About us

Cecil provides a single point of integration to a curated network of nature data providers, ultimately making datasets consistent, accessible, and ready for spatial analysis at scale.

We are a lean and well funded ClimateTech with < 10 people. Our product is being used by leading organisations from small to enterprise scale covering billions of hectares globally.

What will you do?

• Own features end-to-end, including systems design, automated testing, implementation, documentation, deployment, observability, refactoring, and optimisation.
• Embrace “you build it, you run it” with ownership of the entire infrastructure across multiple deployment environments and cloud providers.
• Improve our developer experience, internal tooling, and key architectural decisions focusing on resilience, data privacy, security, and scalability.
• Mentor team members in your domain and technical areas of expertise while fostering a culture of continuous improvement and career development.
• Encourage a collaborative engineering process that inspires the team to deliver well-tested software while balancing speed to meet business goals.

What will you bring onboard?

• Extensive experience developing resilient, secure, and highly scalable spatial systems for vector and raster data using our primary technologies with the Stack below.
• Solid understanding of computer science fundamentals, software design principles, infrastructure as code, automated testing, networking protocols, and distributed systems.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to learn and explain complex topics to technical and non-technical teams.

Ways of working

We follow a lean XP process with strong focus on execution. This means we don’t have typical meetings like daily standup, sprint planning, and retrospectives.

When there are key topics like new priorities and postmortems, we jump on a call as needed. Instead of agile sprints and boards, we use simple checklists and we collaborate closely together with pair programming on the hardest problems and key architectural decisions.

We are fully remote and we allow for flexible working hours in your local timezone with a minimum overlap of 3 hours per business day in Australian Eastern Time (AET).
