<p><strong>The Role</strong><br />We seek a software developer to join our Product Labs engineering team, a remote-by-default collaboration-first product development team. In this role, you&rsquo;ll be joining in the formation of a new product development team.</p>
<p>At this early stage of team formation, we are focused on hiring experienced generalists who can set a solid foundation and culture for the future growth of the Product Labs team. This means we prioritise engineers with experience in Extreme Programming (XP), Domain Driven Design and our chosen technology stack (React, TypeScript, and Kotlin).</p>
<p>This is a remote-first role, but we encourage dedicated in-person collaboration days at our London co-working space, making the UK a preferred location.</p>
<p><strong>What You Will Do</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Contribute to the sustainable delivery of quality software.</strong>&nbsp;You will produce code across the entire application stack. You&rsquo;ll deliver well-tested and maintainable code, balancing sustainable quality with impactful velocity. You will do so primarily through collaborative pair and ensemble programming, but you may also do so independently by participating in peer-reviewed development when appropriate.</li>
<li><strong>Collaborate as part of a cross-functional team.</strong>&nbsp;You will collaborate with our Product Director, scientific domain experts, designers and other engineers to perform continuous product discovery. You will work with other engineers to scope and run technical experiments, practice rigorous iteration and deliver value in small steps.</li>
<li><strong>Support our customers.</strong>&nbsp;We believe in owning the products that we build. You will help the team define our KPIs, product SLOs, and alerting thresholds. You will participate in an on-call rotation to support issues that might affect our customers and help our team identify and reduce operational toil that limits our impact.</li>
<li><strong>Support our teammates.</strong>&nbsp;It&rsquo;s never too soon to begin mentoring other engineers. You&rsquo;ll do so through pair programming, code reviews, daily communication with your team, giving and receiving thoughtful feedback, and helping your teammates grow.</li>

<p><strong>What You Bring to the Role</strong></p>
<p>Ideally, you bring many of the following attributes to the table:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>A love of nature.</strong>&nbsp;We are a mission-driven company with a strong affinity for conserving and restoring natural systems. To make hard things happen, our team must put mission over ego. You find purpose not only in personal growth but also in stopping climate change and biodiversity collapse.</li>
<li><strong>Experience working across an application stack.</strong>&nbsp;You are familiar with the challenges common to data-intensive systems and browser-based applications. Don&rsquo;t worry; we know you aren&rsquo;t an expert at both, but you feel comfortable spanning the divide as necessary. You know how to balance risks and engineering efforts and are open to learning any languages, skills, and technologies we use by pairing with your teammates.</li>
<li><strong>You&rsquo;re familiar with geospatial concepts.</strong>&nbsp;You are familiar with concepts related to geospatial data or remote sensing. Perhaps you&rsquo;ve built a map-based user experience or crafted geospatial queries for a proximity-based gaming app. You might not be a geospatial expert, but you&rsquo;re comfortable discussing coordinate systems and the differences between vector and raster data.</li>
<li><strong>A strong sense of collaborative teamwork.</strong>&nbsp;You are comfortable participating fully in the collaborative Extreme Programming approach to development, product discovery and teamwork. You believe by embracing collaborative practices, we are more likely to achieve our shared objectives, benefit our users through rapid delivery, grow together by sharing knowledge, and ensure that every teammate can get the rest and time away they need.</li>
<li><strong>Comfortable supporting production software.</strong>&nbsp;You have experience shipping features to production and understand how to investigate and triage issues in your deployed code. You may have participated in an on-call rotation before and have opinions about making it an effective and positive experience.</li>
<li><strong>An adaptive and curious mindset.</strong>&nbsp;As a startup in an evolving industry, we keep our roadmap malleable and open to change in search of new opportunities for impact. You have an open mind and are comfortable pivoting as and when needed in response to new insights into our customers&rsquo; needs.</li>
<li><strong>You understand that customer value is what makes our work as engineers possible.</strong>&nbsp;It&rsquo;s easy to get absorbed in inventing an engineering marvel and forget what problem we were meant to solve. You have the experience to keep things simple, revisit scope and work in small iterations.</li>
<li><strong>Clear and open communication.</strong>&nbsp;We consider clear and thoughtful communication a fundamental engineering skill and a strong predictor of future impact. You demonstrate this in your contribution to documentation, collaborative problem-solving, and willingness to give and receive feedback.</li>
<li><strong>Excited by distributed teams.</strong>&nbsp;You will be joining an international remote-working team with a proven ability to function effectively within diverse cultural environments.

