Job Description

The Landbanking Group’s (TLG) mission is to completely transform the way we use land in these unprecedented times of accelerating climate change, mass extinction and social divide.

A novel, globally active company was founded to turn landowners and land stewards into producers and sellers of ecosystem services and products.

TLG integrates diverse geospatial data sources and makes use of the latest machine learning models for earth observation (EO) data, carbon footprint and biodiversity analysis. Combined with scalable ground-based assessments, e.g. metagenomics, bioacoustics, we develop digital twins of land plots, assess ecosystem quality, verify proof of impact and tokenize the claims so that they can be traded or bundled into tradable assets.

  • Experience in EO metadata handling using STAC
  • Knowledge of geospatial data management principles, including database design and data formats
  • Familiarity with Linux environments, version control and cloud deployment, i.e. bash, git, docker, AWS

  • A positive, inspiring and truly interdisciplinary work atmosphere
  • High degree of autonomy
