We’re currently pre-seed and actively fundraising. We’re sharing these roles early because we believe the right people should help shape the system from the beginning.

We are looking for the very best teammates to help make the CarbonXAI vision a reality. If you want to help, please reach out to:

Founding Software Engineer (Platform & Data Systems)

CarbonXAI is building infrastructure to make environmental and sustainability data verifiable, comparable, and trustworthy.

We’re not building a dashboard. We’re building a system that answers:

• Can this data be trusted?

• Why?

• Compared to what?

We’re looking for a founding engineer to help design and build the core platform from the ground up.

What you'll do

• Design and build the core platform, including APIs, data pipelines, data models, and evaluation systems.

• Design systems for ingesting and evaluating heterogeneous ESG / climate datasets

• Develop reliable, explainable approaches to data provenance, scoring, and traceability.

• Make foundational decisions on infrastructure, data modeling, and scaling

• Contribute pragmatically across the stack (backend-heavy)

• Collaborate with the founders as a technical peer, challenging assumptions and helping establish architectural direction.

• Establish engineering practices that prioritize correctness, maintainability, observability, and simplicity.

• Build systems that are understandable and adaptable, rather than merely sophisticated.

• Identify where AI and machine learning can improve data interpretation, reconciliation, and analysis—and where deterministic approaches are more appropriate.

What we're looking for

• We value deep expertise and complementary strengths over familiarity with any particular technology stack

• Strong backend / systems engineering experience

• Experience with data-intensive systems (pipelines, distributed systems, APIs)

• Ability to operate in ambiguity and shape architecture, not just implement

• Interest in building systems that deal with truth, trust, and imperfect data

Bonus

• Experience with graph models, knowledge systems, or scoring frameworks

• Familiarity with data provenance / auditability concepts

• Startup or 0→1 experience

Why this role matters

You’ll help define the technical foundation of a new category — a trust layer for environmental data.

Early architectural decisions here will directly shape:

• how trust is computed

• how data is interpreted

• how the system scales across industries

Stage

• We are pre-seed, actively fundraising

• Equity-only at this stage. We're building a founding team that shares our conviction in the opportunity. We're looking for collaborators who want meaningful ownership and a hand in shaping the company from the beginning.

• Flexible scope depending on experience (hands-on contributor → team lead)

Founding GHG Emissions SME (Carbon Accounting & Methodology)

CarbonXAI is building a platform to evaluate and contextualize environmental data — starting with greenhouse gas emissions.

We’re not just aggregating disclosures.
We’re building systems that can interpret:

• how emissions are calculated

• what assumptions are made

• how comparable different claims actually are

We’re looking for a domain expert to help define how trust in emissions data is evaluated.

What you’ll do

• Define how CarbonXAI interprets and evaluates GHG emissions data

• Analyze methodologies (Scope 1, 2, 3) and their underlying assumptions

• Help design the framework for emissions-related trust scores

• Translate real-world ambiguity into structured logic and signals

• Identify high-value datasets and inconsistencies across sources

• Work closely with engineering to embed domain logic into the platform

What we’re looking for

• Deep familiarity with carbon accounting and GHG emissions reporting

• Understanding of frameworks like GHG Protocol, CDP, or similar

• Strong analytical thinking — able to reason through incomplete or conflicting data

• Comfort operating in ambiguity and shaping early-stage systems

Bonus

• Experience with corporate sustainability reporting or auditing

• Exposure to lifecycle analysis (LCA)

• Experience working with raw or messy datasets

Stage

• We are pre-seed, actively fundraising

• Equity-only at this stage. We're building a founding team that shares our conviction in the opportunity. We're looking for collaborators who want meaningful ownership and a hand in shaping the company from the beginning.

• Flexible scope depending on experience (hands-on contributor → team lead)
