Company mission
Isometric's mission is to avert climate disaster by ensuring the transition to carbon removal happens responsibly and fast.
Role
Who you are
- 5 or more years of software development. A STEM background is advantageous. We’re happy to work with people with experience in all, any or none of the tools and technologies in our stack
- A collaborative mindset, preferring open communication and teamwork to get stuff done. Our engineers are product-minded and come with diverse backgrounds—from writing the first line of code at day 0 start-ups, to building high scale systems at companies like Meta, Amazon or Shopify
- An eagerness and curiosity to learn new things and ask questions. We are science-driven and expect everyone to get stuck into the climate world
What the job involves
- Work in a squad of 3-4 engineers within a trusting, supportive environment. Take ownership and accountability for getting stuff done. Follow through on tech decisions, we don’t do half-migrations
- Collaborate with Product and our expert team of Carbon Removal Scientists to deliver high-quality, well-tested code at pace. Build without silos, launch features, build infrastructure and care about our customers
- Impact a new industry of critical importance. Gain external exposure, working directly with companies removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
Salary benchmarks
Our take
UK-based Isometric is building a 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 very green 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.

Company values
- The world can’t wait: Reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere is critical. The world can’t wait for the product we’re building. We have to move fast. Tackling such a momentous challenge isn’t easy. So our team exudes good energy. We’re persistent and resilient. We always ask ‘how can it be done?’ over ‘can it be done?’. For us, optimism is self-fulfilling.
- Rigor: We prize rigor. We have relentlessly high standards for ourselves. We work whole-heartedly and single-mindedly. Problem solving at Isometric follows the scientific method. Before jumping into any task, we first define the intended result. We gather and analyze available data, uncover bad assumptions, make hypotheses about how the outcome might be achieved—then run experiments to complete the loop. All our actions are grounded in first principles thinking and emotional control.
- Good words: The best communicators usually win. So we’re intentional about our writing. We work to keep it clear, engaging and thorough. We’re also disciplined about tooling, information architecture and documentation. All three are superpowers when executed well. We think that frank communication leads to better decision making. We trust each other to be direct and give a lot of context—and we expect a high level of integrity as a result.
