Role

Who you are

Eagerness to learn new things and ask all the questions. We are science-driven and expect everyone to get stuck into the climate world
Drive to urgently solve big challenges that have no obvious answers today. We’re doing novel things that no one person knows the answer to today
Bringing good energy and humility into how you show up. It’s a tough problem but we can’t give up

What the job involves

Let companies purchasing carbon removal credits understand and inspect down to a source how, when and if that carbon was truly removed, converted and stored permanently by building a flexible software and hardware platform
Define novel measurement, reporting and verification mechanisms that let the carbon removal industry scale
Build an early engineering team culture that values scientific rigour, pragmatism, learning and teamwork through mentoring your teammates
Correctly process structured and unstructured data in batch or real-time fashion, applying mathematical and machine learning models to it, all the way to making it available via APIs to our data visualisation layer
Design scalable systems that let us move fast today, but are flexible enough to evolve over time – as we learn more about what the world needs from us
Mentor your peers and support the company in achieving the goals
Our engineers are diverse and product-minded with background experience in highly varied environments, from writing the first line of code at Day 0 startups, to building high scale systems at companies like Meta, Deliveroo or Shopify
Our backend is built with strongly typed Python using Strawberry, communicating via an auto-generated GraphQL client with our Next.js, React and Typescript UIs (with Tailwind for CSS), and backed by a Postgres DB. Our production services run in containers on Google Cloud Platform, managed by Terraform
We use Sentry and Datadog for observability
Our monorepo codebase is hosted in Github and we use Graphite for stacking PRs
We collaborate in Slack, Figma, Notion, Airtable, Zoom and Google Workspace
We believe in high quality code reviews and investing in automation or tools that maximize developer productivity

Our take

UK-based Isometric is building critical infrastructure to facilitate the scaling of the carbon removal market which is attempting to reverse climate change, arguably the biggest existential threat to modern civilisation.

The company aims to bring transparency to the carbon dioxide removal industry by building rigorous measurement and verification technology to confirm that carbon removal claims are true.

A company in its early stages, Isometric is also well positioned for future growth when looking at its CEO's track record: Eamon Jubbawy co-founded and scaled a tech company to over $100M of revenue in just a few years. It's also the recipient of one of the largest UK seed raises on record, with $25 million awarded in 2023. Pair that with its impressive client list which includes the likes of Microsoft, Google and JP Morgan, and Isometric is off to a very promising start indeed.
