**Who We Are**

C-Change Labs is an unusual company. We fight carbon emissions to make our world a better and safer place — and we do it with technology and science.

We help the construction ecosystem accelerate its shift to sustainability with our EC3 tool, described as “the Tesla of sustainability” at COP26, which we develop for the non-profit BuildingTransparency.org. Our policy of free access, open APIs, and solid science has made BuildingTransparency and C-Change Labs the partners of choice for global firms with sustainability goals in construction.

**What We Do**

We build tools for construction ecosystem to have visibility into carbon emissions and sustainability side of things. For example, with our tool an architects bureau can keep in mind what is the environmental footprint of their new project, or a construction conglomerate can see into details of how this very steel bar they use has been produced. Has it been produced burning coal in ineffective small-scale factories, or with cleaner, more modern process? How does this choice affect the cost? What can be the benefit?

And this is the question we want them to ask. With this kind of question the sustainability and environmental factors of the construction are getting into the agenda and become weighing factors.

C-Change Labs provides data for this where and when it is needed.

**Benefits**

Professional Growth

We maintain an open culture. Achievements are appreciated; achievements over your role and helping your co-workers succeed are key to advancement. Mistakes are expected, and are to be openly discussed and learned from. Honesty is an absolute requirement.

You will be surrounded by a group of passionate engineers who are happy to participate in technical discussions.

Access to advice: You need it — you ask for it. People around will help. We expect you to help your co-workers in the same way.

There will be opportunities to lead projects, mentor junior devs, and expand your skill-set if desired.

Working Space

We are an all-remote team so there is no traditional office space. However we will be happy to help you organize an effective working space:
- We will provide a decent workstation (laptop, monitor, accessories, software) and any necessary equipment (e.g. desk, chair) for you to work safely and comfortably.
- If you prefer to work from an office, we will cover reasonable co-working expenses.

Health & Wellness

We offer competitive benefits for all staff. They are structured differently in each country; in Canada we offer extended health and dental benefits through Manulife.

Time

We encourage a healthy work/life balance: we do not believe routine overtime is a good way to do business.

All roles get at least three weeks paid time off, as well as paid sick leave.

Money

Competitive compensation matching the market. Compensation reviews are tied to your growth and improvement

Short Decision Making Chain

Every team member is a direct contact with CEO and CTO so there is no long decision making process and it is easy to escalate issue if any.
