We are building a data platform that serves the best organizations in the world. Our data platform is an end-to-end, modular solution that can transform data into meaningful services. In this platform, agricultural and biodiversity data are harvested from diverse sources and –after appropriate enrichment- they can be published through a set of web services to internal and external systems.

We need help in further evolving our data platform and we are looking for smart, problem solvers to join our technology team. We use Java, Solr, Elastic Search, Drupal, EC2 and more (but you can even propose us new technologies).
