Our mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to net zero carbon, but we need to move quickly. Emitwise wants to ensure that every organisation across the world, big or small, is able to embark on a sustainability journey that culminates in net zero. The planet deserves more than just another tech company, and if you do too, then keep reading.

At Emitwise, we've built a team that has the skillset and desire to bring automated carbon accounting to life — saving businesses time, money, and emissions. We have built a platform which makes it significantly easier and faster for companies to calculate, track, and reduce their carbon emissions. This allows them to reduce costs, future-proof their business, and become sustainability leaders. Ultimately, we're a group of people disenchanted with business as usual and looking to make a real impact through creative innovation.

We’re backed by top-tier Silicon Valley investors who share our mission, including True Ventures, and ex-Uber CEO Ryan Graves, we are a well-funded Series A stage start-up. Read more about us in publications like Forbes, Business Insider, and Fast Company.

Your mission

We’re looking for a Software Engineer to join our Engineering team at Emitwise and help us deliver new versions of our core product. We’re a small team, with a lot of ground to cover, so while we value expertise in particular areas, you should be happy working at different levels in the stack. This might include creating a responsive, beautiful UX, writing performant backend web services, implementing data pipelines, or setting up infrastructure in the cloud. You don’t need to be an expert in any of these - the desire and ability to learn is more important than experience with any particular technology.

The impact you'll have

Enabling our customers and their suppliers to painlessly provide us with data about their carbon emitting activities
Improving how we automatically determine carbon emissions from that data
Productionising research-grade emission classification models
Increasing the robustness and traceability of our end-to-end data flow
Extending our customer facing application to help customers easily analyse and reduce their carbon footprint

What you'll need

At least 2 years of professional experience as a software engineer
A degree of comfort working on both the back- and front-end of a modern web application.
Competence in a general purpose programming language. We mostly use Go and Typescript with a fair bit of Python, but significant experience with other languages plus an eagerness to learn is more than acceptable!
The ability to be flexible, adaptable, and thrive in a rapidly changing environment
Passion for our mission

What's nice to have

Experience with some of the specific technologies we use in our stack, including: React and Typescript, Go and Python, Postgres and Elasticsearch, Kubernetes and AWS
Expertise in either devops/infrastructure work or frontend development
Time spent working in an early stage startup environment. If this was on a B2B SaaS product, all the better

£50,000 - £70,000 a year

What are you waiting for?

If this sounds like a team you'd like to join, a mission you'd like to be part of and a role you'd thrive in, then apply now! And if you’re not sure whether you’re what we’re looking for - send us your CV anyway! We love to hear from people who are passionate about what we do, and we always take the view that a good cultural fit (and mission alignment) is much more important than ticking all the “qualifications, skills and experience” boxes. Whatever skills you bring to the table and whatever background you're coming from, we welcome you to start a conversation with us. The time to act is now.

We also believe that diversity is the cornerstone of innovation. We embrace uniqueness and continually strive for equity for all. Ultimately, our team powers Emitwise. We want all our employees to feel valued and appreciated for who they are, where they come from, and what they've achieved. Our employee policy is designed to prevent discrimination regardless of gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, age, neurodiversity, disability status, citizenship, or any other aspect which makes them unique.

All that said, it’s also important to mention that we are currently only able to accept applications from candidates who have the right to work in the UK, and we like to deal directly with our candidates so no agencies please!
