Passionate about the climate crisis and want experience working alongside Duke alums at a seed-stage startup? LandUp is building a marketplace that delivers land assets into carbon removal, emission reduction and renewables projects. Launched out of Harvard Business School in 2021, the team recently closed $2m of pre-seed funding from NFX, DUMAC and a group of climate-focused angels. LandUp has built a wedge helping institutional buyers source land for nature-based carbon removal, and is now looking for someone to join for a 6-8 week internship to help us with new markets including renewables and emission reduction. We are also open to working with students who would like to structure for-credit internships or independent projects in the fall. We’re looking for somebody with experience/passion for climate and strong research skills. We are based in Denver but the internship can be fully remote and we’re flexible on start date… sooner the better! If you’d like to learn more please send your resume to Tom at tcole@landup.com

As a first engineer on the team, you’ll be empowered to shape our software architecture, finding innovative solutions to complex problems, talking to customers, and incorporating their feedback, and growing into a leadership role as part of your career progression. “Founding engineer” is a fuzzy term, and for us it covers a range.

Ability to have fun and take breaks when needed What you’ll do: Build the next version of Arbol: v1 is a no-code solution built on Bubble, Discord, and Stripe. • Define our near-term and long-term technical roadmap. We will look to you for guidance on our technology stack and approach. • Write quality, clean, and secure code. You will be responsible for building and maintaining a well-architected product. • Work closely with the founding team on product decisions and strategy. We expect a point of view and a collaborative partner who is interested in finding creative solutions • Be part of hiring and building an engineering team to execute on the vision we’ve developed together. • Understand customers to figure out what we should be building and how we should build it • Working with the founding team to translate business requirements into engineering tasks • Manage our technical budget through decision making on different contractors or different vendors (for example, BAAS providers or other fintech API providers) that meet the needs of our users and allow us to launch workable prototypes more quickly.
