🌍 Shape the Future of Climate Tech with Phlair!

Fossil fuels have powered our economy for decades—at the cost of pollution and a changing climate. At Phlair, we’re reversing that equation. With our cost-efficient, scalable electrochemical Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology, we pull CO₂ from the air to either store it permanently or repurpose it into CO₂-negative chemicals.

Join us in enabling a carbon-negative future.

🚀 WHY WE’RE DIFFERENT?

We’ve developed a breakthrough hydrolizer for acid/base regeneration, enabling scalable CO₂ capture. With partners like Frontier Climate, Stripe, and Shopify, we’re on track to make a global impact.

Our Project Dawn is our flagship initiative, setting the foundation to scale our technology and remove millions of tons of CO₂ from the atmosphere. We're one of the only seven DAC companies with a proven offtake agreement. Phlair is poised to become a technology leader, leveraging renewable energy and low-cost DAC to provide clean energy solutions that go beyond carbon removal.

🛠️ YOUR MISSION AT PHLAIR

- IoT & Data Infrastructure: Build and manage the pipeline capturing data from our Beckhoff PLCs via OPC-UA and other fieldbus technologies.

- Database Mastery: Structure and maintain the databases (e.g., InfluxDB, PostgreSQL) that store our experimental data, ensuring it is clean and scalable.

- Visualization & "Deep Insight" Tools: Own our Grafana stack. Create intuitive dashboards that allow our scientists to compare different experiments in a highly visual and seamless fashion.

- Full-Stack Automation: Develop internal tools and AI-enabled workflows (using Python or Claude Code) to automate the transition from raw experiment to reported insight.

System Reliability: Take responsibility for the health of our data flow from the sensor level to the cloud—no data gaps, no downtime.
