About usAeco is a start-up working to become one of the leading private, collaborative developers and financiers of peatland restoration projects across Europe and beyond.Why Peatlands?Peatlands cover just 3% of land but store nearly 30% of global soil carbon. When drained, they release ~5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Restoring them is one of the most powerful climate solutions—while also protecting biodiversity and water systems.How we make a difference?In a sector dominated by subsidies and slow public processes, aeco brings private-sector speed and collaboration. Aeco accelerates peatland restoration by combining restoration expertise, private finance, and digital tools. We build a platform where:Land stewards get long-term payments for climate protection—at no cost and with continued cultivation options.Corporates access local, transparent, high-quality carbon and potentially biodiversity credits.Investors tap into a verified green asset class.Restoration partners scale their impact through joint development, funding, and monitoring.With a first project implemented and plenty more in the pipeline we deliver projects from sourcing to financing, certification, and monitoring— in a standardized, digital-first, and third-party validated way. Our objective is to restore at least ha by 2030, scaling further in the 2030s.Your task – help us build the technical foundation for climate protectionTo make our vision a reality, we're looking for you – a technical all-rounder with curiosity and passion for both software and hardware. With us, you will develop web applications and a mobile app (primarily for Android) and make sure that our field equipment – from RTK GPS to water level loggers and other IoT devices – runs smoothly. You will also work with virtual systems and cloud components such as Postgres and Firebase databases, Docker environments on virtual servers, and open-source tools like OpenDataKit (ODK) or Geoserver, which need regular maintenance and updates.Whether it's Java, NodeJS, React, or Python: you enjoy software development and like to approach technical challenges and requirements pragmatically. At the same time, you're curious about new tools and devices, enjoy experimenting, and help our team find innovative technological solutions to make our mission even more impactful.In short: you are the technical link connecting our work in the field and in the office, bridging hardware, software, and cloud services.Your First tasks at a glance:Mobile App developmentHelp design and gradually take over mobile data collection – currently with ODK Collect and ODK Central, and in the future with your own native appManaging the data infrastructureDevelop and expand data interfaces between Google Workspace and PostgresMaintain, update, and further develop our Docker environment and the software components running in itHardware support and developmentProvide technical support, maintenance, and expansion of our field equipment (Android tablets, RTK devices, mobile router, etc.)Creatively improve and expand our technical field equipment – from new ideas to practical solutions in actionIT supportProvide technical support and troubleshooting for our team's day-to-day workRequirementsCompleted vocational training or degree in computer science, geoinformatics, systems engineering, electrical engineering, or a comparable fieldBasic knowledge of software development (ideally Java, NodeJS and/or Python)Interest in mobile applications (Android, Cordova, Flutter)Understanding of SQL databases (Postgres) and REST APIsFirst experiences with virtual servers and container environments (Docker)Interest in tools for (geo)data processing such as Open Data Kit (ODK) or GeoserverTechnical understanding of hardware (from standard IT equipment on Windows, Linux, MacOS to IoT devices and sensors)Motivation and curiosity to tackle a wide range of technical challenges – from software and hardware to cloud servicesWillingness to learn and openness to explore new topicsTeam spirit and a personal interest in nature and environmental issuesGood German and/or English skillsWe offer:Passionate small team tackling urgent and complex challenges in peatland restoration.Competitive remuneration package (incl. options).Flexible and results-oriented work environmentFreedom to shape technical topics and space for personal developmentExciting projects around peatland restorationPlease send applications to and let us know how you came across our job posting.
