About this job

About&nbsp;CarbonChain&nbsp; Want to work on the most pressing challenge of our generation? If you want to build exceptional products, execute at scale, and want to help build a company for the long term,&nbsp;we'd&nbsp;love to hear from you.&nbsp; CarbonChain&nbsp;helps the world’s biggest supply chains measure and reduce their carbon emissions, using verified primary data where possible, and robust defaults where it&nbsp;isn’t. We build software that turns messy, real-world operational and supplier information into decision-grade carbon and compliance insights, so teams can&nbsp;act:&nbsp;improve sourcing, meet regulations like CBAM, and deliver credible reporting to customers, investors, and regulators.&nbsp; We’re&nbsp;a product-led company&nbsp;operating&nbsp;in a high-stakes domain. Data quality, auditability, reliability, and trust matter as much as speed. If you enjoy building systems that customers rely on, and shipping improvements that measurably change&nbsp;behaviour&nbsp;across a network,&nbsp;you’ll&nbsp;feel at home here.&nbsp; Our Product<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:281,&quot;335559739&quot;:281}">&nbsp; Our platform combines real-world emissions data with our customers' supply chain information to create actionable insights. We help sustainability teams answer critical questions: Where are the emissions hotspots in our supply chain? Which suppliers should we prioritize?&nbsp;What's&nbsp;the carbon impact of switching vendors or routes?&nbsp; A major focus of what&nbsp;we’re&nbsp;building right now is supplier engagement and CBAM data management:&nbsp; <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="5" data-list-defn-props="{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1">enabling installations (goods producers) to prepare, manage, and share CBAM datasets through guided product carbon accounting workflows;&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="5" data-list-defn-props="{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1">improving our supplier database and connection management to support sharing across supply chains;&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="5" data-list-defn-props="{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}" data-aria-posinset="3" data-aria-level="1">and building ingestion pipelines that turn messy customer files into structured, provenance-tracked, insights-ready data.&nbsp;</li> </ul> Beyond CBAM, our platform supports product and corporate carbon&nbsp;footprinting&nbsp;used by some of the world’s largest commodities producers and traders, helping teams move from data collection to credible reporting and decision-making.
