## Job description

Application Overview Thank you for your interest in Thalo Labs! Our General Application pool is a way for you to introduce yourself and let our team know what type of role you'd like to find at Thalo Labs. We will reach out if we have an opportunity that matches your skillset and experience. Make sure to check all the roles that are applicable.

## Who we are

We’re Thalo Labs, a NYC-based company on a mission to transform the built environment into a powerful tool for fighting climate change. Where others see buildings as part of the problem, we see an incredible opportunity to leverage existing infrastructure to not only accelerate drawdown, but to transform the built environment from one of the biggest emitters to a carbon sink.

Our team has built self-driving cars at Waymo, worked on satellite imagery at Google, designed systems for John Deere, developed space missions for NASA, engineered bikes for Peloton, led manufacturing design for Boom Supersonic jets, and more. We are united by our shared goal of making products that help us decarbonize today and accelerate drawdown globally tomorrow.

Our Core Values

- Climate First: The mission of addressing climate change is shared and deeply felt by all Thalonians. Don’t put off until 2050 what you can do today.
- Commitment to Excellence: Thalonians are committed to delivering the best possible work product, no matter how big or small; for ourselves, our customers and the environment.
- Radical Ownership: Thalonians are empowered to take responsibility and initiative. There are no gaps, only owners.
- One Team: The virtuous cycle of trust, transparency and accountability enables our success. Our default is to assume the best of intentions and approach conflict with a goal of improvement.
- Optimistic Pragmatism: Thalonians deploy pragmatic solutions today with endless optimism for tomorrow. We focus on iterative progress with the firm belief that this is the fastest way to our goal.

## What We Offer

- An immediate opportunity to make an impact fighting climate change with a mission-driven team.
- An in-person, collaborative culture. In our historic Brooklyn Naval Yard office, we not only have a stocked pantry but we also dedicate time to connect with each other during weekly happy hours, Falafel Fridays, and quarterly off-sites.
- Equity! At our ground-floor stage, we place a strong emphasis on the value of equity in our compensation package to full-time employees.
- National healthcare plans, dental and vision insurance.
- Unlimited PTO to all our salaried employees so you can take time when you need it.

Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Thalo Labs is committed to diversity and building an equitable and inclusive environment for people of all backgrounds and experiences.  We think that a diverse team is critical to Thalo's success.  We especially encourage members of traditionally underrepresented communities to apply, including women, people of color, LGBTQ+ people, veterans, and people with disabilities.

## About Thalo Labs

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Thalo Labs combines proprietary hardware and AI software to give HVAC contractors predictive intelligence, improving installation accuracy and equipment monitoring while reducing carbon emissions.
- **Entity Type**: Private (venture-backed; Seed and Venture rounds completed)
- **Headquarters**: New York, NY, United States
- **Founded**: 2021
- **Founders**: Brendan Hermalyn (Founder & CEO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Environmental services / HVAC technology / Climate tech / Decarbonization
- **Target customers**: B2B — HVAC contractors, building owners, property managers, affordable housing operators, and transportation infrastructure agencies
- **Mission**: "Don't put off until 2050 what you can build today!" — focus on immediate carbon-emission reductions through data-driven HVAC and carbon capture solutions ([thalolabs.com/careers](https://thalolabs.com/careers/))

## Products & Services
- **Gordon**: A connected diagnostic tool that transforms HVAC line set commissioning into a guided, sensor-verified workflow. It automates pressure holds, vacuum verification, and refrigerant charge validation, and generates a digital certification report per install. Uses 4G LTE cellular so contractors can leave the site and receive remote alerts. Targets ≤5% callback rate vs. the industry's ~23% average ([thalolabs.com/about](https://thalolabs.com/about)).
- **Sidekick**: A non-invasive monitoring device that continuously tracks compressor health, refrigerant behavior, and overall system performance. No Wi-Fi required — Thalo's built-in cellular handles connectivity; installs in ~15 minutes. Sends real-time alerts so technicians can arrive with the right parts and catch failures before the customer calls ([thalolabs.com/about](https://thalolabs.com/about)).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Total funding not publicly disclosed; documented Seed and Venture rounds exist, including one led by Suffolk Technologies. Third-party data estimates annual revenue in the **$5M–$25M range** ([linkedin.com](https://linkedin.com/company/thalo-labs))

  - Expanded product portfolio with Gordon and Sidekick to cover the full HVAC equipment lifecycle

## Competitive Advantages
- **Hardware + AI moat**: Proprietary sensor hardware and ML/AI-powered software that work without on-site Wi-Fi, using built-in cellular for continuous monitoring ([thalolabs.com/about](https://thalolabs.com/about))

- **Early carbon capture positioning**: Partnering with the Port Authority of NY & NJ on a first-of-its-kind pilot brings carbon capture to transportation infrastructure, a nascent market ([linkedin.com](https://linkedin.com/company/thalo-labs))
- **End-to-end lifecycle coverage**: From commissioning (Gordon) to ongoing monitoring (Sidekick), Thalo reduces repeated visits and increases first-time fix rates ([thalolabs.com/about](https://thalolabs.com/about))

## Strategic Focus
- Expand predictive HVAC intelligence across the entire equipment lifecycle: commissioning, monitoring, and long-term service
- Bring carbon capture into the built environment and infrastructure — not just industrial sources
- Grow the New York team, particularly engineering and commercialization, to scale product delivery and partnerships ([thalolabs.com/careers](https://thalolabs.com/careers/))

- **In-person collaboration**: The company explicitly values open communication and working side-by-side; current openings are on-site in New York, NY ([thalolabs.com/careers](https://thalolabs.com/careers/), [jobs.lever.co](https://jobs.lever.co/thalolabs))
