Job description

About the Company

At LanzaTech, we’re turning waste carbon into new beginnings. Using our proprietary bio-fermentation technology, we transform industrial emissions, carbon dioxide, and gasified waste into ethanol—a building block for a wide range of sustainable products, including Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and other critical chemical derivatives. With six commercial facilities already in operation and more on the way, we’re scaling fast to meet the world’s growing demand for fuels and materials. Our technology helps industrial sectors by unlocking value from emissions that would otherwise go to waste. Together with our partners, we’re building a circular carbon economy—where carbon is continuously reused, not released. If you’re ready to make a meaningful impact on the future of industrial sustainability, we’d love to hear from you.
