Who we are

Sourceful exists to provide better solutions for the planet by working with businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint through smarter packaging. We are VC-backed (Index Ventures, Eka and Coatue) and most recently raised $20m in 2021.

About the role

• Designing, developing and maintaining efficient, scalable high-quality applications
• Participating in, and/or leading design reviews with peers and stakeholders
• Reviewing code developed by other developers and providing feedback to ensure best practices (e.g., style guidelines, pull requests, accuracy, testability, and efficiency).
• Mentoring and providing guidance to junior team members
• Troubleshooting and debugging complex issues
• Contributing to existing documentation or educational content and adapting content based on product/program updates and user feedback
