Company mission

To empower companies to address the issues of climate change

Role

Who you are

  • Highly proficient in CSS3, HTML5, and TypeScript
  • Strong experience with component-based web frameworks such as React or Vue.js
  • Experience with testing frameworks such as Jest
  • You’ve worked in an agile development environment
  • You place high importance on scalability, performance, accessibility, and maintainability of the product
  • Knowledge of accessibility standards (e.g. WCAG 2.0) and best practices to create inclusive web applications
  • Strong communication skills to collaborate with cross-functional teams and articulate technical ideas to non-technical stakeholders
  • Excellent written and verbal English

Desirable

  • Experience with micro-frontend architecture such as single-spa
  • Experience with libraries such as TanStack, RTK, or Recharts

What the job involves

  • We're looking for a Frontend Engineer to help us build and improve our carbon emissions accounting product. If our mission is aligned with your values and personal goals, we want to get to know you!
  • You help improve Plan A's frontend architecture, improving interactions and user experience on the carbon accounting platform
  • Create flexible, maintainable, and reusable features that help users along their decarbonisation journey
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including frontend, backend, data, design, and product, to make pragmatic decisions and contribute to technology and architecture decisions
  • Promote best practices and methodologies within the development team
  • Foster a healthy and collaborative development environment through transparent feedback and communication

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.
