How to Apply for Full Stack Developer

at veritree

🏢 About veritree

veritree is a tech-driven environmental verification platform with the ambitious mission to plant 1 billion trees by 2030. Unlike generic tech companies, veritree combines cutting-edge technology with tangible environmental impact, using data verification to ensure every tree planted is tracked and validated. Working here means contributing directly to climate solutions while building scalable verification systems.

About This Role

As a Full Stack Developer at veritree, you'll build and maintain the core verification platform that tracks tree planting projects globally. This role involves developing both front-end interfaces for partners and back-end services that handle environmental data, directly supporting the company's mission to scale transparent reforestation. Your work will ensure the reliability of systems that verify millions of trees.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves collaborating with the product team to implement new verification features, writing and testing full-stack code (likely TypeScript with React front-end and Node.js back-end), optimizing database queries for tree tracking data, and deploying updates to AWS infrastructure. You'll balance building new functionality with maintaining existing services that ensure accurate environmental data verification.
