We are an early-stage, bootstrapped team with strong industry access and initial pilot traction.

• Design and build our scalable SaaS backend and integration platform
• Lead ERP/API integrations with enterprise systems (SAP S/4HANA experience is a plus)
• Develop automation features for surplus detection, ESG compliance, and certification workflows
• Help shape our AI-powered matching engine and secure data infrastructure
• Collaborate closely on product strategy—from MVP to scale-up

Requirements

We welcome a variety of professional paths and perspectives. You might be a great fit if you bring:

• Backend or full-stack development experience (e.g. Python, Java, Node.js)
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Experience with ERP systems and integration (SAP, APIs, middleware)
• Experience with AI technologies, such as large language models (LLMs), NLP implementation, or machine learning project setup.
• A collaborative, solution-oriented mindset and practical problem solving attitude
• Passion for sustainability, technology, and digital transformation in industry

Benefits

We’re building a company that values openness, initiative, and diverse perspectives. Here’s what you can expect:

• Co-founder status with meaningful equity
• Full ownership over tech decisions and architecture
• Access to strategic pilot customers in the chemical and pharma sectors
• A driven, collaborative founding team with deep industry experience
