Who we are
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 a well-funded post-Series-A startup backed by top-tier Silicon Valley investors who share our mission, including True Ventures, Outsized Ventures, Lightbird Capital, ArcTern, Social Impact Capital and Xplorer Capital. To develop industry-shifting products we work with pioneers like Marc Engel, Ex Chief Supply Chain Officer of Unilever, Lynelle Cameron, ex Chief Sustainability Officer of Autodesk and Rob Bernard, Chief Sustainability Officer of CBRE.

Your mission
We’re looking for a Software Engineer to join our Engineering team at Emitwise. You’ll be joining a team of developers to 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’ll be happy working at a variety of 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.
The impact you'll have
* Enabling our customers and their suppliers to painlessly provide us with data about their carbon emitting activities
* Creating beautiful and cutting edge software which is enabling the companies who are making the fastest progress on actually meeting their net-zero targets through supplier engagement
* Creating unique user flows which enable companies to build and implement business cases for emissions reductions
* Expanding our database of primary company data, enabling Emitwise to offer companies the most detailed and expansive understanding of their supply chain on the market.
What you'll need

* Experience with some of the specific technologies we use in our stack, including: React and Typescript, Go and Python, RabbitMQ, Postgres and Elasticsearch, Kubernetes and AWS
* Expertise in either devops/infrastructure work or frontend development

* Pension matching to 5% (on qualified earnings)
* Comprehensive health insurance policy provided by Aviva

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!
