Job Description

Isometric is the world's most trusted carbon registry . We help Fortune 100 companies tackle climate change and avoid greenwashing.

Using our best-in-class verification technology, we issue scientifically rigorous carbon credits-the currency for the $1 trillion carbon economy.

We're looking for doers with a bias to action. Our team is brilliant and cares (a lot).

Join us for the most impactful role of your career-and the best job you've ever had.

Things you'll do in this role:
  • Work in a squad of 3-4 engineers within a trusting, supportive environment. Take ownership and accountability for getting stuff done. Follow through on tech decisions, we don't do half-migrations.

  • Collaborate with Product and our expert team of Carbon Removal Scientists to deliver high-quality, well-tested code at pace. Build without silos, launch features, build infrastructure and care about our customers.

  • Impact a new industry of critical importance. Gain external exposure, working directly with companies removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Things we're looking for:
  • Experience in backend software development. A STEM background is advantageous. We're happy to work with people with experience in all, any or none of the tools and technologies in our stack .

  • A collaborative mindset, preferring open communication and teamwork to get stuff done. Our engineers are product-minded and come with diverse backgrounds-from writing the first line of code at day 0 start-ups, to building high scale systems at companies like Meta, Amazon or Shopify.

  • An eagerness and curiosity to learn new things and ask questions. We are science-driven and expect everyone to get stuck into the climate world.

This role isn't for you if:
  • You want a remote job. We value in-person collaboration and spend three days a week in the office.

  • You prefer staying within your area of expertise and operating in structured environments. We navigate ambiguity at extreme pace and everyone is a generalist.

  • You're looking for a short term gig. We're building for the long term and looking for people ready to grow with us for 5-10 years.
