Isn’t food awesome? Chicken teriyaki, jacket potato and beans ” with or without cheese? East or South Asian curry ” vegan, veggie or meaty? Fish and chips.

It’s all good stuff. But did you know – 40% of all food grown, never gets eaten by a human? Mental.

We could feed a few folks with that, I reckon. The more you look into it, the more you realise that food waste is a massive problem. It emits methane too! Bugger.

Thankfully, it’s not all doom and gloom.

Over 81% of us would be happy to accept food from a neighbour or someone in their community. There’s a company getting more people ” and businesses too! to do exactly that.

They’re working with businesses and suppliers across the food and beverage supply chain, around the world, to operate more sustainably and divert unsold or unwanted food into the bellies of the folks that need and want it.

They’ve grown organically over the last 8 years, and have over 6 million users with 65,000 volunteers. That’s 6 million people doing their bit to remove food waste from the equation, and they can do it all with a few clicks, taps and snaps!

They’ve got big plans, new features and integrations in the works that’ll make it easier for users to share and collect, right now the tech team sits around 25 people, across dev and test.

In 6 months or so that’ll grow to about 32. That’s where you come in!

They’re a friendly bunch and as you can imagine everyone in the team is passionate about sustainability. If you’re someone that really cares about this stuff, you’ll be right at home, literally ” they’re a remote-first company.

If you’ve been a dev for ~4 years and maybe one or two of that have been with Ruby on Rails, boom! If you enjoy peer programming and are comfortable with testing using tools like Rspec or Capybara and want to solve tricky problems, sweet!

They use things like AWS with S3, ECR, ELB, and Cloudwatch and also use Docker, Travis CI for their CICD, lots of google maps integration and Redis, among other things. Any experience with those or similar tools will help. Most importantly, they’ll want to hear where you see yourself in the bigger picture of climate action.

If you fancy building something that could change behaviours around food waste for good, helping millions of people along the way, well. You know what to do.

GreenTech Frontend Developer

Location: Cambridge, hybrid – 2 days per MONTH on-site

Salary:  Up to £38K (+12% pension, healthcare and more)

Biodiversity is a buzzword right now. The destruction of nature and loss of biodiversity is amplifying other crises.

Governments are scrambling to measure and value nature, and how their infrastructure or economic plans impact our wild spaces, health and environment, questioning whether a diverse forest is more commercially or socially valuable than an oil rig, palm-oil plantation or regenerative farm.

How do you even track that?

This organisation build tools and offer services and support to conservation partners, private companies and governments around the world to integrate nature into all that they do.

You’ll work proactively with technologies such as Javascript and VueJS, some Ruby on Rails and Python on the backend, along with lots of SQL as they manage various critical databases, to leverage insights and empower all kinds of people, from scientists to policy and lawmakers.

You’ll have one of the most supportive and engaged senior management teams we’ve seen, along with access to a variety of support for learning, from paying for textbooks or conference tickets to getting you onto that course you’ve been tempted to buy.

The work you do here will accelerate the positive impacts and solutions available to improve our environment by generating buy-in across stakeholder groups of all levels, showing the real-world benefits of enhancing and protecting biodiversity.

A lot of these benefits are tangible economic and social wins that in the longer term will reduce our dependency on problematic resources such as fossil fuels.

Their tech stack is predominantly Javascript, Ruby on Rails, Python and MySQL, with some other bits sprinkled in and use of all cloud platforms based on what their partners use.

They have so many areas to add value, they need someone driven who can be decisive in wanting to find ways to add value.

You’ll work with scientists and researchers to design, build and implement tools. You might run workshops or training to help them with the tools they’ve built for themselves. The people here are exceptionally passionate so will chart their own path where possible. You’ll be able to do the same and support others in their endeavours.

So, if you’re serious about saving our planet and turning the tide against the fight to fix our climate crisis, this is definitely a role you should apply for.

What are you waiting for?

Yes, it’s finance and trade and market analytics. Yet, in the current climate, there is much that a company can do to commit to positive change and this company you’d consider joining is doing just that.

Not only are they carbon neutral certified, but they have also implemented a transparent pledge, in accordance with the UN Climate Change “Race to Zero” guidelines, to halve their carbon emissions by 2030 and work towards net zero by 2040.

This has transformed them into the first global exchange group to ever do such a thing!

Not only that – they are a big team and are committed to diversity and inclusion. The importance placed on each individual’s well-being permeates throughout the organisation. They are one of The Valuable 500, after all.

Now that I’ve got your attention, let’s look at what you’ll need to be considered for the job.

Some experience working with DevOps tools and CI/CD pipelines is required, as part of the role will enlist your help to configure DevOps infrastructure, using things like Jenkins or GitLab.

Experience with cloud infrastructure is a must, so if you come from a GCP or Azure background and are happy to also learn AWS services, that’s great. You will get the opportunity to use those skills as the team work on multi-cloud platforms.

