Description

• As a Senior Software Engineer at Lithos, you’ll work directly with our Head of Engineering to build the operating system for one of the largest carbon dioxide removal efforts in history. • How does software play a role? Carbon removal is a mass transfer problem. We need to create an entirely new industry capable of removing tens of billions of tons of CO2 — the same order of magnitude as humanity’s entire global production of food, or concrete, and to do all this within the next decade. • Our bet: the best chance of success is by leveraging three industries already capable of this scale: agriculture 🚜, mining 🪨, and transportation 🚚. But just having the physical and human infrastructure is not enough. • At Lithos, we’re building the operating system to plan, orchestrate, track, and optimize enhanced rock weathering. You'll combine deep full-stack technical skills with empathy and design thinking to build and scale our interconnected platform. Some examples of the diverse challenges you might work on: • Interactive geospatial tools for mapping, analysis, and optimization • Creative automated and human-in-the-loop workflows for digitizing PDF maps and records • Pipelines for ingesting, converting, and analyzing raw data logs from agricultural machinery • Audit-ready representation, tracking and reconciliation of an array of real-world activities • Laboratory information management systems (LIMS) for tens of thousands of field samples.

Requirements

• You might thrive in this role if: • You have experience building apps for non-technical power users in a fast-paced, early-stage environment. We're flexible on your background, but candidates without mid-senior engineering experience are not likely to be a fit. • You are fluent in modern web development across the full stack and have experience with technologies similar to our current stack (React, Typescript, Phoenix and LiveView, and Postgres/PostGIS/SQL). We expect successful candidates will be able to rapidly pick up a new language or technology from first principles rather than look for YoE in a particular language or tool. • You have excellent communication skills and are comfortable operating in a highly ambiguous environment. You’re capable of operating independently and are able to scope your work and collaborate with both internal and external stakeholders to achieve business goals without tight supervision. • You are comfortable balancing scrappy and relentlessly resourceful solutions while recognizing key areas for longer-term investment. You have an opinion for when to take on tech debt and when to pay it down.

Benefits

• Competitive salary (the posted salary range for this role is $140,000 USD - $180,000 USD, depending on experience) and meaningful equity compensation • Comprehensive health coverage including medical, dental, and vision • Access to our 401k plan • Unlimited PTO and sick days
