Our Client works with a demand to low-carbon alternatives. Since the fashion industry is responsible for ~5% of global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), their product aims to avoid hundreds of millions of tons of GHG every year. They do that by helping fashion retailers and brands put a carbon tag on the products they sell. 40+ fashion brands from all over the world are partnering with them and several major fashion retailers are currently deploying their product. With big incoming investments they are now looking for someone to accelerate in building the technology.

This part-time engagement is for at least 20-25 hours/week at your convenient time + availability for catch up calls during the working hours in France (between 11AM and 7 PM) 2-3 times a week first, 1-2 times after the onboarding stage. The calls would take around 1 hour each.

As the first software engineer to join the founding team, you’ll work hand-in-hand with the CTO to create the technology platform. You will work closely with the 3 founders and the Head of Science. You’ll also participate in growing the engineering team once you arrive, with at least another hire in the first half of 2022.

This means taking part in the design, architecture, implementation and operation of the different components, like:
🐳 product data ingestion / ETL platform: retrieves and consolidates data from many sources (brand/retailer product inventories, websites…) to create the best-possible representation of a product
🐳 the carbon engine, transforming product data into carbon footprint assessments
🐳 endpoints where they display the carbon information: a widget embedded by brands and retailers, the website, etc

A few examples of the key challenges you will be working on:
🐳 extend from the first product category (sneakers) to another one, then hundreds, by generalising the carbon model implementation
🐳 generate product data for all the products tracked by processing thousands, then millions of data points
🐳 handle the data processing as well as displaying the carbon information in demanding environments (e.g. big e-commerce retailers) by building a rock-solid infrastructure
TECH STACK:
🐳 (technologies you’ll have a key role in changing if needed)

🐳 Typescript and React everywhere

🐳 NextJS for the web, BlitzJS for internal tooling

🐳 Prisma/PostgreSQL for dealing with data

🐳 Python for data analytics and data science

🐳 Vercel/Heroku/DigitalOcean to host it
