Diversity is essential to our success. Representation and diverse perspectives make for better, more innovative technology.
Our vision is a circular carbon economy–one in which we have enough carbon above ground to make everything we need and the technology and infrastructure in place to keep that carbon in circulation.
Be part of this revolution to slow climate change! We are looking for scientists, engineers, and research associates across multiple disciplines. Not a scientist? Join our Finance, Government Relations, Human Resources, Legal or Operations teams! We each have a part to play when it comes to saving our planet and reaching a post-pollution reality.
Take personal responsibility for getting results the right way. When things go wrong (and they will!), course correct, communicate and own it.
Foster a learning environment that focuses on continuous improvement. Be open to new ideas and develop and apply creative solutions.
Work as a team to resolve challenges and achieve goals. Play three dimensional chess and think five steps ahead. Build and maintain strong, trust-based relationships with colleagues and stakeholders. Look to remove complexity and simplify everything we do. Act with intent to deliver.
Demonstrate that you care for each others’ safety every day and create that environment. Empower others and create an environment that enables everyone to be the best they can be. Respect diversity and be inclusive in everything you do be open to other cultures. Differences make us stronger.
