About Us
SINAI’s mission is to provide organizations with the technology necessary to build deep decarbonization strategies. Our tools engage organizations to automate carbon analysis and reporting for their entire operation, transforming the way they interact with their business, value chain, and the environment.
We look for diversity of ideas, talent, and exceptional individuals who are experienced with building new solutions from scratch, are comfortable with making tradeoffs to deliver high-value outcomes, are proactive, take ownership, and enjoy working in a fast-paced collaborative environment.
No prior knowledge of GHG accounting, environmental science, or climate change is required, but we expect you to be a quick and voracious learner.
Come define the category of decarbonization intelligence with us!

- Seeking feedback from users and colleagues to iteratively increase confidence in the solutions you design
- Empathetically Representing user perspective and what’s best for users in decision-making conversations
- Advocating for modern best practices like user centered design, design thinking, lean, and agile
- Collaborating daily with your team and stakeholders to solve complex problems in uncertain environments using a combination of their domain knowledge and your skills in research and design
