Company mission
To improve recycling efficiency and minimise the environmental impact of waste.
Role
Who you are
- Experience: A proven track record of 5+ years in Software Engineering roles
- Frontend Mastery: 5+ years of proficiency in JavaScript and React (or similar)
- Solid experience with JavaScript (ES6+) and React (hooks, context, component composition)
- Good grasp of modern styling approaches (CSS Modules, CSS-in-JS, Tailwind, or similar) and responsive design
- Experience with state management (Redux, Zustand, RTK Query, or similar) and routing solutions
- Familiarity with front-end build tooling (Webpack/Vite, Babel, linting, formatting, testing frameworks)
- Aware of the boundaries of your own knowledge and how to collaborate with others to complete a task
- Ability to self-organise and prioritise tasks
- Passion for addressing the waste crisis or other environmental issues
Desirable
- Experience with Node.js or full-stack TypeScript, allowing occasional work across the stack
- Familiarity with design systems (Storybook, Chromatic) and accessibility best practices (WCAG, semantic HTML, ARIA)
- Background in experimentation (A/B tests, feature flags) or analytics-driven UX improvements
What the job involves
- Reporting Line: You will report directly to the Head of Software Engineering
- Team Dynamics: You will work within a focused team of at least two direct peers
- Cross-Team Collaboration: You will also regularly interact with the wider company to ensure technical alignment across the organisation
- We leverage a modern, type-safe stack to ensure scalability and performance
- Our frontend is built with React, while the backend runs on Express, with TypeScript used across our entire codebase
- For cloud and infrastructure, we are fully hosted on AWS, utilising services like RDS, Lambda, and Docker
- Data visualisation is handled through D3.js, recharts, and MUI Data Grid, enabling us to work with large volumes of ML data
- We use GitLab for version control and CI/CD, and Figma for design collaboration
- You will play a key role in rebuilding the user interface to support newly identified user groups. This includes a new facility level overview for a quick glance and also a section for power users that really want to drill down into their data. Those are just two examples of current projects
- Build and maintain complex, user-facing features using React (and hooks) with TypeScript, HTML, and modern CSS
- Translate Figma/wireframes into accessible, responsive interfaces that work across modern browsers and devices
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to refine requirements and ship user-centric features
- Integrate REST APIs, handle auth, error states, and real-world edge cases in the UI
- Own performance for your features: measure with Lighthouse/Web Vitals, optimize rendering, bundling, and network usage
- Write automated tests (unit, integration, component) and participate in code reviews to maintain a high-quality codebase
- Contribute to and evolve a shared design system/component library to keep things consistent and reduce duplication
- Start the day with a quick stand-up to align on goals, blockers, and releases with engineers, product, and design
- Spend most of your time designing and implementing React components, pairing when useful, and collaborating in PRs
- Work closely with designers to refine UX details and with backend engineers to shape API contracts as you build features
- Use monitoring tools, analytics, and user feedback to iterate on existing features and improve performance and usability
- Contribute to technical discussions about architecture, testing strategy, and ways to keep the front-end stack modern but stable
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Some 60% of the 2 Billion tonnes of solid waste produced globally each year ends up in open dumps and landfill, causing major environmental impact. While global recycling rates are just 14%, a consequence of inefficient recycling systems, rising labour costs, and strict quality requirements imposed on recycled material. Hence Greyparrot is responding to a major opportunity of applying waste recognition software to boost recycling efficiency, reduce impurities and support scalability.
Greyparrot AI helps companies work in a circular economy by highlighting inefficiencies in sorting at waste facilities. The artificial intelligence vision can spot items on a conveyor belt faster and with better accuracy than a human. Their system automatically identifies different types of waste, providing composition information and analytics to help facilities increase recycling rates.
The opportunity for Greyparrot is clear, and the startup’s goal is to become the most accurate and widely used waste recognition software, unlocking the financial value of waste whilst having a measurable impact on the environment.
