As the market becomes more complex in its requirements, our software is leading the way in how you capture, analyse and report on your emissions. Staying ahead of the curve with regards to legislation / compliance and customer needs has always been at the heart of our core business. Having grown exponentially over the last 5 years and continues to grow, we are looking to expand further our development team and SaaS capabilities, as we onboard more customers and the market moves towards stricter environmental compliance. About the Role We are looking for a multi-skilled, curious and motivated Software Developer to join our established team and help build and improve our core digital platforms, used by thousands of businesses to manage their environmental impact. You will play a key role in the continuous development of Sustrax (our carbon management software), COMP (our carbon credit marketplace) and other systems. These platforms are essential tools that help our clients navigate Net Zero and carbon reporting. This role suits someone who enjoys solving complex problems, writing clean code, and improving existing architecture across the full stack. We are also looking for someone with a strong interest in exploring and implementing emerging AI technologies to see how they can improve our tech stack and subsequent customer experience.
