Climate Tech

Want to grow your backend skills while working on meaningful climate technology?

The software you build will support organisations working to better monitor infrastructure, improve operational safety, and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future.

This is an opportunity to work on real-world systems that help organisations make smarter, more sustainable decisions.

The Company

We’re working with a growing climate tech company developing digital platforms that help organisations better understand and manage complex infrastructure systems.

Their technology brings together sensor data, cloud platforms, analytics, and geospatial insights to provide greater visibility into real-world operations. By combining modern software engineering with environmental innovation, the company is helping drive more efficient and sustainable infrastructure management.

The Role

We’re looking for a Java Software Engineer to join a collaborative backend team and help develop the cloud-based platforms behind these systems.

You’ll work alongside experienced engineers contributing to backend services that process operational, sensor, and geospatial data. This is a hands-on role where you’ll write production code, learn modern engineering practices, and gradually take on more responsibility as your experience grows.

You’ll also gain exposure to how systems operate in production, occasionally supporting investigations into live issues and learning how reliability and performance are managed at scale.

What Success Looks Like

Delivering well-tested Java features and API endpoints
Applying best practices around code quality and system design
Contributing to reliable and regular platform releases
Developing your understanding of cloud infrastructure, data pipelines, and distributed systems
Seeing your work support technology that enables more sustainable infrastructure management

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with a solid foundation in backend development, a strong desire to learn, and an interest in climate-focused technology.

Essential

3+ years of commercial Java development experience
Experience building or contributing to RESTful APIs
Working knowledge of SQL databases
Exposure to cloud environments (Azure preferred, others considered)
Familiarity with version control, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing
Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset

Desirable

Interest in data-heavy, geospatial, or analytics-driven systems
Some exposure to containers or microservices
Curiosity about environmental, infrastructure, or sustainability-focused technology
Motivation to grow into a more senior engineering role over time

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to join a purpose-driven climate tech company where your work contributes to solving real-world challenges.

You’ll help build core backend systems, develop modern cloud-based platforms, and collaborate with engineers and product teams working on meaningful environmental technology.

You’ll also get

Hybrid working with flexibility in a Bristol-based team
Salary up to £60,000
Pension contributions
25 days holiday + 8 bank holidays
Participation in an EMI share scheme

If you’re a Java engineer looking to develop your skills while working on impactful technology, this is a great opportunity to work on systems helping organisations operate more sustainably.
