Isometric is the world’s most trusted carbon registry. We help Fortune 100 companies tackle climate change and avoid greenwashing.

Using our best-in-class verification technology, we issue scientifically rigorous carbon credits—the currency for the $1 trillion carbon economy.

We’re looking for doers with a bias to action. Our team is brilliant and cares (a lot).

Join us for the most impactful role of your career—and the best job you’ve ever had.

Things you’ll do in this role:

  • 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.

Things we’re looking for:

  • Experience in backend 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.

This role isn’t for you if:

  • You want a remote job. We value in-person collaboration and spend three days a week in the office.

  • You prefer staying within your area of expertise and operating in structured environments. We navigate ambiguity at extreme pace and everyone is a generalist.

  • You’re looking for a short term gig. We’re building for the long term and looking for people ready to grow with us for 5-10 years.
