When a climate project cuts emissions, for example by capping a leaking methane well, managing waste or switching households onto cleaner cooking, it earns credits. Each credit has to be checked by an independent auditor, issued, tracked through every transfer, and finally retired when a company claims it against its emissions.Their platform is where all of that happens. Buyers include major tech and financial firms. The focus is methane and other super pollutants, where cutting emissions today has the biggest effect on near term warming.That is the product. The software you write is what makes sure every credit is real and never counted twice.WHY DATA INTEGRITY IS THE WHOLE JOBUnderneath, it is a relational database of projects and credits with workflows on top: submitting data and documents, bringing in third party reviewers, approving issuance, transfers and retirements. Every record has to be accurate and auditable, because each credit carries real money and a real climate claim.Project data is messy. One project might send a minute by minute feed from a methane sensor in the desert, another satellite data tracking tree growth. Better tools for taking in and analysing that data are next on the roadmap.There is a blockchain under the surface, but it is not a big part of this role. If you have worked on payments, fintech or anything where every transaction has to reconcile, you will feel at home.THE ROLEFirst full time in house engineer, working with the Technical Product Manager and a part time backend engineer, with a fractional CTO on hand for the big architecture calls. You will own the platform across the stack and become the go to technical voice in a team of carbon market specialists.This is not a ticket queue. They want someone who takes a requirement, asks the right questions, then builds, tests and ships it.