Senior Manager, Carbon Projects

<p><strong>ABOUT AMERICAN FORESTS: &nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>American Forests is a national non-profit organization committed to creating healthy and resilient forests from cities to large landscapes, that deliver essential benefits for climate, people, water, and wildlife. We advance our mission through forestry innovation, place-based partnerships to plant and restore forests, and movement building. We envision a world in which the significant environmental, societal, and economic benefits of forests are fully realized and equitably available to all people. Established in 1875, American Forests is the oldest national non-profit conservation organization in the U.S. working to restore urban forests and forested landscapes.</p>
<p>American Forests is proud to be a diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible workplace. These are our shared values. We welcome individuals who bring a variety of backgrounds and experiences to be a part of our team to help make a difference individually and collectively as we work toward achieving our mission. We are committed to fostering an environment that is welcoming and respectful and provides opportunities for advancement and professional growth for every team member. We hope you find your future with us.</p>
<p><strong>PROJECT SUMMARY: &nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>America&rsquo;s forests are a critical natural climate solution. Reforestation/afforestation offers the most immediate and ample carbon removal solution. There are many opportunities for this in the U.S., with as much as 148 million acres suitable for reforestation (ReforestationHub.org). Yet, deployment of quality reforestation at scale has been limited by high upfront costs that are out of sync with the timeline for carbon removal.&nbsp;</p>
<p>American Forests&rsquo; Reforest America Carbon Program (RACP) is designed to address the financing challenges associated with reforestation/afforestation and advance the highest quality climate-adapted projects. Over the past year, American Forests has worked with landowners, forest carbon experts, carbon registries, and businesses to design RACP to help meet the country&rsquo;s growing reforestation needs.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We are currently developing a unique portfolio of climate-adapted reforestation projects with public land management agencies, Tribal Nations, and underserved private landowners who do not have access to the necessary funding to reforest severely burned lands in the western United States and other lands suitable for reforestation in other geographies throughout North America.</p>
<p>American Forests recently received a USFS grant to support the participation of federal recognized Tribal Nations, Native Hawaiian organizations and&nbsp;underserved private landowners, in emerging markets for resilient reforestation, or reforestation that is resilient to future climate changes and disturbances as well as future market and economic conditions. We are working to deliver the following outcomes: &nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Provide federally recognized Tribal Nations, Native Hawaiian organizations and underserved private landowners, with the technical and financial resources needed for implementing resilient reforestation projects. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Create new opportunities for Tribal Nations, Native Hawaiian organizations and underserved private landowners, to access new income streams and deploy climate-informed reforestation practices well suited to emerging markets for climate mitigation and resilience.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Engage with and provide technical assistance to Tribal Nations, Native Hawaiian organizations and underserved private landowners, about resilient reforestation and emerging markets for joint climate mitigation and adaptation.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Implement high-integrity resilient reforestation projects yielding biodiversity, water, climate, and cultural benefits.</li>
</ul>

Director, Reforest America Carbon Program

<h3>About Us: </h3><p>veritree is an award-winning climate tech start-up based in Vancouver. Launched in 2021, our technology measures and verifies the impact of global restoration efforts from the ground-up. We are a small team on a big mission to plant 1 billion verified trees by 2030 with our community of businesses, planting organisations, and consumers who believe in the transformative power of verified restoration projects to create real and meaningful impact for the planet, nature and people. </p><h3>Why veritree?</h3><p>To limit global warming to 1.5°C requires immediate, deep reductions across all sectors and holistic ecosystems restoration and conservation. It is estimated that a total investment in nature of up to <a href="https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/press-release/world-needs-usd-81-trillion-investment-nature-2050-tackle-triple">US$8.1 trillion by 2050</a> is required if the world is to meet its climate change and nature targets. Mobilizing and accelerating private finance to restore and protect nature is now mission critical. Yet, climate finance is at an inflection point. While the voluntary carbon market remains the most viable vehicle to fund climate actions at scale, the current market is plagued by widespread, fundamental flaws. The market has been under scrutiny for self-regulation, lack of transparency, over-crediting and lack of ongoing monitoring. </p><p>veritree is building the next generation digital platform to accelerate investment in nature-based carbon solutions. veritree’s digital measurement, reporting and verification (dMRV) technology enables the tracking of impacts throughout a project lifecycle to provide end-buyers with the confidence that their investment is making a real impact with positive outcomes. Our goal is to transform the way carbon emission reduction and removals as well as holistic impacts are measured, monitored, forecasted, and verified for nature-based carbon solutions. </p><h3>About The Role: </h3><p>veritree is now seeking a highly motivated builder to join our team as the Director, Carbon Strategy. This role will help establish and scale veritree’s presence within the nature-based carbon space. This candidate will report directly to the CEO and serve as a part of the leadership team, acting as the head of the newly formed Carbon division. This role will be responsible for driving the strategy and execution for veritree’s carbon work across a number of key pillars: (1) project origination work both domestically and internationally, (2) consulting on product, platform, and go-to-market strategy as the veritree technology evolves to support the changing needs of carbon project development, and (3) establishing a go-to-market strategy that leverages veritree’s rapidly growing customer base and helps provide them with an innovative nature-based carbon product. </p><p>This role will be multifaceted and requires a builder that has a very deep understanding of domestic and international carbon markets and can understand signal vs. noise when developing veritree’s strategy. The chosen candidate will need to bring together different stakeholders (ie. external developers, financing organizations, consultants, etc.), work with a variety of technical experts and working groups, interface with clients, and ultimately lead the delivery of an industry leading carbon project. </p><p>The Director, Carbon Strategy will be responsible for market strategy, building an attractive carbon product, building a motivated team, and ensuring that deadlines are set, milestones are achieved, and deliverables are managed in a dynamic and constantly evolving space - carbon. You will be expected to interface with internal and external stakeholders to accomplish your objectives and must be able to operate independently and effectively within ambiguity.
