Tech Lead

About Us – Join Our Mission to Fight Climate Change as a Technical Lead

Do you want to be part of one of Europe’s fastest-growing climate tech startups? We are seeking a passionate Technical Lead to help transform every company into a sustainable business, with critical responsibility and influence on our product and overall venture development.

We have recently secured €6.5 million in Series A funding, led by Kvanted and ENV, with contributions from NewAlpha Asset Management and several business angels. Our Climate ERP solution is trusted by leaders like Maersk, Nippon Express Europe (NX Group), and DMG MORI, streamlining corporate emission management and reduction. This funding allows us to expand and enhance our platform, integrating sustainability into business operations.

With us, you’ll have the opportunity to dive into the world of a high-growth SaaS startup and gain hands-on experience across key areas of early-stage operations.

If you are excited about building an economy where every company creates an impact for a sustainable world and empowering companies to decarbonize and boost their business performance, we’d love to hear from you!

Location: This position is fully remote but must be based in one of our Hub locations in Berlin, Munich, Bonn/Cologne, Lisbon, London
