About the position

As a Fullstack Engineer at Recursive you will be helping us deploy our AI solutions to our Clients’ systems and to the world at large, helping us with our mission to create technological solutions to the world’s sustainability problems.

We will give you as much responsibility as you want and encourage you to tackle challenging and interesting problems that will help you learn new skills. At the same time, we are looking for a great communicator who can reach out to the team to solve problems in a collaborative way.

  • Proficient in at least one systems language (Python, Java, C++, Go, etc.)
  • Competent with HTML, CSS, Javascript and other frontend technologies
  • Confident and effective communicator, both internally and externally.

Nice to haves
