Support Data Engineer

Come join the climate technology startup that is radically shifting the trajectory of global sustainability!

At Altruistiq we're building a SaaS product to help the world’s largest companies increase the sustainability of their global supply chains. We know that business can create benefit for all its stakeholders including the environment, but that this requires a new kind of corporate intelligence. Our product enables that intelligence, it tracks environment indicators, defines what needs to be done, and channels resources to where they are needed most. This could mean helping the world’s largest brands to change farming practices in India, wind down coal power plants in Africa, or increase the re-usability of packaging materials in Europe.

Our company is working with global category leaders in private equity, FMCG, food service and logistics, and we are currently facing a massive, growing demand base. To support that growth, we're backed by some of the world’s most recognizable names in sustainable investing.

We believe in strong teams of self-motivated people, working in flat hierarchies with the opportunity for everybody to weight in. And as individuals we're all very much driven to make positive change in the world and for ourselves.

If this excites you, then please join us as Data Support Engineer to go on this journey together.
