Climate Club is a new climatetech company focused on helping organizations inspire climate positive action and outcomes across their teams and team members. Many organizations start their climate journey with ambitious intentions, yet struggle to translate those intentions into action and quantifiable outcomes. Our software platform is purpose-built to help companies engage and activate their employees to participate on their journey. We’ll be coming out of stealth this summer, as we work with some of the most recognizable organizations in the world to help them maximize the impact of their climate actions across their business and are expanding with new partnerships ahead.
The Principal Software Engineer is responsible for leading the technical build out of our initial product with a hyper-focus on innovation and rapid iteration. Climate Club is seeking exceptional engineering talent that is profoundly committed to helping individuals and companies make major shifts to address climate change, who can create and scale high growth SaaS products while helping cultivate a dynamic, remote company culture.
About You
The right person for this role will be a highly internally motivated technical contributor, with strong experience shipping production level code with strong backend competency. It is important that you have an understanding of, and can manage, the end-to-end lifecycle of a development project, from local development and version control, through to both frontend and backend development, AWS setup and management, as well as deployment and maintenance processes. You should have strong opinions about technical architecture but also be able to find compromises to deliver the right value to the business based on the constraints of an early phase start-up. It is also important that you have the ability to prioritize, focus, and communicate to both technical and non-technical audiences. Most of all, you’re interested in using your engineering capabilities to make a foundational contribution to our mission of reversing climate change.

- Enable direct 3rd party integrations with vendor partners
- Participate in building, mentoring and leading other engineers

- Making strong technical recommendations in the early phases of building the product that will minimize the risk to scalability, security and speed of development in the future
