Developer/Associate Founder

This innovate start up is not hiring an employee. They are looking for a co-founder. As an Associate Founder, you'll own the development and evolution of the platform featured on their website The MVP is live and in the hands of early design partners - 3D facility twins, emission plume overlays, a regulations engine, reporting, and an AI chatbot assistant. The technical foundation is real. Now they need you to make it enterprise-grade. What you'll own

• Platform & Scale:Own Postgres + RLS architecture, observability, CI/CD, and SOC 2 readiness. Design field/offline capture (PWA, mobile) and sensor ingestion pipelines for OGI cameras, fixed sensors, and drone data.
• Science & Compliance: Engine Productionize emission quantification and dispersion modelling (Gaussian / CFD-assisted). Build the regulatory engine in line with EU Methane Regulation, OGMP 2.0 into auditable, submission-ready reports.
• Team & Roadmap:Own the technical roadmap and make the first engineering hires. You'll be a player-coach: still shipping code while multiplying through architecture decisions and who you bring in.

• 8+ years in production SaaS, 3+ as tech lead, principal engineer
• Shipped 3D in the browser (Autodesk Forge/APS, Three.js, Cesium, or similar)
• Strong TypeScript / React / Postgres; comfortable with serverless and edge runtimes
• Geospatial experience: PostGIS, Mapbox/Cesium, coordinate transforms
• Taken a product through an enterprise security review Ready to Build Something That Matters If you're a senior engineer who wants ownership, influence, and the opportunity to scale a platform with real-world impact, we'd love to hear from you.

Background in energy, environmental compliance, methane monitoring, CFD, or industrial IoT. Real production AI work beyond chat: RAG pipelines, evals, tool-calling, guardrails. What They offer

• Founding equity + competitive salary (adjust to your stage).
• A technically defensible wedge in a market that's being mandated into existence by regulators.
• And a mission where the impact is measurable in parts per billion.
• Equity
• Work From Home
