Job description

Sylvera provides trusted ratings, tools, and data for carbon credits and CDR. Our mission is to incentivize investment in real climate action.

Purchasing carbon credits and CDR through the carbon markets is one of the most established and scalable ways to channel finance to effective climate solutions and work toward societal net zero. Unfortunately, the carbon markets were plagued with mistrust and a lack of effectiveness since they’ve emerged – until Sylvera.

To help organizations ensure they're making the most effective investments, Sylvera offers trusted ratings, tools, and data for carbon credits and CDR. Our data and software independently and accurately validate the impact of carbon projects that capture, remove, or avoid emissions, whether they are up and running or in development. Our data and tools allow users to optimize both the climate and economic performance of projects, as well as understand the past and future of the market. With Sylvera, businesses, governments, and developers can confidently invest in, benchmark, deliver, and report real climate impact.

Our team comprises leading minds in climate change, including scientists, policy experts, finance specialists, and carbon market professionals. We collaborate with scientific organizations, universities, governments, and think tanks to develop and implement rigorous, holistic project assessment methodologies, leveraging the latest technology. We also partner with actors and institutions across the entire market to enhance data quality, standardization, and accessibility. Founded in 2020, Sylvera has over 130 employees globally, with offices in London, New York, Belgrade, and Singapore. We’ve raised over $96 million from leading investors such as Fidelity, Balderton Capital, Index Ventures, and Insight Partners.

We’re seeking a Remote Sensing Scientist to join our Earth Analytics team. You will bring scientific credibility, technical fluency, and a customer-focused mindset to accelerate our geospatial product development. Your work will focus on rapid prototyping and feature development based on customer requests, ensuring our earth observation and remote sensing outputs meet both commercial expectations and scientific standards.

We value highly ambitious, motivated individuals eager to advance their careers. We prioritize grit, positivity, and a proactive attitude, and encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't exactly match this job description.

• Equity in a rapidly growing startup
• Private Health Insurance and Life Assurance
• Unlimited annual leave
• Enhanced parental leave
• Access to Mental Health support via Spill
• Office bar tab once a month

Location: London, Old Street. We support hybrid working but require in-person attendance for all 1-2-1 meetings, retrospectives, and divisional meetings.
