We’re building something that matters — and we want you to build it with us.

GLYON is on a mission to end textile waste. We’re developing a breakthrough CO₂-powered textile-to-textile recycling technology that transforms polyester-based waste into virgin-quality raw materials, without fossil fuels. Our process is real, lab-proven, and now we’re scaling it up: a pilot plant is coming to life in the Copenhagen area. After the pilot, we are planning to scale to DEMO and full commercial plants with our commercial partner, and we're looking for a passionate, hands-on engineer to join us as Chief Technical Officer & Co-founder to lead that journey.

This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of deep tech, sustainability, and real-world impact, in a space that’s attracting attention from major industry players and brands across the globe.
