Senior Software Engineer, Climate Intelligence

👷🏻‍♀️ What We Do 👷🏻‍♀️

At Emidat, we are building the first climate-native product management system for building material manufacturers. We aim to decarbonise building materials, making up 11% of global GHG emissions. We collect data from physical production processes, generate a digital product passport with verified environmental data and make it usable along the value chain. In short: One solution to assess, design, buy, sell and manage products - with environmental impact at the core.

With this, we are building the digital infrastructure to make it faster, easier, and more sustainable to build the world around us.

What You Will Work On

Your mission

Build the world's leading software for environmental impact assessment in manufacturing. You'll help building material manufacturers understand their environmental footprint by turning production data into Lifecycle Assessments across dozens of product categories. And into Environmental Product Declarations ready for publication across multiple countries and standards. Every calculation must be traceable and auditable. This means translating environmental science and ISO/EN standards into maintainable software systems. It's real climate impact, shipping fast, with interesting technical challenges at every turn.

As a Senior Engineer on this team, you own the full product loop. You don't implement specs handed to you. You're in discovery conversations, forming hypotheses, shipping, and measuring. High autonomy, high accountability.

In the first 6 months, you will

• Ship and own features that help manufacturers assess and understand their environmental performance, from initial discovery to iterating on feedback
• Expand our LCA calculation and EPD generation to more product categories and regional markets
• Work closely with our LCA experts to translate environmental standards into clean software abstractions
• Improve how we build: invest in tooling, processes, and abstractions that multiply the team's output
• Take full ownership over complex, ambiguous projects: define requirements, navigate trade-offs, and drive delivery
• Identify problems others don't see, and turn them into actionable proposals

Our Tech Stack:

• Languages: Python, TypeScript
• Backend: FastAPI, gRPC
• Frontend: React
• Databases: PostgreSQL, Redis
• Infrastructure & DevOps: Kubernetes, OpenTofu, OTel, AWS, Azure
• CI/CD & Automation: GitHub Actions, Docker, FluxCD
• Product Delivery: Linear

Minimum Requirements

What you should bring to this role

5+ years of professional Software Engineering experience, with strong proficiency in one or more high-level programming languages (e.g., Python, TypeScript, Go, or Rust)

Demonstrated experience working in an analytical capacity, or education in a related field (Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics etc.) that allows you to approach unfamiliar domains with a structured approach, and communicate complex technical ideas clearly and concisely

Experienced working in a high-paced environment (i.e., Demonstrated ability to take a feature from initial discovery and conceptualisation through development, deployment, and iterations with users

Experienced in leveraging AI tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate product development

Business-Fluent English (written and verbal) for internal and external communication

Nice to haves

• Experience building software around complex domain specifications (e.g., financial regulation, medical standards)
• Domain knowledge or professional exposure to adjacent sectors, such as Climate/Sustainability, Construction Tech, or Manufacturing
• Hands-on familiarity with modern cloud infrastructure practices, including Infrastructure as Code (e.g., OpenTofu), container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes), and defining automated deployment pipelines
