Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Architect and develop full-stack web applications that integrate environmental simulation and generative design tools into an integrated software platform. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to translate computational ecology research and geospatial datasets into scalable production software.
Requires 5+ years of experience building production web applications with React or Vue and expert proficiency in JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python. Candidates should have experience with web-based 3D rendering and familiarity with 3D modeling applications like Rhino or Blender.
OXMAN is a nature-based research and design company based in Manhattan. We incubate ventures and technologies that reimagine the relationship between humanity and the natural world. Working across disciplines—from architecture and ecology to computation and materials science—we develop nature-centric solutions to critical environmental challenges.
EDEN is a digital design environment for the engineering and design of ecosystems—modeling the flows, relationships, and processes that sustain ecosystems, while bridging ecology and technology to enable the creation of resilient landscapes. We develop tools that quantify how landscapes can be engineered toward specific performance goals—cooling cities, filtering water, sequestering carbon, protecting key species—then use those tools to guide the design of ecologically active sites.
EDEN operates as both a design and innovation practice and an emerging software product. Today, our work spans strategic partnerships with developers, project-based design and analytics engagements, and the development of a software platform that packages our internal tools for broader use across the architecture, landscape architecture, and development industries.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and innovation-driven Senior Software Engineer to support our Eden Technologies—comprising design optimization, generative tools, environmental simulation, and ecosystem behavior models—into an integrated software platform. This role offers a unique opportunity to develop innovative technologies and visually compelling software that supports the digital design of architectural and urban projects optimized for ecosystem services.
Join us to redefine how design and technology can coexist with and enhance the natural world.
Please provide a cover letter and portfolio if available.
Architect and develop full-stack web applications integrating environmental simulation and generative design tools.

Mission-aligned with OXMAN’s vision of integrating design, technology, and biology to support positive ecological outcomes
Design-empowered Nature. Nature-empowered Design.
Envision a future of complete synergy between Nature and humanity, where human-made and Nature-grown become indistinguishable. OXMAN is a new kind of company fusing design, technology, and biology to invent multi-scale products and environments—allowing design to empower science and science to empower design. As activist designers, we call for a fundamental shift from human-centric design to Nature-centric design. Categorical delineations between climate change and global pandemics, loss of biodiversity and loss of empathy for one another give way to authoring systems that address manifold challenges. Through this shift, we open ourselves up to moving beyond mere maintenance of Nature toward its radical betterment. https://linktr.ee/oxmanofficial
