We’re a 50-person climate tech startup based in Detroit, MI. We're building a device that captures a semi-truck’s carbon emissions directly from the tailpipe. We'll sell the CO2 to end-users, and share that revenue with our customers, so our device will create a new revenue stream while reducing their emissions.

We've signed up some of the largest companies in the world to pilot our technology, including iconic multibillion-dollar brands, top trucking companies, and some of the most recognizable Fortune 100 companies. We’ve raised multiple rounds of funding from top investors like Lowercarbon Capital, Union Square Ventures, First Round Capital, Y Combinator, and Valor Equity Partners.

Responsibilities

Plan & Develop

• Lead permitting and regulatory approval processes for customer sites.
• Coordinate with AE firms and engineers to design layouts, infrastructure, and system integration plans.
• Develop site plans and training procedures for site operations and maintenance.
• Support business development by identifying opportunities during planning to deepen customer partnerships.

Execute

• Manage deployment activities end-to-end, from permitting through construction, installation, and commissioning.
• Oversee contractors, vendors, and site partners to ensure scope, schedule, and budget targets are met.
• Identify risks early and implement mitigation strategies to avoid project delays or cost impacts.
• Travel frequently to customer sites to oversee execution and resolve challenges.
• Share customer insights with commercial teams to support account growth and expansion.

Collaborate

• Serve as the day-to-day customer-facing contact for deployment projects, providing regular updates and progress reports.
• Partner with internal engineering, EHS, and commercial teams to ensure deployments meet technical and safety standards.
• Work with municipalities, contractors, and regulators to coordinate permitting, construction, and inspections.

Grow

• Help develop scalable processes and playbooks for deployment that can be applied across multiple customer projects.
• Provide resources and training to ensure customers and partners are confident in operating deployed systems.
• Support customer success efforts by surfacing opportunities for long-term engagement and repeat deployments.

Design

• Contribute to process improvements by documenting lessons learned and standardizing practices.
• Ensure technical requirements are aligned with both customer needs and regulatory frameworks.
• Help optimize site deployment models for efficiency and repeatability.

Requirements

Here’s what we value:

• Mission First: We are laser-focused on our mission. We have chosen to take on the defining challenge of our time, and we don’t shy away from the hard decisions required to put our mission first, no matter how tough. The world needs our technology and it won’t happen any time soon if we don’t make it happen. We are a low-ego team, and we prioritize the mission over our self-interest. We think strategically with an eye to the long term, and we clearly separate what must be done well now, and what can be improved later, despite ambiguity.
• Burning Urgency: Our hard-core intensity and work ethic match the crisis we’re in. We have a strong bias toward action, and we execute with focus and speed. In the absence of guidance, we take charge, lead our teammates, and accomplish our goals. We aren’t afraid to change course when something isn’t working, and we find solutions even when it seems like there are none. We are cool under pressure, and our quiet determination and drive are unwavering. We relentlessly push ourselves and each other to improve. We don’t accept adequate performance. Excellence is the expectation. Many would say our standards are unreasonably high, and many would say our goals are unreasonably bold, but we are hungry to be exceptional. We will never give up, no matter what. If we get knocked down, we get back up, every time. We will not fail.
• Uncompromising Honesty: We are always honest with ourselves, our teammates, our customers, our investors, our suppliers, our communities, and all of our partners, especially about what’s not going well and what we don’t know. When we see issues, risks, or challenges, we speak up, and when we make mistakes, we admit them proactively and take full accountability. We challenge others directly when we disagree, even when it’s uncomfortable, and we seek this uncompromising honesty from others.
• Treat People Exceptionally Well:We care intensely about everyone who is on this mission with us, and our standard is exceptional respect for our teammates, partners, and communities. Teammates who bring different perspectives and backgrounds are essential to our success, and we empower everyone to share their voice. We listen to truly understand. We constantly encourage and help our teammates, and inspire each other with our enthusiasm and optimism.
• Joyful Curiosity: We love to learn, and we learn quickly. We explore the unknown with wonder and excitement. We reason from first principles. We generate original ideas with an open mind and test them quickly in the real world. We take risks and adapt as we discover more. We explore many ideas in parallel, and we don’t count on a silver bullet solution. We share our ideas freely with our teammates. We are skeptical about conventional wisdom, and we question every assumption and requirement. We are always looking for ways to simplify. We are rigorous and attentive to detail. We are eager to understand all aspects of our business and technology, and we contribute effectively outside our individual specialties. We never stop learning.
