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, and the United States.

Engineering at Scope3

This individual contributor role will be responsible for building the underlying platform and shared tools to empower data engineers and data scientists. This person will also mentor earlier-career engineers, collaborate with product and design leads as needed, participate in interviewing/scaling of the all-up engineering organization.   

What We’re Looking For:

  • 5+ years of experience building data platforms in high volume/scaling environments across distributed teams 
  • Experience with Google Cloud Platform and/or Amazon Web Services
  • Expertise in Python, SQL
  • Big query or equivalent data warehouse experience (redshift, snowflake, etc)

  • Experience with Clickhouse
  • Demonstrated experience perpetuating an inclusive and collaborative working environment

Preference may be given to candidates with the following:

  • Experience with Golang, Typescript
  • Experience working in advertising technology, marketing, climate tech industries

Our Culture is rooted in …  

  • A 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. 
  • A desire to communicate clearly and empathetically while working asynchronously. We have always been a globally distributed, remote-first company and leverage remote-friendly tools to collaborate such as Slack, Zoom, Notion, Miro, etc. 
  • Celebration of healthy conflict in the workplace; differences in approach are good! 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.
