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.
