Company Overview
Charm Industrial
San Francisco, CA, United States
2018
Approximately 60 employees (source: contrary.com). Revenue figures are not publicly available, but the company has secured $100 million in total known funding as of June 2023 (source: contrary.com).
What They Do
Charm Industrial specializes in carbon removal technology, focusing on the fast pyrolysis of biomass waste. This innovative process involves heating various organic materials, such as corn stover, rice straw, and timber slash, to around 500°C in oxygen-free environments. The result is a viscous bio-oil and biochar, which not only helps in carbon sequestration but also serves as a soil amendment (source: contrary.com). The primary service offered by Charm is the permanent removal of carbon dioxide by injecting this bio-oil into deep abandoned oil wells, where it can sequester CO₂ for over 10,000 years, leveraging existing oil infrastructure for scalability (source: lowercarbon.com). Additionally, the company is exploring secondary applications of bio-oil, including its conversion into renewable hydrogen fuel and its use as a cleaner ingredient in zero-carbon steel production (source: time.com). Charm targets corporate buyers of carbon removal services, particularly in the tech, finance, and retail sectors, and sources biomass from farmers and forestry operations to address waste from wildfires and harvests (source: mcj.vc).
Projects & Track Record
Charm Industrial has made significant strides in carbon removal, completing its first injection of bio-oil within just 10 months of pivoting to this technology in 2020. By 2021, the company had successfully delivered over 5,000 tons of carbon removals to early customers, including notable clients like Stripe, Shopify, and Microsoft (source: charmindustrial.com). Ongoing projects include the front-end engineering for its first demonstration fast pyrolysis plant, which is set to be site-specific in 2024, and field trials for purpose-grown crops in Louisiana (source: contrary.com). The company has also secured key contracts, such as a $53 million deal with Frontier for 112,000 tons of CO₂ removal from 2024 to 2030, and a separate agreement with JP Morgan for over 28,000 tons (source: time.com). Charm's geographic presence spans its San Francisco headquarters, operations in Colorado, and scaling efforts in the corn belt, with ambitions to dominate the U.S. heartland for biomass sourcing (source: lowercarbon.com).
Recent Developments
In recent years, Charm Industrial has secured a $53 million offtake agreement with Frontier in May 2023, aimed at achieving 112,000 tons of CO₂ removal by 2030, alongside a separate contract with JP Morgan for over 28,000 tons (source: contrary.com). The company also closed a $100 million Series B funding round in June 2023, which is intended to enhance its injection wells, pyrolysis capacity, and workforce (source: time.com). Media recognition has been significant, with TIME featuring Charm as a leader in the carbon capture race in 2023, and Bloomberg covering the Frontier deal, highlighting the company's innovative approach to carbon removal (source: weforum.org).
Working There
Charm Industrial offers a variety of roles aimed at building a new industry, with open positions emphasizing engineering, operations, research, and geology. Key departments include Engineering, led by Dillon Card, who has a background at SpaceX, and Research, led by Ed Young, a PhD from Princeton (source: charmindustrial.com). The company is primarily hiring in its San Francisco headquarters and Colorado for pyrolysis and injection operations, with plans to expand into the corn belt (source: contrary.com). Charm's culture emphasizes principles such as "First, Do No Harm" and "Gigatons or Bust," reflecting a commitment to safety, health, and ambitious growth targets (source: time.com).

Job Description
Our mission is to return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO???. We convert excess inedible biomass into carbon-rich bio-oil and inject it into underground storage for permanent carbon removal. At scale, we can use bio-oil to make fossil-free iron.
Our carbon removal efforts began in 2020 with initial purchases from customers like Stripe, Shopify, and Microsoft. Since then, we've scaled to thousands of tons of carbon removal, grown to over a hundred employees, and established three locations in San Francisco, Colorado, and Louisiana.
We're expanding our team of ambitious, creative, and hands-on problem solvers. We value psychological safety, collaboration, and continuous learning. We take calculated risks and treat mistakes as opportunities to improve. If you're excited about tackling big challenges, we encourage you to explore our company values.
Come help us reverse climate change. Gigatons or bust!
About the Role
Charm is hiring an EIS (Enterprise Integration Systems) Engineer to own the technical infrastructure connecting our core operating systems: Manufacturo (MFO), NetSuite, and Mangrove, among others. This role operates within the IT organization and is responsible for the plumbing - integrations, automation scripts, system administration, and cross-system data anomaly resolution.
