    Watch our CEO Alexander Gillett discuss what we are doing here

    The Role

    The engineering team is at the center of operations at HowGood. We build the application used by our Fortune 500 customers to make critical decisions, and the tools our Research Team uses to work with large pools of data. The work we do enables customers to see the entire universe of sourcing choices and understand their impact within a greater system.

    Our team is currently building and evolving our core features in three key directions. We are expanding the capacity and subject matter of our data ingestion to show change over time in carbon emissions, biodiversity impact, working conditions, and other metrics. We are also enhancing our reporting on sustainability performance, for things like evaluating regulatory compliance globally. Finally, we are building the platform used by suppliers to integrate their inventories into our platform. 

    As the Frontend Engineering Manager you will lead a team of highly skilled engineers to build the user facing application that some of the world’s largest food companies use to achieve their climate goals. This is a high-impact role where you will collaborate with product and design to understand and translate user needs into achievable technical feature requests. You will work with the frontend team to make architectural decisions and define best practices for the codebase. HowGood is looking for smart, motivated software engineers who enjoy taking on complex challenges, work well in dynamic environments, and care about software best practices.
