Full Stack Engineer Circular Economy (Remote)

About:

We are a remote-first climate tech start-up based in Germany that uses technology to advance the vision of a net-zero economy.

Simplifying calculations of carbon emissions is our aspiration, aiming to enable companies to take data-driven decision-making on lowering their carbon footprint as efficient and swift as possible, granting them transparency and control over their own emission reports.

As a Full-Stack Engineer, you will be collaborating with our engineering team on the development of a software geared towards a national research project called DiCES.

We are developing the model that decides the future of used products in order to balance economical and ecological constraints of the industry. The project is a circular economy milestone, enabling companies to make quick decisions on heavy hardware products.
