Senior Software Engineer

About us:

It’s been little over a month since we officially launched Headway Cooperative—the world’s first climate tech co-op—and we’re off to a great start!

We’ve already had six incredibly talented, senior-level developers join us as developer-owners in Headway, and we’re opening up another four new developer-owner roles.

Headway provides mission-driven software development for data-driven businesses solving climate change. We are 100% developer owned and operated.

Mission-driven? Data-centric? Product-curious? Come join us as a developer-owner at Headway!

What makes us different:

• Impactful work. We partner with high-impact, high-growth businesses. If you love the work and they love you, we'll place you with them full-time.
• All greenfield. No maintenance. New product development, ground up platform re-builds, AI/ML at scale. We build from start to finish every time.
• 100% developer-owned and operated. We're a co-op so everyone gets an ownership stake and a seat at the table.

Who we’re looking for:

At Headway, we love diving into the unknown, solving the product/business problem through software (not the other way around), and tackling the things others have said can’t be done. We all consider ourselves at least a little bit “product people,” or “product-curious,” if you will.
