About Green Project: At Green Project Tech, we’re building the intelligence layer behind sustainable supply chains. Our UK team leads on Engage50 (supplier engagement for enterprises) and Product50 (efficient PCF / carbon footprint calculation at scale). These tools feed into Account50 and Act50, powering a full-stack sustainability platform used by enterprises and SMEs across the GPT / ACT ecosystem.
ACT, our parent company, is a global leader in sustainable products — giving us reach and credibility, with the autonomy and excitement of a startup.
Green Project is looking for a Backend Software Engineer to build the backend systems powering Engage50 and Product50 — tools that help enterprises and suppliers reduce their carbon footprint. You’ll design and deliver reliable services in Go, leverage AI tooling to ship faster and smarter, and play a key role in scaling the foundation of our sustainability platform.
Responsibilities:
The base pay range for this position is £70,000 – £90,000 annually + discretionary bonus; however, base pay offered may vary depending on location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
What We Offer:
Don't meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At Green Project we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
