Careers

Build the removal economy

The first facility is in development, the measurement chain is being wired, and the platform is growing. The people who join now build the parts everyone else will run on.

Why Recarbono

Build what the market will run on

The carbon market is being rebuilt around a single question: can you prove it? Recarbono exists to answer yes. We're engineering durable carbon removal from the ground up in Portugal, and building the proof infrastructure the whole industry will need to trust it.

This is the ground floor, and we're hiring the people who will define what comes next. Join now and you don't inherit a system; you build the one everyone else runs on: the facility that turns local residue into carbon locked away for centuries, the measurement chain that verifies every tonne, and the platform that opens it to developers worldwide. We want people early in their ambition and serious about their craft, who would rather help set the standard than follow one. It's demanding and it's real, and the carbon you help remove stays removed.

What we believe

  • Measured, not asserted

    Honesty is the product. Every claim traces back to a record someone can audit.

  • Under-claim, over-deliver

    When the evidence is uncertain, we claim less. We'd rather be trusted than impressive.

  • See it, own it, drive it

    A small team with wide scope. You own a problem end to end: the reward and the responsibility both.

  • Rooted where we build

    We hire locally first. A facility's value returns to the territory whose residue feeds it.

  • A high bar, kept human

    We hold ourselves to an exacting standard, and still mean to enjoy the work.

What we look for

  • Ownership and grit

    You take a problem end to end and push through the unglamorous middle.

  • Rigour over polish

    You care about getting the number right when no one is watching.

  • Comfort in ambiguity

    You can build where the map isn't drawn yet.

  • Serious about the mission

    You're here for durable carbon removal, not a climate-adjacent job.
