This *ridiculously* cool climate-tech company is at the start-up/scale-up inflection point.
Theyre moving past the days where problems were solved with unstructured grit, where intuition and random brilliance were the order of the day. Theyre now looking for sanity and scalability, and youll play a leading role in this transformation.
Their team develops a unique product that helps organisations proactively monitor and manage one of the major (and up until now, less-addressed) effects of climate change. It isa devastating problem that is wreaking havoc across the world, but with the products youll be developing youll directly be contributing to a safer and more stable world.
With a new round of investment and new customers signing up for their groundbreaking product, they are on the cusp of a major recruitment drive, but none of their roles are more important than this Chief Software Engineer role.
Currently, they have a talented team of software engineers with a front-end bias, and little in the way of deep Python software development experience. With these roles, they want to help balance this, by hiring a super-capable Chief Software Engineer with expert-level proficiency in full-stack, cloud-driven (GCP, Azure or AWS) development in React, Angular or Typescript along with Python/FastAPI (this is vital).
You must also have a genuine interest in the sustainability movement and working for a company that is mission-driven as youll be working with super-passionate people who care deeply about our planet.
Youll have no formal line management responsibilities in this role but will lead/coach the team and drive the adoption of industry-leading technology and standards across the engineering team. Youll be a flexible and sensitive technical leader, able to win over colleagues who are working through this cultural and technical transition using your excellent relationship-building, leadership and collaboration skills.
The role will be remote based with occasional travel into London and/or Amsterdam, and you can be based anywhere in the US, mainland Europe or on the East Coast of the US (but able to be flexible to GMT/CET working patterns).
On offer is a salary of up to £150k with generous benefits + equity.
