At Gigaton, we’re on a mission to cut gigatonnes of carbon emissions from the world’s biggest emitting industries, like cement, steel, and glass, by applying cutting‑edge AI where it matters most. We’re a small and growing team of scientists, engineers, and strategic thinkers who care deeply about impact and believe in getting there with good humour and urgency. Our SaaS products help heavy industry optimise operations in real time, cutting costs and carbon today while building the foundation for the next industrial revolution.
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our platform team and help us push the boundaries of what AI can do for the planet.
We don't draw a specific line between engineering and research teams. We operate as one cohesive unit, sharing tech stack, knowledge, and objectives. Our focus spans from fundamental ML research to commercial‑grade software development, offering diverse learning and impact opportunities.
Why this role exists
Gigaton is scaling deployments from a handful of sites to dozens of plants per year. Large industrial operators have the biggest decarbonisation potential, but they also have strict security and networking constraints. Until recently, most of our systems lived in our own cloud. Now, we’re building the capability to run our workloads effectively in our customers' own environments.
We need a software engineer with solid cloud architecture experience to help us smash this out of the park. You'll be a senior individual contributor partnering closely with product, ML, and solutions teams.
Your main responsibilities
* Own key platform components across AWS and GCP, shaping architecture for scalable, secure systems.
* Deploy and operate our workloads inside customer‑owned cloud accounts, working directly with their IT and infrastructure teams to navigate requirements and constraints.
* Assist more junior team members with their development, helping them learn core software engineering skills and best practices.
* Propose and drive improvements to existing systems and pipelines.
What a great fit looks like
* You have deep experience with AWS or GCP (bonus points for both!). You have a solid understanding of cloud networking.
* You’re fluent in Python and Terraform.
* You have designed or owned CI/CD pipelines for frequent, safe releases.
* You love collaborating with others and are familiar with agile technical practices, including pair programming, mob programming, and TDD. You balance good engineering practices with pragmatism: you know when “good enough now” beats “perfect later”.
* We’re a startup! You are comfortable with ambiguity and enjoy owning a problem from discovery to delivery.
Bonus points
* You’ve worked in industrial, IoT, or similarly complex environments.
Benefits
* Equity in the company: When we win, you win. You’ll get share options, so you’re part of our journey from the inside.
* Flexible working. We trust you to know how and when you work best and to work that out with your team.
* 30 days of holiday (plus bank holidays). Rest is productive. Take the time you need to recharge.
* A generous pension scheme. We’re planning for the future in more ways than one.