Charm operates a federated ownership model. Engineering, Operations, MRV, and Finance own their respective data and processes. The EIS Engineer owns the infrastructure underneath them. You are the person those teams rely on when data needs to flow between systems reliably, when a new process needs to be wired up technically, or when something breaks across a system boundary. You are not the owner of every problem - but you are the owner of the infrastructure that causes them.
Your Responsibilities (What You Will Own)
Digital Tool Assessment & Implementation
- When a new digital tool is needed, assess what's available in the existing ecosystem and make the final selection call in coordination with Engineering
- Configure new tools at the system level - modules, licensing, permissions, and integrations - so domain teams can build on top of them
- Own the technical infrastructure underneath what engineers build; if the plumbing is broken, you get the call
Integration & Automation Infrastructure
- Maintain and develop all integrations between systems including but not limited to Manufacturo (MFO), NetSuite, and Mangrove
- Own automation scripts running in Manufacturo's Integrator module (C#)
- Ensure NetSuite ??? MFO integration flows are error-free and assembly builds are triggering correctly
- Manage the data pipeline from MES to MRV reporting tools (SQL queries, Google Sheets connection)
- Build new integrations as the business introduces new processes or systems
- Own UAT test plans for new integrations; coordinate domain owners to test their respective pieces
- Ensure data is protected and security best practices are followed
- Create diagrams, wikis and system records to clearly document your designs.
Cross-System Anomaly Resolution
- Intake, triage, and prioritize data anomaly tickets that cross system boundaries
- Investigate root cause, coordinate with the relevant domain owner, and own the fix at the integration or infrastructure layer
- Document root causes and resolutions to reduce repeat issues
Data & Reporting Infrastructure
- Write and maintain SQL queries that feed MRV and operational reporting
- Update queries and scripts when processes change
- Fulfill data requests from internal stakeholders - dashboards, CSVs, live data connections - in coordination with the relevant domain team
System Administration
- Administer Manufacturo, NetSuite, and Mangrove at the configuration level: items, products, user roles, licenses
- Maintain hardware peripherals connected to these systems - label printers, scanners, tablets, and the Bartender integration
- Own the master documentation library; ensure domain teams are documenting their own processes
NPI / Process Change Support
- When Engineering introduces a new process, configure the technical infrastructure to support it: data collection fields, automation scripts, and integration outputs
- Consult with Engineering and Ops Process Specialists during process builds to ensure the system can support what they're designing
- Support integration testing and go-live; Responsible Engineer owns approval
What You Won't Own
To set expectations clearly: this role does not own process design, work order construction, or data collection field definitions (Engineering Process Specialist); shop floor execution quality or operator training (Operations Process Specialist); MRV data requirements or Mangrove data quality (MRV team); or NetSuite financial data quality (Finance/Controller). Those teams own their domains. You are their systems infrastructure partner, not their data steward. When a process plan is wrong, they get the call. When the plumbing is broken, you do.
You Bring
- 2+ years in a systems integration, MES/ERP administration, or manufacturing IT role
- Hands-on experience with an ERP system - NetSuite strongly preferred
- SQL proficiency: writing, maintaining, and quality-checking queries against relational data models
- Familiarity with API integrations and middleware concepts
- Basic scripting ability in C# or a comparable language; comfort using AI tools to accelerate development and debugging
- Strong communication skills - you'll be coordinating across Engineering, Operations, MRV, and Finance regularly
- Strong Understanding of Information Security best practices.
Other Preferred
- Experience with Manufacturo or a comparable MES platform
- Experience with Mangrove or similar environmental data / MRV platforms
- Familiarity with Ignition SCADA or industrial data systems
- Experience managing third-party integration vendors or consultants
- Background in manufacturing, biorefining, chemical processing, or a similarly data-intensive industrial environment
- Networking fundamentals helpful for hardware troubleshooting
Characteristics that matter
- You take ownership of the infrastructure, not just the tickets. When the plumbing is broken, you find it before someone else does.
- You're comfortable operating across team boundaries without formal authority - this role succeeds through relationships and trust, not control.
- You document as you go. Institutional knowledge that lives only in your head is a liability, and you know it.
- You understand that your job is to make domain owners successful, not to be the smartest person in the room on every topic.
- Love what you do, and be self driven to be great at it.
Bonus, if you Bring
- Experience using Claude AI Coding Assistant
- Security certifications like Security+, ISC2
- Experience working with Google Cloud Platform Infrastructure
- Experience with GitHub and development pipeline practices
$99,204 - $148,806 a year
What We Offer
- Equity ownership through stock options
- 100% employee healthcare premiums covered
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with multiple plan options
- Employer-funded HSA contributions for eligible HDHP plans
- Traditional and Roth 401(k) with a 50% match on contributions up to 6%
