from conservation to industry. Recognised as Earthshot Prize Finalists 2024, Bloomberg

NEF Pioneers 2024, World Economic Forum Technology Pioneers 2024, and part of the Tech Nation Future Fifty 2025, we are shaping the future of how organisations understand and protect nature.

We are looking for an experienced full‑stack Product Engineer to join our collaboration‑first product engineering team. You’ll join a team of seasoned engineers delivering end‑to‑end features across the entire stack that powers our transformational biodiversity platform. You won’t just be writing code; you will be solving user problems, shaping the roadmap, and taking features from an initial concept through to a live product.

• 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 Type Script 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.

At Nature Metrics diversity and inclusion are part of our DNA. Together, we continue to build an inclusive culture that encourages, supports, and celebrates the diverse voices of our employees. It fuels our innovation and connects us to the communities we work with. Our values leave no space for stereotypes. We are all unique and pull together for a common purpose.

What you’ll bring

• A love of nature. We are mission‑driven,…
