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
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.
A Senior Engineer on this team owns 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
Own features end-to-end: drive discovery conversations with manufacturers, ship tools that help them assess their environmental performance, and iterate based on direct user feedback
Lead the expansion of our LCA and EPD generation to new product categories and regional markets: identify the gaps, sequence the work, and bring it to production
Work directly with our LCA experts to turn complex environmental standards into clean software abstractions.
