Job Description

Sweep is hiring a Senior Fullstack Engineer to work on our sustainability data intelligence platform.

Climate change is the defining issue of our time. By empowering companies with technology that helps them manage their climate impact, we believe Sweep can make a meaningful contribution to a better future for all of us.

Ok, sounds promising. What will I be doing?

As a key player in our Engineering team, you'll own features end-to-end from data models and backend systems to the interfaces that make sustainability data actionable for our users. Your work will sit at the heart of a platform used by major enterprises to track greenhouse gas emissions, meet regulatory requirements, and drive real decarbonization.

More specifically, your mission will involve:

1. Build and own features of the core product 🌱

• Design and implement end-to-end features, from database schema and backend logic to GraphQL API and frontend UI

• Take full ownership of significant parts of the system, including reliability, performance, and long-term maintainability

• Contribute to and challenge our technical architecture as we scale

• Participate in every stage of the development lifecycle from design to rollout and smooth operation in production

2. Bring genuine backend depth ⚙️

• Design robust data models and schemas that perform at scale

• Build and operate backend services, including background jobs, async pipelines, and integrations with third-party systems

• Own observability: instrument systems, define meaningful metrics, and respond to incidents with confidence

• Identify and address security risks proactively from API design to infrastructure exposure

• Automate deployments via our CI/CD systems and improve development processes

3. Be a team force multiplier 👫

• Lead technical design on significant features and share your experience openly

• Review pull requests with rigour and care raising the bar for the whole team

• Participate actively in team rituals (standups, planning, retros)

• Contribute to our culture of quality: incremental, well-tested, observable changes

4. Pursue quality 🔍

• Be a quality gatekeeper champion clean code, good test coverage, and solid engineering practices

• Improve processes and methodologies to reach the highest standards

• Bring excellence in your own work and help others do the same

That's just right for me. What do I need to bring?

Good you asked. Some more details on who we’re looking for

• Demonstrated ability to work in complex systems and make sound architectural decisions

• Ability to deliver across competing priorities with autonomy and clear communication
