Lead frontend developer

Salary Competitive
Equity To be negotiated

We’re looking for a front-end developer with an eye for UX design.

At The Ontology Way we fight climate change by helping our customers track and reduce their emissions. Our software provides an intuitive understanding of any company’s emissions through clear visualizations, analyses and explorable structures. This understanding helps companies drive initiatives to reduce their emissions where they can have the most impact. At the heart of our solution lies a whole-company digital twin and streamlining the data collection process. We serve our customers through a SaaS offering. Our immediate focus is launching the product as a pilot, and we want to extend the team.

We’re looking for a front-end developer to blow life into our emission-tracking application to give our customers the data and support they need to reduce their emissions. You should put customer value first and have professional experience in front-end frameworks like react/node.js/vue.js. A bonus if you enjoy data visualization with, for example, d3.js. You should be able to fill in the gaps and implement a design without having full specs.

You’ll work closely with customers, product owners and designers to help shape the product into the best emission-reduction tool on the planet.


We value:

  • Openness to new ideas and technology

  • Putting others first

  • Incremental improvement


What we offer:

  • A real possibility to change the world for the better.

  • Great influence over the software foundation.

  • A creative environment with a focus on innovation.

  • A decent salary and equity in the company.

  • An open-minded and relaxed atmosphere where any thought can be ventilated and discussed.

  • A workplace where the well-being of the team is highly prioritized.


Our journey is at an early stage; we are currently just a few employees and we've just received initial funding, but in the future, we see ourselves as a global SaaS company, facilitating business collaboration to accelerate all the UN sustainable development goals. Our first focus, however, is Responsible Consumption and Production (12), Climate Action (13) and Partnership for the Goals (17).

Sustainability permeates everything we do, from how we furnish our office and encourage our employees to be their whole selves to how we design our license model and choose our KPIs. We believe in a flat organization inspired by Teal principles and an infinite game!

Working at
The Ontology Way

At The Ontology Way we develop state of the art software technology that helps businesses reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. To reduce emissions, we need to direct the efforts to where it makes most impact. To do this we need better analytics, which in turn rely on better data. 62% of companies use spreadsheets to handle their climate data so the challenges are many and existing reporting tools only solve parts of them. Our software give businesses the capabilities to: • Start quick and easy with the data at hand and drill down in level of detail as the climate work develops. • Connect suppliers and partners to make data collection effortless. Each actor can see and report their business from their own point of view. • Simulate how different actions would impact emissions throughout the entire value chain. What happens to the carbon footprint if the onion/fabric/machine part is purchased from supplier X, rather than supplier Y? Or, How much emissions are avoided if we use electric vehicles in stead of diesel ones? • Collaborate throughout the value chain to reach common goals. Our journey is at an early stage; we've just received initial funding, but in the future, we see ourselves as a global SaaS company, facilitating business collaboration to accelerate all the UN sustainable development goals. Our first focus, however, is Responsible Consumption and Production (12), Climate Action (13) and Partnership for the Goals (17).
