Software Engineer, Climate Intelligence
👷🏻♀️ 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.

What you will work on
Your mission
Build the world's leading software for environmental impact assessment in manufacturing. You'll help building material manufacturers understand their environmental footprint — 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.
In the first 6 months, you will
Ship features that matter to customers. Help manufacturers assess their environmental performance — owning features end-to-end, from discovery conversations to iterating on feedback.
Expand our LCA (Lifecycle Assessments) and EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) generation to more product categories and regional markets.
Work closely with our LCA experts to translate complex environmental standards into clean software abstractions.
