Build the ESG Operating System of the future and own the technology of an ESMA-licensed rating agency. Be part of the Executive team with equity

Ecomate is a European ESG rating agency and the first ESG Operating System: a self-service SaaS and PaaS suite that lets any company integrate, manage, and report sustainability — or monitor the ESG performance of the businesses it works with. We are an ESG rating provider under Regulation (EU) 2024/3005, supervised by ESMA, accredited by Accredia under ISO/IEC 17029, and built in Europe for European companies across every EU framework (CSRD, ESRS, Taxonomy, SFDR, CSDDD). Our roadmap spans thirty-plus interconnected products — from a two-hour SME rating to unsolicited ESG risk scores on millions of companies, a white-label platform, an API, and an "open-ESG" scientific committee.

Initial requirements (please do not continue if you do not read yourself in these criteria)
Located in Milan or willing to relocate (80% ON SITE, 20% REMOTE)
Super fluent in Italian and sufficiently fluent in English




Wanting to work for equity as much as in the fixed salary

WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT (please do not continue if you read yourself in one of these criteria)
If your instinct is to solve problems by hiring, this isn't the fit. We want leverage, not headcount.
You see yourself as a pure manager and you do not want to get your hands dirty.
You see yourself as a 9 to 5 employee

We are small by design. We intend to stay that way while building something very large...

That makes this an unusual Senior Software Engineer / CTO role. You will hold two disciplines at once that most technology leaders only ever hold one of. On one side, a regulated, deterministic core: ratings that must be reproducible, versioned, auditable, and defensible to a supervisor. On the other, an aggressively AI-native product layer: agents, copilots, and intelligence products that reward speed and breadth. The whole architecture rests on keeping those two planes separat
