- Applying your skills, knowledge and experience to develop and maintain our ESG reporting platform
- Collaborating with the members of your squad, breaking problems down into value focused deliverables
- Learning and developing, building depth of knowledge in the technologies that comprise our 3 engineering pillars, Frontend, Backend and DevOps
- Contributing to our guilds, sharing what you’ve learnt and ensuring that knowledge and best practices are socialized throughout the collective
- Coaching and mentoring the more junior team members, helping them to grow by improving their skills and abilities
- Fulfill additional duties as requested
Application process
- An initial screening call where we’ll ask questions about your current and recent roles with a focus on you technical
- A 2-stage technical assessment, starting with a take-home exercise and then a followup with some of our engineers
- A final stage interview with one of our principle engineers and a member of the leadership team
- End-to-end, the process typically takes 3-4 weeks but we’re happy to work around your schedule and move faster or slower if need be

Our take
ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investment has been on a remarkable rise, increasing by over 50% in recent years and pulling in nearly $500B annually. This surge is driven in part by a growing collective pressure to invest in companies that prioritize sustainability and ethical practices.
With this trend accelerating, there's a clear need for better tools to track and analyze ESG data. That's where Novata comes in. The company offers robust solutions that allow investors to monitor and assess the ESG performance of their portfolios, helping them make more informed, responsible investment decisions.
Backing Novata is an impressive list of investors, including the Ford Foundation, Omidyar Network, S&P Global, and Hamilton Lane. The company's first funding round raised a staggering $21M - one of the highest ever for a public benefit corporation. This momentum continued in 2024 when the company attracted new investors and strengthened its financial backing, positioning itself to expand its sustainability solutions and enter expand its geographies while securing its place as a key player in the ESG space.
