Software Engineer

Mid-Career | Full Time

AlliedOffsets was created by AlliedCrowds, a data and tech firm based in London. We are expanding our product offering and are looking for the right people to help us grow.

What We Do 👋
AlliedOffsets has a unique mission: combine technology, data, and finance to bring radical transparency to carbon offsetting. We do this by creating innovative data products that help to improve transparency in the market. With 29,000+ projects in our database including details about the project, carbon credits, buyers, retirements, news, brokers, resellers, prices, forward curves and much more. Our current clients include corporations, financial institutions, brokers, academia, consulting firms, public sector entities, and research organizations.

Why We Do It 📊
Carbon offsetting is becoming increasingly popular as companies and individuals around the world take a more active role in mitigating climate change. However, the market is very fragmented with (until now) no central repository for all the projects, making it difficult to know what the projects do, and how they compare with others. Our database allows a wide variety of industry actors to access information on projects across the world, in order to make the market more transparent and available to all.

What the job involves

The role sits at the intersection of software developer and data scientist and gives you considerable responsibility and ownership of your path. At the core, it involves:
Data engineering and analysis – extending the data pipeline which feeds our carbon market dashboard and bespoke analytics platform
Developing the back-end code and infrastructure for the API – providing access to our offsets data to external clients
Contributing to full stack projects, developing products both internally and for client – from web apps to visualize bespoke data requests, to more sophisticated apps that support the flow of alternative finance to emerging markets

Diversity & Inclusion Statement 🏳️‍🌈
AlliedOffsets strives to be a diverse and inclusive place where we can ALL be ourselves. No matter the visible or invisible differences, we have long been committed to fostering an environment where everyone has an equal opportunity to reach their full potential, be heard and valued.

While diversity and inclusion has long been a business priority, we know we have significant work to do and are accelerating our commitment in our workplace and community. With that said, we particularly encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and identities.