You’ll also need a fair amount of automation know-how that will serve you well when planning and executing performance and operational testing, as well as looking at fault tolerance.

Python is something that will get you far in the land of the Linux-operated environments that you will be trekking day to day, while some basic knowledge of at least one programming language, such as Java, will be a trusted companion along that journey.

On occasion, your reliable communication skills will be called upon to deliver presentations or reports to various audiences, so your initiative and enthusiasm for your work, as well as attention to detail and resilient spirit, will help you prevail.

All the above and much, much more is at your fingertips, so why linger?

GreenTech DevOps Engineer
Salary: €75,000 – €90,000 + 15% bonus, equity + remote setup, conference and training budgets.
Location: Fully remote – Europe or UK based.

Forest management can be challenging. Cut too much and you’re causing unnecessary damage, too little and the risk of wildfire or damage to infrastructure can be devastating and costly.

Vegetation management may not sound all that exciting but building earth observation software to integrate satellite imagery and Machine Learning with data coming in from the team and remote sensors and other hardware on the ground presents interesting challenges!

These systems are used to efficiently manage resources and team activities, saving time and money.

Most importantly though, this saves homes, businesses and services from blackouts caused by seasonal and extreme weather events. It’s a game changer in energy and climate resilience.

The company have grown rapidly since the end of 2021. There are ~50 people now, with around 20 of those in development and data science.

So far, their DevOps function has been managed by the CTO and a part-time engineer. They’re looking for someone who can implement Infrastructure as Code and a longer-term DevOps strategy factoring in security and leading on gaining security certifications.

You’ll work to support the development team and have responsibility for reliability. They haven’t had any major issues so far, but if one came up, they’d need you to identify and understand the problem and get to work on implementing a fix.

You’ll also support the data team, perhaps helping implement machine learning models or refining data pipelines, so good data pipeline experience is highly desirable.

They use Google Cloud Platform but understand AWS is largely transferrable, alongside Docker, Kubernetes and Dagster. But experience with Argo, Airflow, Dask or others is transferrable.

If you’ve worked with satellite data or imagery, that’s hugely valuable, and Pangeo stack, so JupyterHub, Xarrat or Zarr will also stand out.

Most importantly they need someone to embed and influence their DevOps culture, someone who’s not afraid to coach individuals and teams.

You don’t need to know everything but a self-starter who knows where to look for information and who is keen to implement and share what they learn is what’s needed.

Following that, a real passion for climate solutions is something they’ll need to see.

They care about their staff. They have budgets to contribute to your training and development, and operate truly flexibly – so long as you’re available and overlap with the team (+/- 1 hour CET is best) you can work when you chose.

If this sounds like a bit of you please reach out. They’re remote first and will consider people anywhere in Europe. They can also provide visa sponsorship via a Netherlands government salary sacrifice scheme if you’d prefer to move to the Netherlands.

GreenTech Frontend Developer – Blockchain

Location: Remote, Worldwide.
Salary: Up to $110K

Blockchain isn’t something traditionally associated with climate impact and making a positive difference. More than a few would argue that anything blockchain linked could deliver a positive environmental or social impact.

But there’s an important argument to be made – in regard to greenwashing – for the transparency that blockchain can bring to the table.

It’s an undeniably exciting and interesting field of work with immense potential. Some see it as the next coming of the internet, Web 3.0 – ‘oooooh’, ‘aaaahh’…

But there are tangible examples of companies using blockchain to illuminate their supply chains, measure and then address, in terms of emissions and product sustainability. That’s not to be sniffed at.

Here we have a company making it easier for socially and environmentally driven individuals to find opportunities in their desired fields. To find jobs, projects and companies delivering the impact they seek.

Their platform enables people to search for projects and job roles, whether permanent, freelance or volunteering, the world over, and apply. The blockchain element enables them and the business or group to show what is achieved, a completed portfolio of work or outcomes, demonstrating their credentials and action to protect them against the heckles of greenwashing.

The company are globally dispersed with their base in Japan, but people spread around the world from India to the US.

The teams are driven by their passion for social and environmental action and have decades of experience helping refugees, working on renewables projects, tackling injustice and walking a path towards a healthier planet and society.

In terms of skills they’re looking for, Javascript or Typescript, React and NodeJS will stand out.

Following that, they use Solidity and Haskell with Cardano and Milkomedia and are Ethereum compatible so any exp touching those is great. And testing or automation experience to help establish an infrastructure that’s scalable on an international level will jump out, too. They want their platform to benefit companies, NGOs and motivated people around the world, creating communities that can amplify their impacts.

In terms of Infrastructure, they’re using AWS, with some GraphQL and are hoping to integrate algorithms and data structures to make it easier for folks to find work that matches their skills and experience.

They’re tackling problems that, so far, have only had local or regional solutions with limited reach or too niche a focus. If you’re keen to solve problems that have scaled and growing benefits for our one and only planet and its most prolific species, please hit apply.
