• Driven by evolving consumer expectations and impending regulations — such as the ESPR and EUDR in Europe, and the AGEC law in France — furniture brands are undergoing a major transition toward sustainability.

How far along are we in the project?

We’ve been engaging with the industry for the past 10 months. We have a clear idea of what our MVP should look like. We even have a few lines of code ready.

Now, we want to finish the MVP to close our first deals.

• You have a knack for data challenges.
• You know how to scale a SaaS product.
• You’ve worked in international environments before, and you’re comfortable working remotely.
• Bonus : You hold an engineering degree.
