As a software engineer at Cleartrace, you will play a pivotal role in designing and implementing new products and features. Working within an Agile framework, you'll collaborate closely with Engineering Team members, as well as amazing team members from across the organization, including Data Science and Product. You will conduct thorough code reviews, participate in pair programming, and contribute to sprint and quarterly planning sessions.

  • Contribute to standups, sprint planning, retrospectives, and quarterly strategy sessions, providing valuable insights and feedback

  • Collaborate with QAs to maintain a robust suite of automated tests

  • Adapt to product pivots and ambiguous requirements with a proactive, solution-oriented mindset

About You / Qualifications: 

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience, with a proven track record of developing and launching successful products

  • Proficiency in Node.js and TypeScript is essential

  • Skill in leveraging Git and CI/CD pipelines for collaborative development and efficient feature delivery

  • Experience with Vue, Ruby on Rails, AWS, and SQL is highly preferred

  • Familiarity with Agile techniques, including sprint planning, code reviews, and pair programming

  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to handle ambiguity and rapid product pivots

  • Demonstrated ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with non-technical teams, such as Product, Design, and Customer Success, using strong interpersonal skills

Bonus Qualifications: 

  • You are passionate about climate tech and making an impact on climate change

  • You love the energy of startup life and thrive in a sometimes ambiguous and quickly changing environment

  • You have experience in the sustainability or climate tech industries.

  • You have relevant certifications such as AWS Developer Associate or CSM

  • You have a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent coding experience

If you’ve gotten to this point, we hope you’re feeling excited about the possibility of joining our team! Even if you don’t feel that you meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply. We’re eager to meet people that believe in our mission and can contribute to our team in a variety of ways – not just candidates who check all the boxes.

Voluntary Self-Identification

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in ClearTrace’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
