Role overview
Own the product & the pipeline: You’ll design everything from ingestion of raw Sentinel/Landsat scenes to the API that powers on-chain carbon registries and dashboards.
Impact at scale: Each line of code helps move millions of tonnes of CO₂ equivalent through verifiable nature-based projects.
Novel technology: No legacy cruft. Pick the right datastores, cloud primitives, and CI/CD flows from day one.
Educational environment: You will work with professors and academics who are top of their fields so you understand the why, while doing the how.
Path to leadership: You’ll play a role in hiring and mentoring subsequent engineers, setting technical direction for years to come.
What you'll work on
Architect end-to-end systems
-
Design satellite-image processing pipelines (GEE → xarray → Parquet/Zarr/IPFS) and the microservices that expose results via GraphQL/REST.
Ship product features
-
Build dashboards in Next.js/React and geospatial APIs in Node/Python/FastAPI that climate-finance customers love.
Scale & harden
-
Automate everything with IaC (Terraform/Pulumi), CI/CD, and robust monitoring. Profile memory & I/O to keep petabyte workflows affordable.
Prototype & iterate
-
Turn vague carbon-methodology specs into data models, algorithms, and user-facing tools.
Lead & mentor
-
Establish engineering best practices, run code reviews, and recruit the next generation of Cyclops engineers.
