Senior Software Engineer

at  LandTech

WHO ARE WE?

We are on a mission to drive tech-enabled change for developers to shape the communities of the future.
LandTech is supercharging the whole development process by building technology for every stage of a property developer’s journey towards unlocking land. 90% of the 200 top global cities have a housing crisis and it’s too difficult for property developers to build the places we need. To keep up with demand, the property industry needs to keep evolving. LandTech is part of that evolution.
Established in 2014 with two Co-Founders passionate about solving a complex problem, our product offering is the industry standard for site sourcing and assessment, and we are now a multi-million-pound business carving a path to international success.
