At Species360, our mission is to help institutions to better manage their zoological, aquatic and botanical collections and to inform global species conservation efforts. We’re a non-profit tech company serving over 1,400 members in nearly 100 countries around the world.
Many botanic gardens struggle to keep up with their plant records. With Hortis, we are rethinking how users can capture and utilise their plant collection data. We onboarded our first subscriber a little over a year ago and are now signing up new gardens every week. With the early start-up phase behind us, we are now looking to expand the team to meet the needs of our fast growing community of enthusiastic users. Hortis is a contemporary product that runs on any modern browser with exciting opportunities ahead for relevant and impactful adoption of a wide range of technologies.
We work directly with curators, scientists and plant specialists around the world and find great joy in engaging with the community through the whole process from inception and product design, to deployment.
Species360 is head-quartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with the Hortis team being based remotely in the UK and the Netherlands. We work flexibly around core hours and organise quarterly off-site get-togethers to catch up and collaborate in person.
We’re looking for an experienced product engineer, based in the UK, who can align the pieces to solve complex problems. We don’t expect you to know all the technologies in our stack, but we are looking for solid TypeScript fundamentals and React experience.
As an equal opportunity employer, serving a global community of members, Species360 also embraces the value of diversity in its own team. We strive to be an organisation that is a rich blend of talented people working together to make a positive impact in our world.
In a casual, respectful and fun work environment, we aim to give everyone in the team the space they need to flourish and grow to their full potential. Transparent in our operations, we are committed to an open communication culture and welcome collaboration with a view to supporting our members as best we can. Peer recognition and celebration are encouraged and we organise a virtual monthly all-employee staff meeting and an annual staff retreat.
The estimated starting salary range for this position is between £40,000 - £65,000 depending on experience.
Our aim is to offer an efficient, transparent and friendly process to all candidates:
