About Verdn

An API to bundle trackable climate donations with any transaction.

Tech description:

Job description:

--- ### Come and join Verdn as we grow our team! We're looking for ambitious programmers who are excited by the idea of having an instrumental impact on both our product and the environment. ![uploaded image](/media/?key=user_uploads/242715/39812ada-f467-43e0-acf3-e0bda8801abd) ## How we work We are **trialling fully-remote** after being in-person for 2.5 years. Chris (CEO) is based in London while Rory (CTO) and James (engineer) are based in GMT+8. Depending on how remote works for us as a team, we may ultimately ask you to relocate to either the UK or the US (w/ visa) by mid-2025. We can discuss this in detail with you individually as part of an application. --- ### In a nutshell... > Verdn is an API that lets companies pledge to sustainable causes with one `POST` call. Companies use Verdn to pledge with high-value user actions such, e.g. 2 trees planted with a product purchase, or 1 kg ocean plastic with a newsletter signup. > We take care of end-user journeys too — each pledge comes with a Verdn timeline to track its impact. [See an example here.](https://my.verdn.com/t/SM3rwVBYfcMz) ## About you * 🌍 You want your code to make a positive change to the world, and are eager to join a small, growing team where you can influence the trajectory of the product. * 🔨 You have \~2+ years' experience (doesn’t have to be at a job) building web applications with React and Node, with major contributions to project planning and deployment. * Ideally — you have something to show for this experience, such as a portfolio site, or a GitHub profile with open source projects or contributions. * ⚡️ You've created server-side functionality using best practices, and understand how to build systems by yourself. ## What the job involves * You'll have a high degree of autonomy to work on new features across our stack. * We like to iterate on our product quickly, so you'll be prototyping and releasing rapidly. * Because we're a nimble and ambitious, you'll see how the whole business works, as well as talking to our customers. * If it's a good fit for you, you are in a great position to manage others as we grow our engineering team further. P.S. There'll be time for fun, hacky things like building features with novel web technologies, and exploring technically ambitious demos. ## Our stack * We work exclusively with TypeScript on both the back and front end. * Most stuff runs on a Next.js monolith, hosted on Vercel. * We use Drizzle + Postgres for our database, hosted on Neon.
