Who are we? Our mission is to regenerate natural ecosystems responsibly so that the planet and its communities can thrive. We aim to regenerate 1 million hectares of land globally.       Zora Ecosystems accelerates nature recovery using data, technology, and ecological science. We build systems that enable ecosystem restoration at scale, blending software engineering with geospatial analytics and environmental data science. We combine our technology and domain expertise with on-the-ground relationships to mobilise landowners, investors, government bodies, and communities around large scale nature restoration programmes.     We are a venture-backed scale-up entering a new phase of growth. After our success working with landowners to deliver projects on the ground, we are now expanding to the demand-side of the market. Partnering with large corporates and regulated utilities providers, we will be providing landscape level solutions across a wide range of nature-based interventions, targeting a broad scope of outcomes that includes water quality, flood risk, carbon sequestration, biodiversity uplift and many more.     For more information on Zora Ecosystems, our background and our culture:   <a href="https://careers.zora.eco/">https://careers.zora.eco/</a> Your mission We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help design and build the next generation of solutions here at Zora Ecosystems.
