Lithos Carbon is a company focused on enhancing soil health and carbon capture on farms through the application of basalt rock dust. By utilizing the silicate minerals in crushed basalt, Lithos Carbon aids farmers in sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere via enhanced rock weathering. Their technology optimizes both crop yield and carbon capture, allowing farms to become more productive while also generating revenue from carbon removal. Lithos Carbon employs proprietary machine learning algorithms to tailor soil treatment strategies for maximizing carbon capture and improving soil health. This approach not only replenishes and enriches soil with essential nutrients but also strengthens crop resiliency against environmental stresses. Backed by research from prestigious institutions like Yale University, Lithos Carbon's methods provide accurate measurement and modeling of carbon capture across ecosystems. The company partners with farmers to handle logistics from soil sampling to application, ensuring the ecological and financial benefits of basalt application are fully realized.

📋 Description

• As a Senior Software Engineer at Lithos, you’ll work directly with our Head of Engineering to build the operating system for one of the largest carbon dioxide removal efforts in history. • How does software play a role? Carbon removal is a mass transfer problem. We need to create an entirely new industry capable of removing tens of billions of tons of CO2 — the same order of magnitude as humanity’s entire global production of food, or concrete, and to do all this within the next decade. • Our bet: the best chance of success is by leveraging three industries already capable of this scale: agriculture, mining, and transportation. But just having the physical and human infrastructure is not enough. • At Lithos, we’re building the operating system to plan, orchestrate, track, and optimize enhanced rock weathering. You'll combine deep full-stack technical skills with empathy and design thinking to build and scale our interconnected platform. Some examples of the diverse challenges you might work on: • Interactive geospatial tools for mapping, analysis, and optimization • Creative automated and human-in-the-loop workflows for digitizing PDF maps and records • Pipelines for ingesting, converting, and analyzing raw data logs from agricultural machinery • Audit-ready representation, tracking and reconciliation of an array of real-world activities • Laboratory information management systems (LIMS) for tens of thousands of field samples.

🎯 Requirements

• You have experience building apps for non-technical power users in a fast-paced, early-stage environment. We're flexible on your background, but candidates without mid-senior engineering experience are not likely to be a fit. • You are fluent in modern web development across the full stack and have experience with technologies similar to our current stack (React, Typescript, Phoenix and LiveView, and Postgres/PostGIS/SQL). We expect successful candidates will be able to rapidly pick up a new language or technology from first principles rather than look for YoE in a particular language or tool. • You have excellent communication skills and are comfortable operating in a highly ambiguous environment. You’re capable of operating independently and are able to scope your work and collaborate with both internal and external stakeholders to achieve business goals without tight supervision. • You are comfortable balancing scrappy and relentlessly resourceful solutions while recognizing key areas for longer-term investment. You have an opinion for when to take on tech debt and when to pay it down.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary (the posted salary range for this role is $140,000 USD - $180,000 USD, depending on experience) • Comprehensive health coverage including medical, dental, and vision • Access to our 401k plan • Unlimited PTO and sick days
