Full-Stack Engineering Lead

At Scope Zero, we’re creating a new employee benefit called a Carbon Savings Account™ (CSA); think HSA, but for home technology and personal transportation upgrades. The CSA serves as an employee-centric corporate sustainability strategy and the platform we’re building links employees, employers, and partner vendors to decarbonize the residential and personal transportation sectors - areas that have historically been difficult to decarbonize.
