IN BOLD PRINT - Full Stack Software Engineer

About IN BOLD PRINT:

Our software platform helps small to midsize companies in the consumer goods space measure their carbon emissions to meet regulatory requirements and drive revenue growth. Think of IN BOLD PRINT as the ‘TurboTax’ of carbon accounting.

IN BOLD PRINT is a female-founded, venture-backed startup based in Chicago. We just completed another successful capital fundraise and are looking to grow our team as we launch into this next phase of rapid growth! With a round full of both institutional investors and strategic, corporate partners, we are set to move quickly and take the industry by storm.

About the Role:

IN BOLD PRINT is seeking a skilled and motivated Full-Stack Software Engineer to spearhead development of the next generation of our carbon emissions calculation platform. This is a unique opportunity to build a system for scale from the ground up, shaping the future of environmental impact measurement and analysis. You will be a key member of a small, dynamic startup team, directly impacting the company's trajectory and making a significant contribution to environmental sustainability.

We are looking for an individual passionate about building innovative solutions and thoughtful about what really moves the needle with end users. Expect a fast-paced, collaborative environment where your contributions will have immediate, visible results. As the primary technical resource, you will be responsible for all development efforts, working with the CTO for technical support. You’ll own the "how,” and work closely with the founders on "what" and "why."

In This Role, You Will Work On:

• Architect and Develop a Scalable, Modular Platform: Develop a highly scalable and flexible back-end platform for the calculation and validation of carbon emissions data. Its modular architecture will enable customized configurations, robust APIs, efficient handling of complex business logic, and a data architecture designed for in-depth analysis and compelling data visualization.
• Craft a Seamless Front-End User Experience: Develop an intuitive, guided, and user-friendly React front-end application that simplifies interaction with robust back-end capabilities, eliminating the need for specialized knowledge.
• Own Data Integrity: Design and implement processes to ensure data accuracy, consistency, and security, meeting stringent audit and compliance standards. Experience with data engineering or analysis is a significant plus.
• Iterate and Innovate: Rapidly build and test MVPs, incorporating founder and user feedback into improvements throughout the development lifecycle. You'll play a pivotal role in providing technical direction on the product roadmap.
• Build Foundation For Growth: Leverage your expertise in CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure) to ensure efficient and reliable deployment and operation of the platform. You will be responsible for the entire software development lifecycle, including writing and thoroughly testing code, following best practices, troubleshooting production issues as they arise, and creating documentation for knowledge sharing with new team members and platform users.
• Collaborate and Lead: Work closely with the CTO and founders, actively contributing to the technical vision and providing insightful technical guidance. You are comfortable working independently but enjoy collaborating within the team and are open to feedback.
