Quick facts

🌳 What we do

Pina Earth enables forest owners to access carbon markets the easy way. We build software that automatically assesses forests and simulates its future development to allow us to quantify carbon stock changes over time. Forest owners can store additional carbon in their forests by adopting sustainable forest management practices. Each additional ton of carbon stored generates a "carbon credit". By investing in forest carbon projects, companies contribute to climate protection. Through the sale of carbon credits, forest owners benefit from a recurring income that is reinvested to create diverse, climate-resilient forests.

🤖 Our stack

We love to keep things simple, straight forward and reusable, to deliver the most impact with the least effort. Our services' backend runs on Typescript, Next.js and Postgres (with Prisma as an ORM) in a serverless environment. Our frontend is therefore built with React, Bootstrap, and Sass Built with Webpack. We also use Java and Python for our data science work. Everything is running on Azure and we use Github for code management and as a CI/CD platform.

😲 About the opportunity

As a Software Engineering (Full Stack) Intern, you build our certification and quantification platform for forest owners. This includes a variety of tasks, such as feature discovery and implementation, system design, infrastructure planning, and development operations. Your ultimate goal is to enable forest owners to start and develop their carbon credit projects via Pina's platform - which is the heart of Pina's service.

😎 What you will work on

• Understand user needs: You are part of the feature discovery process together with us and our forest owners. You learn about their needs/problems and come up with solutions.
• Develop features: After learning what we need to build, you are involved in the actual implementation of the features from front to back. This includes work on our domain model, Typescript and React driven frontend, and our Next.js backend (with Prsima and Postgres).
• Build and run the code: You are responsible to test, deploy, and monitor your own code. This involves work for example with our infrastructure, CI/CD pipeline, and testing suites.
• Shape our team work: You are part of a fast ~~~~moving and teamwork ~~~~focused bunch of smart people, that live and breath the agile mindset. By actively attending all relevant team meetings (e.g. Grooming, Planning, Retro), you can directly influence how we work and flourish as a team.
