Frontend Engineer

About Us

Isometric is the world’s most trusted carbon registry. We issue high quality carbon removal credits to prevent greenwashing. Our mission is to avert climate disaster by growing the carbon removal industry responsibly and fast.

Outcomes you’ll be responsible for

• Let companies purchasing carbon removal credits understand and inspect down to a source how, when and if that carbon was truly removed, converted and stored permanently by building a flexible software and hardware platform.
• Define novel measurement, reporting and verification mechanisms that let the carbon removal industry scale.
• Build an early engineering team culture that values scientific rigour, pragmatism, learning and teamwork through mentoring your teammates.

Tasks you might do

• Collaborate with science, data, product and design teams to build software that processes complex data to deliver clear answers.
• Build software that takes complex carbon removal processes, calculations and measurements and turn them into simple UI that puts this data in context and helps even those new to climate change topics understand the quality of carbon offsets.
• Design scalable systems that let us move fast today, but are flexible enough to evolve over time – as we learn more about what the world needs from us.

Aptitudes you’ll display

• Eagerness to learn new things and ask all the questions. We are science-driven and expect everyone to get stuck into the climate world.
• Drive to urgently solve big challenges that have no obvious answers today. We’re doing novel things that no one person knows the answer to today.
• Bringing good energy and humility into how you show up. It’s a tough problem but we can’t give up.

How we build

Our engineers are diverse and product-minded with background experience in highly varied environments, from writing the first line of code at Day 0 startups, to building high scale systems at companies like Meta, Deliveroo or Shopify.

Our backend is built with strongly typed Python using Strawberry, communicating via an auto-generated GraphQL client with our Next.js, React and Typescript UIs (with Tailwind for CSS), and backed by a Postgres DB. Our production services run in containers on Google Cloud Platform, managed by Terraform. We use Sentry and Datadog for observability. Our monorepo codebase is hosted in Github and we use Graphite for stacking PRs.

We collaborate in Slack, Figma, Notion, Airtable, Zoom and Google Workspace. We believe in high quality code reviews and investing in automation or tools that maximize developer productivity.

We’re happy to work with humans with experience in all, any or none of these tools and technologies.
