At Emidat, we are building the first climate-native product management system for building material manufacturers. We aim to decarbonise building materials, making up 11% of global GHG emissions. We collect data from physical production processes, generate a digital product passport with verified environmental data and make it usable along the value chain. In short: One solution to assess, design, buy, sell and manage products - with environmental impact at the core.
With this, we are building the digital infrastructure to make it faster, easier, and more sustainable to build the world around us.

Your mission
Turn Emidat's verified environmental data into applications that make producing sustainable materials a business value. That means discovering and building the most customer demanded applications, working closely with our product team.
First projects will include improving our Emidat Atlas, enabling competitive insights in the platform and helping our customers leverage their data as a business value, building critical applications such as Emidat's DPP offering. This is Emidat's most explorative team, and the expectation is that the applications you build will seed entirely new product lines.
This is a team where engineers grow fast, because the work is genuinely explorative and the feedback loop between what you build and how users respond is short.
In the first 6 months, you will
Ship production features within the digital product passport platform: contribute to building the tools that let manufacturers generate, manage, and share certified product data, with guidance from the Tech Lead on architecture and approach.
Get your first exposure to product discovery: join conversations with commercial and sales teams, observe how user needs translate into product decisions, and start forming your own hypotheses about what to build next.
Learn to read the product signal: instrument features, observe usage data, and develop an instinct for what's working and why; this is a skill the team takes seriously.
Improve how we build: invest in tooling, processes, and abstractions that multiply the team's output
