Key skills

This Software Engineer role at Normative focuses on developing backend services using Python within the sustainability and climate impact domain. Candidates should have solid production experience in Python, with strong skills in building and evolving backend services that handle complex sustainability data via databases and APIs. A good understanding of web services, databases, and the Python data stack is essential. The role requires collaboration with cross-functional teams including Sustainability Engineers, product managers, and frontend developers to deliver end-to-end features. Responsibilities include improving software development processes such as CI/CD pipelines, testing, and monitoring, emphasizing ownership of technical decisions and driving them forward. A proactive, curious, and collaborative mindset is key, along with enthusiasm for learning and knowledge sharing. While not mandatory, exposure to Typescript or frontend development, familiarity with cloud platforms and containerization technologies, and experience with data-heavy or sustainability-focused products are advantageous. The position is based in Copenhagen and involves working in a supportive, mission-driven environment committed to accelerating the transition to a net-zero world. The role offers opportunities to contribute meaningfully to climate impact through software engineering, requiring a blend of backend craftsmanship, data-driven problem solving, and sustainability domain interest.
