Senior Software Engineer, Frontend

👷🏻‍♀️ WHAT WE DO 👷🏻‍♀️

At Emidat, we are building the first climate-native product management system for building material manufacturers. We aim to decarbonise building materials, making up 11% of global GHG emissions. We collect data from physical production processes, generate a digital product passport with verified environmental data and make it usable along the value chain. In short: One solution to assess, design, buy, sell and manage products - with environmental impact at the core.

With this, we are building the digital infrastructure to make it faster, easier, and more sustainable to build the world around us.

Your mission

You will be our first full-time frontend-focussed engineer and take ownership of the entire frontend codebase and architecture.

• Build prototypes and new applications from zero to one that unlock new value for our customers.

• Specifically, help ship a platform for Digital Product Passports that doesn’t just comply with regulation but is a joy to use.

• Coach and mentor other engineers in the team on system architecture.

• Improve how we build: invest in tooling, processes, and abstractions that multiply the team's output

• Identify problems others don't see, and turn them into actionable proposals.
