About FaunaPhotonics

At FaunaPhotonics, we are at the forefront of biodiversity monitoring — providing essential data to support preservation and delivering insights into the effects of environmental interventions. 

Our IoT sensor technologies capture insect activity, which is processed and analysed in our Data Lake using AI. The resulting biodiversity insights are delivered through our customer portal, enabling users to take informed action and document their impact. In doing so, we help drive sustainable solutions for the planet. 

We’re a team of 12 professionals working from our office in Nordhavn. Our work environment embraces agile development, cross-functional collaboration, and a culture of innovation. We prioritise open dialogue, fail-fast experimentation, and an entrepreneurial mindset as we pursue our shared vision. 

Your Role

We launched our customer portal in April 2024 to integrate with our IoT sensor technologies and deliver real-time insights into ecosystem health. With the foundation in place, we’re now focused on enhancing the platform based on user feedback — simplifying how we visualise biodiversity data, manage sensor installations, provide customer support, and monitor our fleet of devices. 

As a Senior Full Stack Developer, you’ll play a key role in this evolution. You’ll refine existing features, design and implement new functionality, and improve both the user experience and back-end architecture. Your contributions will directly impact how environmental data is accessed, understood, and acted upon by our customers. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop intuitive, user-friendly interfaces to present complex biodiversity and insect activity data 

• Collaborate with the team to integrate new technologies and maintain a scalable, cloud-based infrastructure (AWS) 

• Contribute to an agile environment, focusing on rapid iteration, continuous learning, and innovation 

• Ensure our customers can easily access, interpret, and act on real-time environmental data to support biodiversity efforts 

Professional Experience & Qualifications

In summary, the ideal Senior ML Engineer will have:

• 3+ years of experience as an ML engineer

• MSc in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or similar,

• Experience with applying deep learning for signal processing

• Understanding and experience with MLOps

• Solid programming skills in Python

• Experience with cloud programming, especially AWS

• Entrepreneurial spirit who is structured, proactive and independent

• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across business and technology functions.

What We're Looking For 

5+ years of experience with: 

• DevOps, cloud infrastructure, and deployment on AWS 

• Frontend development using ReactJS 

• PHP (preferably Laravel) 

• Working with IoT devices 

Your Profile: 

• A structured developer who works methodically with an eye on scalability and maintainability 

• Experienced in building and maintaining robust web applications 

• Passionate about simplifying complex data into usable, customer-facing insights 

• Motivated by environmental sustainability and technology with purpose 

• Comfortable in agile teams and collaborative, cross-functional settings 

Why FaunaPhotonics? 

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a company where technology meets environmental impact. You will contribute directly to a product that helps track biodiversity and foster a more sustainable future — with real data, real devices, and real impact.
