Senior Software Engineer, Environmental Application

👷🏻‍♀️ 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 the environmental footprint of their products and create verified Environment Product Declarations.

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

• Expand our LCA calculation and EPD generation to more product categories and regional markets.

• Work closely with our LCA experts to translate environmental science and ISO/EN standards into clean software abstractions.

• Take full ownership over complex, ambiguous projects: define requirements, navigate trade-offs, and drive delivery.

• Coach and mentor other engineers in the team on system architecture.

• Improve how we build: invest in tooling, processes, and abstractions that multiply the team's output.

• 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

WHAT YOU SHOULD BRING TO THIS ROLE

Minimum requirements

• Proven track record of owning and driving impactful product initiatives end-to-end as a senior/staff individual contributor.

• Demonstrated senior-level experience leading system design and architecture decisions, including infrastructure design, technical planning, and cross-team architectural ownership.

• Expertise in high level programming languages like Python (preferred), Typescript, Java, Rust or Go.

• Proven track record of building and owning software in a complex domain (such as Finance, Healthcare, or other highly regulated industries).

• Thrives in a fast-moving environment where priorities and direction can shift quickly, and is ready to pivot when the data points a new way.

• Experienced in leveraging AI to accelerate product development (such as Cursor or Claude code).

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

Nice to haves

• Domain knowledge or professional exposure to adjacent sectors, such as Climate/Sustainability, Construction Tech, or Manufacturing.
