Job description

About Us

Isometric is the world’s most trusted carbon registry. We issue scientifically rigorous carbon credits to help Fortune 100 companies avoid greenwashing while tackling climate change.

Our customers include Google, Meta, J.P. Morgan, McKinsey and Microsoft.

We're growing quickly, but we’re intentional about hiring people who contribute to our unique culture. Our team is smart, meticulous and courageous—but warm, kind and supportive too.

We’re looking for doers with a bias to action. If you want to join a company that gets important stuff done quickly, with no drama—then let us know.

Tackling climate change at Isometric is a career-defining role.

Working here will be unlike any job you've had before.

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:

• 8 or more years of frontend software development. A STEM background is advantageous. Our frontend is built with Typescript and React, leverages GraphQL APIs and runs on Vercel. 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 collaboration and physical time together. We’re in the office three days per week.

• You want to stay within your area of expertise and you prefer structured environments. We’re a small team moving at extreme pace in an environment with plenty of ambiguity. We’re building and learning on the fly—and everyone’s a generalist.

• You’re looking for a short term gig. Everything at Isometric is designed for the long term: our business model, our compensation/reward system and our decision-making processes. You should only apply if you’re looking to make a move that will last 5-10 years.
