🌎 What we do
We build software that helps companies along the food system get to Net Zero.
~31% of global GHG emissions originate from food-related activities. For the first time in history, climate performance has become an overall business performance indicator. Enterprises are mandated by regulatory bodies to disclose their climate performance, which leads to increasing pressure from investors, competitors, retailers, and consumers to prevent and reduce their CO2e emissions. Over the next 10 years, companies have set ambitious reduction targets that need to be met. Enterprise software and new business processes can help.
We raised >€10m in funding in the first 2 years of our existence, launched our enterprise product, signed some of Europe's largest F&B players, built strong recurring revenue, and put together what we believe is the best-suited early stage tech team in Europe. Will you be the next to join us? 🚀
🔭 What you will work on
Your mission
Join Root for a fixed-term contract (parental leave cover) of approximately 6–9 months and help shape and mature our product suite during an exciting phase of growth.
You’ll take ownership of solutions ranging from farmer-facing tools used across European markets to enterprise platforms serving some of Europe’s largest food industry players. In close collaboration with product and engineering leadership, you’ll help drive product decisions and translate complex problems into clear, scalable experiences.
From day one, you’ll have real ownership and the chance to influence products that impact farmers, supply chains, and sustainability across Europe.
Preferred start date is June 2026, with flexibility for an earlier start.
Over the next months you can expect
