I am a software engineer who spent last summer interviewing at climate tech companies. I found that there are two categories of software jobs in climate tech: A) jobs building tools to support R&D or operations at climate hardware companies, and B) jobs building software that purports to add value to various aspects of the carbon offset economy. I personally am not interested in the latter, as the entire carbon credit system is more effective at corporate greenwashing while enabling the status quo than it is at reducing emissions. As a web developer, it was very hard to find opportunities in climate hardtech, especially ones that could come close to FAANG compensation. I did find what I was looking for, but can confirm that there aren't many opportunities like this.
