About Us
Gismap is an innovative NatureTech startup combining computer vision and GeoAI to transform how geospatial information (GIS data) is used for biodiversity conservation in the real estate and construction industries. Our SaaS platform enables companies to measure, monitor, and enhance biodiversity with unprecedented precision. By integrating advanced machine learning, geospatial analytics, and domain expertise in biodiversity, we help organizations meet regulatory requirements (e.g., CSRD and DGNB) while reducing their environmental footprint. At Gismap, we develop solutions such as biofactor assessments, urbanBioScore evaluations, green-corridor analyses, and biodiversity-projection models—all focused on sustainable strategies and technological innovation.
About The Role
As a Django Backend Developer at Gismap, you will join a small, cross-functional team and play a key role in building and operating our platform. You will be responsible for designing and developing robust, scalable backend services that handle large geospatial datasets, integrate AI models into production environments, and deliver REST and MCP APIs for our frontend, integrations, and external partners. In parallel, you will help ensure stability, performance, and security in our cloud infrastructure (primarily GCP).
