Looking for a Tech4Good role where you can use your skills to help nature and the
planet? The NBN Trust is the UK charity dedicated to “making data work for nature”. We’re a
wildlife charity and tech charity rolled into one! 
 We’re seeking a Full Stack
Developer to join our Development Team. You’ll be working with colleagues on the NBN Atlas –
the UK biodiversity data portal – which is a valued source of information for nature
conservation. 
 

This is an exciting time to be involved in biodiversity data. New global and national targets
for tackling the nature crisis will only work if they’re supported by sound evidence. Which is
where we come in. Our NBN Atlas brings together wildlife
data from 178 nature organisations across the UK and makes it accessible to all.

In this role you would report to our Lead Developer. You’ll enjoy a steady flow of interesting
projects and challenges, with your key responsibilities including:

  • Implementing a programme of enhancements and improvements to the NBN Atlas. 
  • Implementing internal applications and services that will significantly enhance operational
    efficiency and provide substantial support to the NBN Atlas team. 
  • Improving the NBN Atlas code base. 
  • Supporting and collaborating with the wider NBN Trust team in line with our team values. 

You’ll need full stack coding skills and be happy to get stuck in doing a bit of everything
(polyglot style), with experience as follows: 

  • Object Oriented Programming
  • MVC frameworks (ideally Java EE/Spring/Grails but would consider .NET) 
  • Rest Web Services 
  • ORM such as Hibernate 
  • Working knowledge of Linux 
  • MySQL or PostgreSQL 
  • JavaScript, jQuery, CSS. 

Sometimes you’ll be given a blank canvas, and it will be up to you to work out what to do and
how to do it. You’ll also need to be happy working on complex and sometimes undocumented code –
it’s all part of the challenge of working on the NBN Atlas! 

We’d like you to be someone who’s passionate about making a difference, and who enjoys being
part of a team but is also able to work independently using your own initiative. You should
have excellent organisational, problem-solving and communication skills. Applicants must be
UK-based and eligible to work in the UK. We can offer you: 

  • A meaningful role making a genuine difference for nature. 
  • Your place in a small, friendly and mutually supportive team. 
  • Flexible, fully remote working with occasional travel. 28 days leave per annum.

The NBN Trust is an equal opportunities employer and we’re striving to create a diverse and
inclusive team.

To apply

Please send your CV along with a cover letter (no more than 2 sides of A4) to [email protected] Your covering letter should include the following:

  • Why does this role interest you?
  • What key aspects of your experience equip you for this role?

If suitable, we will then arrange an introductory call with our Lead Developer. We aim for the entire process, from when you first get in touch to meeting us for your job interview, to take no more than 10 working days. Interviews will take place virtually, via Microsoft Teams.
