Creating climate impact across the US - ten million acres and counting
Our Goal: Create a Massive Positive Environmental Global Impact
We're helping landowners participate in emerging markets for carbon, biodiversity, and other types of natural capital.
We're building a platform to fully and fairly value every acre of forest in the world.
As an early hire at NCX, you will shape our growth, culture, and product as we build the foundation of the nature-positive economy.
What can you do with a piece of land? NCX Data Engineers can tell you!
Data Engineers at NCX are responsible for developing a distinct profile of every acre of land across millions of properties in the contiguous United States. We achieve this with a variety of remote satellite imagery and open-source tools and data to come up with the key characteristics of any given parcel of land. With this knowledge, we can identify the most appropriate programs on the NCX marketplace for every landowner to find new revenue streams for their land while taking nature-positive action like tree planting or harvest deferral.
On our team you'll use Python (FastAPI, Celery), Postgres (PostGIS), eoAPI, AWS (including CDK, Lambda, Batch, Elasticache), GDAL, and more. And you'll apply your expertise to help every other team at NCX, from Marketing and Product to Business Development and Platform Engineering.
Candidates who will succeed in this role:
are proficient in Python
have advanced knowledge of geospatial concepts, terms, libraries, and techniques (PostGIS, GDAL, and shapely should already be well-loved friends)
have 2-5 years of experience working on geospatial problems
embrace the challenges of an early stage startup: are able to focus on the big picture, and are nimble in adapting to a dynamic natural capital industry
