Senior Software Engineer & Software Engineer
React, TypeScript, Node, Python | Global Environmental Data Business
Salary
- Software Engineer: £50,000–£60,000
- Senior Software Engineer: £70,000–£80,000
Location
Hybrid, based near London with remote first (over half in-office attendance is typically ~once a quarter). Commuting proximity ideal.
About the Role
This is a non-profit organisation at the heart of global environmental impact measurement, powering an independent system used by thousands of companies, cities, and regions to disclose performance in climate, water, and nature. Their data directly informs lending and investment decisions from institutions managing vast global assets.
The Software Engineering team builds and maintains a critical internal platform, the Scoring system that converts disclosure data into the metrics underlying all downstream impact assessments.
The existing stack is:
- Front-end: React, TypeScript
- Back-end: Node.js, Python
- Infrastructure: Microsoft Azure (with willingness to onboard AWS/GCP talent)
- Working environment: AI/ML-driven enhancements (LLMs, text-based models)正已 eroding where data analysis meets automation.
Key challenges:
- Production-grade Python depth (core competitive advantage for Senior role; strong *beyond setup proficiency for Senior)
- Internal tooling only—no customer-facing operations.
- Regulated environment with strict data security and governance.
