About Scope3

Scope3 is the industry’s leading collaborative sustainability platform. By modeling the complex digital advertising supply chain, we help brands measure and dramatically reduce digital waste to reduce carbon emissions from advertising and increase the efficacy of advertising investment. This is an exceptional opportunity to build a company alongside great people and make a difference in one of the most important issues facing the planet: the climate crisis.

We’re a reliably-funded company of 100+ folks distributed across the globe. We are fortunate to be led by an experienced leadership team, many of whom designed and engineered the digital advertising landscape as we know it today. The company secured $20M in Series B funding led by GV in Oct 2023 (additional investors include Venrock, Rucker Park, Room40 Ventures, and Craft Ventures), and we are thrilled to be the recipient of a secondary round of $25M in Oct 2024. Scope3 has significant market traction with more than 70+ customers and is experiencing accelerated growth.

Scope3 is a fully remote company and largely asynchronous to provide flexible working hours and to operate globally, with concentrations in New York and Europe. At this time, we are hiring in Canada, Australia, UK, France, Germany, Singapore and the United States.

About The Role

Our Web Applications team of four includes a backend engineer with strong technical skills, and we need additional expertise to bridge the gap between product/design specifications and data realities.

Currently, designs and specifications often make it to development without full scrutiny of data feasibility or edge cases. This creates downstream challenges when unanticipated data limitations or edge cases surface late in the process, leading to inefficiencies and expensive pivots later in the process.

We’re excited to add a Senior Software Engineer to strengthen our process by bringing analytical scrutiny earlier in the planning phase. Reporting to the Web Apps Team Lead, this individual will ensure features are grounded in what’s feasible with the available data and contribute to a smoother development process, more reliable reporting features, and fewer surprises post-launch.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to product feature work as a backend-leaning full-stack developer
• Collaborate with product, data science, and design teams to assess the feasibility of new reporting features and designs.
• Investigate and analyze underlying data to support feature implementation and data-driven insights.
• Identify and account for edge cases to ensure accuracy and reliability in reporting features.
• Implement data validation and error-handling strategies to ensure data integrity.
• Document data assumptions, findings, and technical challenges clearly for team reference.
• Foster an inclusive and psychologically safe team environment by embodying our values of “Learn Together” and “Lead with Curiosity,” actively engaging with team members, valuing diverse perspectives, and supporting collaborative problem-solving.

Skills & Experience

• Proficiency in backend development with TypeScript
• Familiarity with SQL for querying, analyzing, and validating relational databases
• Experience with Airflow (or similar), designing and managing DAGs
• IaC using Terraform (or similar) for provisioning and managing cloud resources (database views in BigQuery and ClickHouse)

Our Culture & Values

• Passion for the environment and climate work. We are a mission-driven company, and this is what motivates us to work hard and deliver outcomes for our customers. 
• Clear and empathetic communication, especially while working asynchronously. We have always been a global, remote-first company and we collaborate using Notion, Miro, Slack, Loom, and other tools. 
• We celebrate healthy conflict in the workplace; we focus on the solutions and we move on quickly. 
• The ability and accountability to deliver what we promise. We do what we say we will do, and we don’t make promises we can’t keep. 
• Experience driving systemic change. Our mission is to decarbonize advertising and this requires a holistic approach to re-imagining and inspiring an industry movement at a global scale.
