[C]Worthy is building a software system – called C-Star – to support standardization of carbon removal accounting and environmental impact assessments related to deployments of marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) technologies. The C-Star system includes a physics/biogeochemical ocean model, input and output data management capabilities, computations of standardized carbon-accounting metrics, workflow orchestration features, and functionality to enable auditability and reproducibility of computations. C-Star will include functionality to enable the creation of unique digital links between model simulations used for carbon removal accounting and individual carbon credits. The C-Star system is being developed as a set of open-source Python packages that orchestrate and interface with geophysical data products and externally developed, open-source, Fortran-based geophysical codes. It is a key piece of enabling infrastructure for the responsible, scientifically credible growth of the mCDR industry.
We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Software Engineer to contribute to the architectural design, development, integration, optimization, and testing of the C-Star system. As a member of a relatively small and agile team, you will work as both an individual contributor - developing high-quality software, identifying and executing tasks in the software development life cycle, reviewing and debugging code, collaborating with the internal team, and ensuring software is up-to-date with the latest technologies – as well as providing technical guidance, mentorship, and light project management expertise to deliver software on release deadlines. As the software engineering team grows, there may be opportunities to take on expanded responsibilities and people management.
