Mission
What you will drive
You'll own meaningful product surface area and drive it from ambiguous problem to shipped solution. Specifically, you will:
- Build customer-facing workflows that streamline the research, sourcing, and purchasing of environmental commodities.
- Partner with Product and Design to converge on 80/20 solutions—prioritizing fast learning and high impact.
- Act as the DRI on initiatives: clarifying scope, sequencing work, aligning stakeholders, and driving projects to the finish line.
- Raise the quality bar through thoughtful reviews, pragmatic architecture, and a bias toward getting the right things live.
- Communicate clearly and in writing, using meetings primarily for active collaboration and decision-making.
Impact
The difference you'll make
Your decisions influence an entire market and your code has measurable climate impact by routing hundreds of millions of dollars to projects that permanently remove or reduce CO₂.
Profile
What makes you a great fit
We are primarily hiring for Senior / Staff+ scope, given the level of ownership and ambiguity involved. However, we welcome earlier-career candidates who demonstrate exceptional product thinking and judgment.
Strong candidates tend to possess the following:
- A product engineer's mindset: You care about the user, ask 'what problem are we actually solving?', and turn messy requirements into crisp scope.
- High ownership and urgency: You don't wait for instructions. You proactively propose what the next 3–12 months should look like and hold yourself to a high bar.
- Collaboration with accountability: You communicate directly with respect, disagree and commit, and prefer a DRI model over consensus-by-default.
- AI-native workflow: You routinely use AI to tighten feedback loops and unblock yourself, without lowering the bar for quality or judgment.
- Excellent engineering fundamentals: You build reliable, secure, and maintainable software, making pragmatic trade-offs that protect long-term velocity.

- Competitive salary and meaningful equity
- On-site culture in San Francisco with bi-annual off-sites for deep strategy and team bonding
