Your future Company
Circularise is a supply chain traceability start-up founded in The Netherlands in 2016. We believe that end-to-end traceability holds the key to overcoming major challenges that society faces in areas such as Circular Economy, Environmental Pollution and Carbon Emissions. Therefore, it’s our mission to bring traceability to global supply chains and to accelerate world’s transition to a Circular Economy.
Circularise is disrupting industries by changing how companies trace their products and materials and share information about them, enabling sustainable practices at an unprecedented level. We achieve that with a blockchain-based open protocol that enables sharing of information about products and materials while retaining privacy over sensitive information.
We are not your typical startup and would love to invite you to get involved. You can learn more about Circularise at circularise.com/latest or check out our whitepaper.
How will you be able to make such a big impact in this role?
In the integration space, you will be the first to join us and build our team's ability to produce high-quality integrations between our own SaaS and our customers' software systems.
Actually, the integrations you would work on ensure the effectiveness of our entire business idea: at Circularise we build software that removes data silos and increases transparency in supply chain information transmission and material traceability. We believe that end-to-end traceability holds the key to overcoming major challenges that today’s society faces in areas such as Circular Economy, Environmental Pollution and Carbon Emissions.
Leveraging our software through these integrations is an important part of our customers' strategic goals, too. Usually, our customers are high-impact enterprise companies in the chemical space. They operate at some point of the supply chain of, for example, the oil, car or battery industry.
By integrating their software systems to ours, they can ensure they remain compliant with different regulations, and have access to quality data so they can make better informed decisions. Ultimately this helps our customers to reach their sustainability targets, increase recyclability and circulation of materials. What is more, this is very important to high-value brands as well: how to back up their statements and create trust with their consumers? With our software, the brands can create transparency in their sustainability statements upstream the supply chain, and communicate about them openly.
