Our software platform is purpose-built to enable companies to engage and activate their employees to accelerate Net Zero targets and drive real business value. We work with some of the most recognizable organizations in the world to help them maximize the impact of their climate actions across their business, and are creating a new, exciting category at the intersection of enterprise software and climate tech.

The Senior Software Engineer is responsible for the technical build out of our product with a hyper-focus on customer value, innovation and rapid iteration. Climate Club is seeking exceptional engineering talent that is profoundly committed to helping individuals and companies make major shifts to address climate change, who can create and scale high growth SaaS products while helping cultivate a dynamic, remote company culture.

About You

The right person for this role will be a highly internally motivated technical contributor, with strong experience shipping production level code with strong backend competency. It is important that you have an understanding of, and can manage, the end-to-end lifecycle of a development project, from local development and version control, through to both frontend and backend development, AWS setup and management, as well as deployment and maintenance processes. You should have strong opinions about technical architecture but also be able to find compromises to deliver the right value to the business based on the constraints of an early phase start-up. It is also important that you have the ability to prioritize, focus, and communicate to both technical and non-technical audiences. Most of all, you’re interested in using your engineering capabilities to make a foundational contribution to our mission of reversing climate change.

Responsibilities

Building out our user-facing applications, as well as administrative dashboards and B2B interfaces for our Pilot product. Your main projects will include:

• Create technical system designs for a scalable backend infrastructure and frontend that can support larger enterprise usage
• Drive the implementation of features from inception to end user value delivery
• Partner with 3rd parties to complete integrations
• Collaborate closely with all key stakeholders to ensure optimal user experience and successful adoption
• Making strong technical recommendations in the early phases of building the product that will minimize the risk to scalability, security and speed of development in the future
• Compile and review estimates around for technical aspects of a solution
• Ensure all aspects of good design and construction are delivered
• Work on backend nodejs APIs, react web UIs, and docker-based infrastructure
• Manage AWS infrastructure including but not limited to databases, servers and serverless functions
• Participate in database schema design changes

The right candidate will feel comfortable suggesting the right technology stack for our required use cases, and you are encouraged to speak up where you see opportunities for further iteration.
