The assignment
Your mission will be to develop a set of new netzero features, providing users with full control over the data and models driving the impacts from the upstream supply chain for materials and electricity. The tool you will build allows key industry players to personalize their netzero results to their supply chain, and identify new procurement strategies to reduce their footprint. More specifically, you will work with Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) experts to design the file formats, software architecture, and information flow for downloading and uploading supply chain characterization information. To ensure your tool gets widely adopted throughout the industry, in this design phase you will consider both the interoperability with other LCA software tools, and a clear, well-crafted user experience. You will implement those features. As this implementation will include changes to the Python backend which handles the core logic, the SQL database, as well as the JavaScript frontend, you will collaborate closely with the full software team to integrate those expansions seamlessly into the current codebase while improving the general code quality. You will regularly report on your progress and provide demos to technical experts, which will enable you to have regular feedback for improvements of the tool you are building.
