👷🏻‍♀️ What we do 👷🏻‍♀️

At Emidat, we are building the first climate-native product management system for building material manufacturers. We aim to decarbonise building materials, making up 11% of global GHG emissions. We collect data from physical production processes, generate a digital product passport with verified environmental data and make it usable along the value chain. In short: One solution to assess, design, buy, sell and manage products - with environmental impact at the core.

With this, we are building the digital infrastructure to make it faster, easier, and more sustainable to build the world around us.

What you will work on

Your mission

Turn Emidat's verified environmental data into applications that make producing sustainable materials a business value. That means discovering and building the most customer demanded applications, working closely with our product team.

First projects will include improving our Emidat Atlas, enabling competitive insights in the platform and helping our customers leverage their data as a business value, building critical applications such as Emidat's DPP offering. This is Emidat's most explorative team, and the expectation is that the applications you build will seed entirely new product lines.

As a Senior Engineer on this team, you own the full product loop. You don't implement specs handed to you; you're in discovery conversations, forming hypotheses, shipping, and measuring. High autonomy, high accountability.

In the first 6 months, you will

• Own core parts of the digital product passport platform: design, build, and ship the features that let manufacturers generate, manage, and share certified product data that unlocks real market access

• Get in front of users: participate in discovery with commercial and sales teams, develop your own understanding of what makes environmental data useful in a sales context, and translate that into product

• Contribute to finding what drives recurring value: instrument features, analyze usage, talk to users, and bring that signal back into how the team prioritizes

• Improve how we build: invest in tooling, processes, and abstractions that multiply the team's output

• Take full ownership over complex, ambiguous projects: define requirements, navigate trade-offs, and drive delivery

• Identify problems others don't see, and turn them into actionable proposals

Our Tech Stack:

• Languages: Python, TypeScript

• Backend: FastAPI, gRPC

• Frontend: React

• Databases: PostgreSQL, Redis

• Infrastructure & DevOps: Kubernetes, OpenTofu, OTel, AWS, Azure

• CI/CD & Automation: GitHub Actions, Docker, FluxCD

• Product Delivery: Linear

What you should bring to this role

Minimum requirements

• 5+ years of professional Software Engineering experience, with strong proficiency in one or more high-level programming languages (e.g., Python, TypeScript, Go, or Rust)

• Experience driving new product initiatives for a B2B Software platform, building & bringing additional value for users, showing strong product empathy and driving architectural and feature decisions based on product outcomes

• Experienced working in a high-paced environment (i.e., <200 people start-up, <Series C etc.) with demonstrated ability to ship features in a production codebase

• Demonstrated ability to take a feature from initial discovery and conceptualisation through development, deployment, and iterations with users

• Experienced in leveraging AI tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate product development

• Business-Fluent English (written and verbal) for internal and external communication.

• Experience translating high-level business problems or incomplete specifications into actionable development plans
  

Nice to haves

• Domain knowledge or professional exposure to adjacent sectors, such as Climate/Sustainability, Construction Tech, or Manufacturing

• Hands-on familiarity with modern cloud infrastructure practices, including Infrastructure as Code (e.g., OpenTofu), container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes), and defining automated deployment pipelines
