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.

What you will work onYour mission
Build the world's leading software for environmental impact assessment in manufacturing. You'll help building material manufacturers understand their environmental footprint by turning production data into Lifecycle Assessments across dozens of product categories. And into Environmental Product Declarations ready for publication across multiple countries and standards. Every calculation must be traceable and auditable. This means translating environmental science and ISO/EN standards into maintainable software systems. It's real climate impact, shipping fast, with interesting technical challenges at every turn.
As a Senior Engineer on this team, you own the full product loop. You don't implement specs handed to you. You're in discovery conversations, forming hypotheses, shipping, and measuring. High autonomy, high accountability.
In the first 6 months, you will
Ship and own features that help manufacturers assess and understand their environmental performance, from initial discovery to iterating on feedback
Expand our LCA calculation and EPD generation to more product categories and regional markets
Work closely with our LCA experts to translate environmental standards into clean software abstractions
Improve how we build: invest in tooling, processes, and abstractions that multiply the team's output
Take full ownership over complex, ambiguous projects: define requirements, navigate trade-offs, and drive delivery
Identify problems others don't see, and turn them into actionable proposals
Languages: Python, TypeScript
Backend: FastAPI, gRPC
Frontend: React
Databases: PostgreSQL, Redis
Infrastructure & DevOps: Kubernetes, OpenTofu, OTel, AWS, Azure

Minimum requirements
8+ years of professional Software Engineering / Architect experience. Expertise in Python.
Demonstrated experience working in an analytical capacity, or education in a related field (Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics etc.) that allows you to approach unfamiliar domains with a structured approach, and communicate complex technical ideas clearly and concisely
Experienced working in a high-paced environment (i.e., <200 people start-up,
Demonstrated ability to take a feature from initial discovery and conceptualisation through development, deployment, and iterations with users
Experienced in leveraging AI tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate product development
Business-Fluent English (written and verbal) for internal and external communication
Nice to haves
Experience building software around complex domain specifications (e.g., financial regulation, medical standards)
Domain knowledge or professional exposure to adjacent sectors, such as Climate/Sustainability, Construction Tech, or Manufacturing
Hands-on familiarity with modern cloud infrastructure practices, including Infrastructure as Code (e.g., OpenTofu), container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes), and defining automated deployment pipelines

What We Do
Emidat is a Munich-based climate-native product-management platform that helps building-material manufacturers generate, verify and manage environmental product data (LCAs, EPDs, DPPs) using AI and a large EPD database. The platform automates data collection and certification workflows, shortens reporting timeframes, supports regulatory readiness, and turns verified sustainability data into commercial advantage across the construction value chain.
