Associate Founder
Company Description
Lambda Quantech is a climate-tech company that converts methane emissions reductions into verified financial assets for gas operators. Our Source-To-CreditTM ecosystem includes:
- One-Click LDARTM platform — combining physical AI and 4D Digital Twin technology to generate continuous emissions profiles
- MethaneGuard® — a 24/7 system for tracking and verifying repaired leaks.
We exist to make the clean energy transition economically compelling, not just environmentally necessary.
Role Description
We're not hiring an employee. We're looking for a co-founder. As an Associate Founder, you'll own the development and evolution of the One-Click LDAR platform featured on our website www.lambdaquantech.com
The MVP is live and in the hands of early design partners — 3D facility twins, emission plume overlays, a regulations engine, reporting, and an AI chatbot assistant. The technical foundation is real. Now we need you to make it enterprise-grade.
What you'll own
- Platform & Scale: Own Postgres + RLS architecture, observability, CI/CD, and SOC 2 readiness. Design field/offline capture (PWA, mobile) and sensor ingestion pipelines for OGI cameras, fixed sensors, and drone data.
- Science & Compliance: Engine Productionize emission quantification and dispersion modelling (Gaussian / CFD-assisted). Build the regulatory engine in line with EU Methane Regulation, OGMP 2.0 into auditable, submission-ready reports.
- Team & Roadmap: Own the technical roadmap and make the first engineering hires. You'll be a player-coach: still shipping code while multiplying through architecture decisions and who you bring in.
You probably have
- 8+ years in production SaaS, 3+ as tech lead, principal engineer
- Shipped 3D in the browser (Autodesk Forge/APS, Three.js, Cesium, or similar)
- Strong TypeScript / React / Postgres; comfortable with serverless and edge runtimes
- Geospatial experience: PostGIS, Mapbox/Cesium, coordinate transforms
- Taken a product through an enterprise security review
- SSO, audit logs, penetration testing
Bonus
Background in energy, environmental compliance, methane monitoring, CFD, or industrial IoT. Real production AI work beyond chat: RAG pipelines, evals, tool-calling, guardrails.
What we offer
- Founding equity + competitive cash (adjust to your stage).
- A technically defensible wedge in a market that's being mandated into existence by regulators.
- And a mission where the impact is measurable in parts per billion.
