Description

Our client, The Landbanking Group (TLG), is building Landler — a global platform that makes nature measurable and investable. It turns biodiversity, carbon, soil, and water into decision-grade data that landowners, companies, and investors can use to track risks, model interventions like regenerative farming, and create nature-based assets. They are now seeking a Fullstack Software Engineer to help build the technology behind this platform. In this role, you’ll develop APIs, integrations, and user-facing tools that make complex environmental science actionable — directly enabling better decisions for land use, investment, and ecosystem regeneration worldwide. TLG is a dynamic scaleup with its headquarters in Munich, an office is Cape Town, and operations around the world. It has raised over $16m in the past 2 years.

What You Will Be Doing Build the platform: Develop functionality across the stack — React + TypeScript on the frontend, Django on the backend. APIs & integrations: Write APIs that power the frontend and integrate with calculation engines that process large datasets and long-running computations. Handle scale with confidence: Work comfortably with large databases (millions of rows), ensuring speed, reliability, and scalability. Startup agility: Collaborate in an agile, fast-changing environment, breaking down work, estimating complexity, and iterating quickly on new ideas. Proactive problem-solving: Spot opportunities, propose solutions, and drive features forward — not waiting for perfect specs but helping shape them. Collaboration: Work closely with colleagues across engineering, science, and product to turn complex environmental data into user-friendly tools. Reliability: Contribute to decisions on availability, scalability, performance, and usability; troubleshoot incidents across the stack when needed. 5+ years of practical experience as a Software Engineer, with a proven track record of shipping large web applications and scale software or web applications Advanced knowledge of React, Django and Python. JavaScript, TypeScript and Django REST Framework are a plus Experience with concepts such as CI/CD, containers (Docker), and related tools for both frontend and backend development Experience in SaaS or platform development, ideally in an early-stage startup Comfortable working with large-scale databases and building scalable applications Proficiency in agile methodologies like Scrum or Kanban Ability to work across the stack: from frontend graphs and interfaces to backend integrations and automated business processes.
