Job description

Product Designer

Do you want to work on the most pressing problem of our generation? We’re looking for the best Product Designers in the world to join a growing Series A startup. At CarbonChain we see the climate crisis as a transformative opportunity for the global economy, and a rewarding career opportunity. Decarbonizing the economy requires a granular, real‑time view of where emissions come from and how they might be reduced. We’ve built software to automate the carbon footprinting of supply chains so their emissions can be measured and managed down. Banks, traders, and manufacturers use our product to tame the complexity of international supply networks, identify the most carbon‑intensive parts, and find greener alternatives. Having developed technology which is significantly ahead of competitive solutions, we are now investing heavily in market adoption.

To join CarbonChain, you’ll need a proven career path in Product Design with a focus on technology for good, ideally within the environmental space. Our company is made up of passionate people with expertise ranging from oil refining to deep learning. Between us we’ve run Amazon’s European supply chain, built JustEat’s corporate meal delivery platform, and monitored industrial emissions with satellites in all corners of the globe. We’ve got MBAs and PhDs but we know there’s a lot we don’t know, and we’re hoping you can help fill that gap.

About the role

You’ll work closely with product managers, engineers, and other designers to translate complex problems into elegant, user‑centered solutions. Whether refining an existing feature or designing something entirely new, you’ll play a critical role in ensuring our products not only look great but are also functional, accessible, and aligned with user needs and business goals. This is a hands‑on role ideal for someone who thrives in a collaborative environment, enjoys solving real user problems, and is passionate about the craft of product design.

What we require from applicants

• 3–5+ years of experience in Product Design, ideally within tech or related industries
• Startup/scale‑up experience with a strong sense of urgency and ownership of deliverables
• Proficiency in design tools such as Figma, Sketch, Adobe Creative Suite, or similar
• Ability to create wireframes, prototypes, and high‑fidelity mockups
• Comfort working with design systems and contributing to design libraries
• Basic understanding of front‑end development (Angular/Typescript/JavaScript, etc.) is a plus
• Strong portfolio showcasing end‑to‑end product design process across multiple platforms (web, mobile, etc.)

What we're offering

• 28 days of annual leave
• Home office set up allowance of £500
• £2,000 annual learning allowance
• Private healthcare
• Generous parental leave policy
• Team lunches once a week in the office
• Subsidised gym classes, office gym, and cycle‑to‑work scheme

EEO statement

We’re striving to build a diverse team and we would love to hear from applicants from backgrounds less frequently represented in technology, be that in terms of gender, race, or professional background. CarbonChain values diversity and inclusion and welcomes applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds.
