🌍 Climate impact · Energy-system modelling · Open-source technology

I’m working with a climate-tech nonprofit building software that helps governments, policymakers and energy planners make better decisions about the transition to cleaner electricity systems.

This isn’t a standard frontend CRUD role.

The team is building Scenario Builder — a browser-based platform used for energy-system modelling, grid planning, decarbonisation analysis and long-term infrastructure decisions.

The frontend engineering problems are genuinely interesting.

You’ll be building spreadsheet-like interfaces, interactive visualisations, filtering workflows and complex data-heavy features over datasets that can run into millions of rows — including input tables of around 5.1 million rows , well beyond what Excel can handle.

They’re now looking for a Frontend Software Engineer to join a small interface team working on a modern, greenfield React and TypeScript codebase.

You’ll work closely with a Principal Frontend Engineer, Product, UX, backend engineers, AI engineers and energy specialists, with plenty of ownership over the features you build. The work can vary significantly sprint to sprint — from large data grids and visualisation to AI-powered product features.

Could be a strong fit if you:

• Have 3+ years building production frontend applications with React and TypeScript

• Have built complex, data-heavy interfaces involving tables, filtering, forms or visualisations

• Understand frontend performance and how to work efficiently with large datasets

• Have experience with client-side caching, synchronisation and invalidation — TanStack Query or similar

• Have worked with frontend testing across unit, component, integration or E2E levels

• Enjoy building reusable, accessible components and modern frontend architecture

• Are comfortable working closely with Product, UX and backend teams

• Enjoy solving difficult frontend problems rather than simply implementing standard screens

Experience with AG Grid, D3, AG Charts, TanStack Table/Virtual or Parquet would be particularly useful, but isn’t essential.

Climate or energy experience isn’t required either — they’re much more interested in strong frontend fundamentals and people who enjoy technically challenging product engineering.

This is a good opportunity for someone who wants meaningful ownership, technically difficult frontend work and the chance to build software that has an impact beyond commercial optimisation.
