What the job involves
- We’re looking for a compassionate and experienced leader in data to lead our Engineering team
- As a Principle Frontend Engineer at Plan A, your main responsibilities will be to provide leadership, guidance and mentorship, as well as oversight over the development of our carbon emissions accounting product. We are looking for someone to:
- Provide a technical authority in the area of speciality (eg. trusted to take the final call on any technical or architectural decisions)
- Promote technical excellence in the function, eg. through chapter sessions, documentation, setting up automations (eg. with Github Actions)
- Initiate projects, initiatives, and processes to improve the technical foundation and way of working in the function (ensuring security, scalability, performance)
- Provide technical mentoring and consulting in area of frontend expertise where required
Our take
The EU’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation means that 75% of European companies across the EU and U.K. will be reporting their environmental footprint in 2023. That represents a massive opportunity for startups like Plan A that deliver B2B monitoring services of companies’ sustainability indicators.
The startup is hoping to distinguish itself in a market that is now saturated with services, some of which offer little practical benefit. Plan A's B Corporation certification demonstrates that its tools comply with the strictest reporting standards and reflect the latest developments in climate science.
The company is planning to furnish its product to become best in class, focusing on decarbonisation tooling and the tricky Scope 3 calculations for various industries. While decarbonisation via offsetting can be a lucrative area, Plan A must be careful not to encourage compensation measures for avoidable emissions as this could delegitimise its ESG reporting system and undercut the benefits of using its platform.
