Backend Developer (Node.js, AWS)
Project description
The Carbon Capture Platform is designed to support the verification and management of CO₂ sequestration data from Carbon Capture and Storage operations. The system processes operational monitoring data, generates verifiable records, and enables the creation of digital tokens representing stored CO2. At the beginning of the engagement, the team will analyze the existing platform, including reviewing the architecture, evaluating the current codebase, and identifying technical issues, gaps, and potential risks. Based on this assessment, the team will work on resolving identified problems, improving system stability and scalability, and implementing required enhancements. The team will also continue development of new features and support onboarding of new customers, including integration with external data sources such as SCADA systems. The overall goal of the engagement is to ensure reliable operation of the platform, support its further development, and enable efficient integration of new users and data sources.
