🏢 About Chooose

Chooose is at the forefront of the energy transition, building software that powers the lower carbon fuel value chain. The company's mission-driven approach and remote-first culture offer a unique opportunity to directly contribute to reducing carbon emissions in the transportation sector.

About This Role

As a General Application candidate, you have the chance to shape your role around your unique skills and the company's needs. This role is impactful because you'll be joining a fast-growing climate tech startup where your work will directly accelerate the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel and other low-carbon fuels.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a team stand-up on Slack or Zoom, followed by deep work on a project like refining a product feature for carbon tracking. After lunch, you might join a cross-functional meeting with sales to discuss customer feedback, then wrap up by researching industry trends or updating documentation.

🎯 Who Chooose Is Looking For

  • Passionate about climate tech and the energy transition, with a clear understanding of the challenges in scaling lower carbon fuels.
  • Self-starter who thrives in a remote, fast-paced startup environment and can take initiative without constant direction.
  • Strong communicator and collaborator, able to work cross-functionally with engineering, sales, and operations teams.
  • Adaptable and eager to wear multiple hats, from strategy to execution, as the company grows.

4

Demonstrate your remote work readiness by citing examples of self-management and async communication tools you've used.

5

Research Chooose's recent partnerships or product launches and reference them in your application to show genuine interest.
