Build the backbone of sustainability intelligence for the real estate sector.

Telescope is on a mission to help the real estate sector navigate sustainability risks with clarity and speed. We’re growing fast and laying the technical foundations for scale.

You’re an experienced backend developer who thrives in a fast-paced and varied workday. You take a pragmatic approach to development, balancing ideal solutions with real-world constraints. You're comfortable navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities in a startup environment.
