Senior Software Engineer
Pubblicato il 16-09-2026 - Ecomate in Milano
Position: Software Developer (Path to Executive / CTO)

WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT
- Not a "scale by headcount" environment: We solve complexity with architectural leverage and AI tooling, not by bloated teams.
- Not a pure manager position: If you do not want to write code, review PRs, and get your hands dirty, this is not the right fit.
Build the ESG Operating System of the future and own the technology of an ESMA-licensed rating agency.
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.
We are small by design. We intend to stay that way while building something very large...
The Challenge & The Role
This is an unusual executive engineering role. You will balance two distinct planes:
- A Regulated, Deterministic Core: Auditable, versioned, reproducible rating methodologies defensible to ESMA and financial supervisors.
- An AI-Native Product Layer: Fast, broad, agentic workflows, copilots, and intelligent pipelines.
Your mission is to keep these two planes cleanly separated yet connected through a secure gate, while orchestrating a hybrid engineering model composed of core developers, contractors, and production-grade AI coding agents.
And you will lead a team that isn't only human. You'll orchestrate people on-site, remote,
