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 environmental impact, working directly with the Head of Engineering.
The position involves creating sophisticated software solutions to tackle mass transfer problems in carbon removal, leveraging agriculture, mining, and transportation industries. You'll be building critical systems including interactive geospatial tools, automated workflows, data pipelines, and laboratory information management systems.
Lithos, backed by prominent investors like Union Square Ventures and Greylock Partners, has already secured major customers including Stripe, Alphabet, Shopify, and McKinsey's Frontier program. The company works with farmers to spread basalt rock on farmland, simultaneously improving soil health and capturing carbon dioxide at a fraction of traditional costs.
The ideal candidate will bring strong full-stack development experience, particularly with React, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL. You'll need to be comfortable with ambiguity, capable of independent operation, and skilled at balancing quick solutions with long-term architectural considerations. The role offers competitive compensation ($140,000-$180,000), comprehensive benefits, and the opportunity to make a significant environmental impact.
Working in a remote environment, you'll collaborate with a team of industry-leading academic scientists and proven entrepreneurs. This position offers the unique opportunity to apply software engineering expertise to combat climate change while building scalable solutions for a rapidly growing industry.
