Senior Software Engineer (Full-Stack)

Lithos Carbon is revolutionizing the carbon capture industry through innovative enhanced rock weathering technology. As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of building the operating system for one of the largest carbon dioxide removal efforts in history. The role combines full-stack development with real-world impact, working directly with the Head of Engineering.

The position involves creating sophisticated software solutions to manage and optimize the process of enhanced rock weathering, where basalt rock is spread on farmland to capture CO2 and improve soil health. You'll be working on diverse technical challenges, from interactive geospatial tools and data pipelines to laboratory information management systems.

The ideal candidate brings strong full-stack development experience, particularly with React, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL, along with the ability to work independently in a fast-paced startup environment. You'll need to balance immediate practical solutions with long-term architectural considerations while building tools for non-technical users.

Lithos is backed by prominent investors like Union Square Ventures and Greylock Partners, with customers including Stripe, Alphabet, Shopify, and McKinsey's Frontier program. The company offers competitive compensation ($140,000-$180,000), comprehensive benefits, and the opportunity to make a significant impact on climate change technology.

This remote position offers flexibility in location across multiple major tech hubs, including Toronto, San Francisco, and New York. You'll be joining a team of industry-leading academic scientists and proven entrepreneurs, working on technology that's already making waves in the carbon capture industry, as featured in FastCompany and Axios.
