The Mission
Global Changer helps large enterprises measure and reduce their Scope 3 (supply chain) emissions - the most complex and impactful part of corporate decarbonization. At the core of this is CCF (Corporate Carbon Footprint): scientifically accurate auditable carbon calculations across millions of supplier data points.
Our platform processes large volumes of transactional supplier and emissions data for global customers and turns them into actionable reduction insights. Technically were modernizing a Ruby on Rails monolith toward a Go-based service-oriented architecture while building data pipelines and AI-supported workflows to scale accuracy speed and usability.

they fulfill around 60% of the criteria on average. Women and other
members of marginalized groups on the other hand often only apply if
they meet every single criterion. So if you think you have the
potential but dont exactly meet every point in the job description
apply anyway. Applicants of all ages are welcome.
