Company mission
To provide financial markets with actionable insights, ESG data and benchmarks.
Role
Who you are
- A track record of building and running data pipelines and services in production, seeing them through end-to-end, and iterating on your approach as lessons emerge
- Strong Python and SQL, with enough data analysis skill to interrogate a dataset and answer a question with it
- Hands-on experience running systems in a cloud environment: infrastructure as code, containers, and continuous deployment
- A solid grounding in data modelling and warehouse design
- The ability to take an ambiguous problem from diagnosis through to something shipped
- Comfort with context-heavy work. Our standards and methodology are intricate, and doing this job well means carrying a lot of domain detail
- A habit of turning agentic tools into workflows the rest of the team adopts, with the judgement to catch what they get wrong
- If your experience doesn't map exactly onto this list but covers similar ground, apply anyway
- You solve it at the system level. You can tell a recurring bug apart from the design that keeps producing it, and you bring the design forward with the impact and a proposal
- You lift the people around you. You mentor others through complex work, review carefully, and turn what you learn into patterns the team keeps using. You expect the same scrutiny of your own work
- Experience in sustainability, real estate, or financial services is a plus
What the job involves
- You will join our data team, working closely with the Product team.
- The work is currently split between keeping the annual benchmark running and building the platform that replaces it with something continuous, so you would touch both legacy and greenfield
- Build and maintain data pipelines and service that support our yearly evolving standards and methodology, and re-architect or decommission the ones that do not
- Shape the data models and schemas beneath our products, and the serving layers that expose them to reporting and analytics
- Own data quality and reliability through validation, automated testing and production monitoring, to ensure issues are caught as early as possible, never first by the people consuming the data
- Make our data discoverable and documented, including definitions, lineage and pipeline logic, so the teams and systems that consume it can self-serve
- Guide architecture decisions in the areas you own: frame the options and the trade-offs, and bring them to a decision the team commits to. Help raise engineering standards through design and code review
- Our stack: Python (pandas, polars and fastapi), Parquet on S3 with Athena, Postgres, kubernetes, Terraform, ArgoCD and GitHub Actions. Around it sit a Rails portal, Java application services, and LLM validation on Bedrock
Our take
The international community has set a target for net zero emissions by 2050, but to make that happen, businesses need reliable data on environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics. GRESB was founded in 2009 to provide ESG data on business assets based on self-reported data and has since become regarded as the gold standard for investment managers to assess their ESG performance.
GRESB is the only ESG framework specifically designed for real estate, and it has earned widespread adoption within the industry. The platform now covers over $8T in assets - more than double the amount reported in 2019 - solidifying its reputation as an essential tool for investment managers. This growth reflects the growing emphasis on sustainability in real estate investment and the increasing demand for transparent, reliable ESG data.
The company continues to evolve its ESG model to better serve its users. Recent moves include the acquisition of companies like Asset Resolution, which develops tools for acquiring data from hard-to-measure sectors. Alongside this, the company has substantial funding which will help it further enhance its offerings and play a critical role in the transition to a sustainable, net-zero economy.
