Role
Who you are
- Right to work in the US and willingness to come to the NYC office 2+ days a week
- 4+ years of relevant work experience
- A passion for environmental issues
- A demonstrated interest in building products and collaborating tightly with engineers
- The grit and energy to work in an early stage startup
What the job involves
- Data processing with the standard scientific stack (Pandas, Numpy, Scipy) and beyond
- Machine learning in Sklearn and (rarely) Pytorch
- Data visualization with Plotly, Maptlotlib, and Altair
- Containerised applications are the key to our technology vision allowing us to replicate production environments locally and scale services at will
- Object-oriented code forms the bulk of our codebase
- PostgreSQL and DynamoDB managed databases form the persistence layer - you’ll learn to navigate document and relational databases and appreciate the values in both worlds
- Infrastructure automation is owned by the whole team, helping to spread the DevOps mentality across the whole technology department (and beyond)
- Testing approaches from unit testing to integration testing are key to delivering reliable and maintainable solutions
- Quality assurance is owned by the team themselves - we believe that full cycle product ownership should sit tightly within the team
- Agile development, using various approaches from Scrum to Elephant Carpaccio, helps us deliver software in small iterations, learning and course-correcting in the process to make sure we deliver the right improvements
- GitHub PRs are an integral part of our core development flow - with reviews to help share knowledge and improve quality
- Continuous delivery is the approach we strive for - with metrics that help us optimise parts of the pipeline that need it the most
- Teamwork and collaboration are fundamental to the delivery of our solutions. We encourage solutionizing between the team and the wider business
Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
A global effort is invested in mitigating global climate change, with an increasing number of countries starting to impose fines for companies that fail to reduce their carbon emissions. One of the main issues faced by these companies is the lack of technology available able to track emissions and monitor progress after adopting solutions to diminish climate impact. CarbonChain aims to solve this problem by offering a service that provides accurate accounting for a company’s carbon footprint.
The company differentiates itself through the fact that it aims to help companies from the world's most polluting industries - oil & gas, mining, metals, minerals, and agriculture - which account for 50% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The innovation of CarbonChain comes from the fact that the company has created digital twins of every piece of equipment used in the aforementioned industries; if it cannot find information about the equipment used by a company, it is able to find answers by contacting the producer of that equipment directly.
Founded by ex-employees of gas, mining and oil industries, CarbonChain is led by an expert team. Having established its current services, future phases include features that will allow customers to access their ratings based on industry benchmarks and reported data. The company will also take into consideration customers' future carbon plans to ascertain a more comprehensive picture.
