👷🏻♀️ What we do 👷🏻♀️
At Emidat, we are building the first climate-native product management system for building material manufacturers. We aim to decarbonise building materials, making up 11% of global GHG emissions. We collect data from physical production processes, generate a digital product passport with verified environmental data and make it usable along the value chain. In short: One solution to assess, design, buy, sell and manage products - with environmental impact at the core.
With this, we are building the digital infrastructure to make it faster, easier, and more sustainable to build the world around us.

What you will work on
Your mission
Build the living digital representation of a manufacturer's entire product lifecycle: a system that is always current, always connected, fully programmable by humans and agents alike, and designed to serve as the authoritative source of truth not just for internal teams but for the EU's entire Digital Product Passport infrastructure.
We don’t think about our backend as a system that serves a frontend. We think of it as a structured, event-driven, compliance-grade model of a product's reality that any consumer (UI, API, agent, ERP, BIM tool, regulator) can interact with.
As a Senior Engineer on this team owns the full product loop. You don't implement specs handed to you; you're in discovery conversations, forming hypotheses, shipping, and measuring. High autonomy, high accountability.
In the first 6 months, you will
Own the foundation that powers how manufacturers capture, connect, and act on their production lifecycle. This is long-term infrastructure work with real product consequences, and you're the one making the architectural bets.
Design and ship the integration layer for ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, MS Dynamics), PIM systems, and supplier databases
Define the API surface that has to serve a frontend, an AI agent, and a third-party platform at the same time. Lead cross-functional work with designers, LCA experts, and customer success to translate messy real-world manufacturing workflows into something clean and usable.
Our Tech Stack:
Languages: Python, TypeScript
Backend: FastAPI, gRPC
Frontend: React
Databases: PostgreSQL, Redis
Infrastructure & DevOps: Kubernetes, OpenTofu, OTel, AWS, Azure
CI/CD & Automation: GitHub Actions, Docker, FluxCD
