Jnr Chemist

Join us in advancing the chemistry that sits at the heart of our Direct Air Capture technology. As a Junior Scientist on the Kinetics & Solvent team, you'll run lab-scale experiments that directly inform how we develop and optimise our solvent systems — working at the intersection of chemistry, electrochemistry, and material science.

What you'll do

• Run lab-scale experiments to develop and test solvent systems.
• Analyse reaction kinetics and translate results into actionable insights for the R&D team.
• Maintain rigorous documentation, protocols, and a safe lab environment.

What you'll need

• Msc. in Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Material science or related field with solid hands-on lab experience
• Independent and rigorous in wet lab work and analytical techniques (spectroscopy, chromatography, electrochemical characterisation)
• Asks critical scientific questions — you challenge assumptions, not just execute protocols
• Strong experimental track record: designing, running, and troubleshooting with minimal supervision.
• Valid Work Permit for Germany, or able to obtain a permit

Nice to have

• Thinks in systems and owns outcomes — not just tasks
• Fast learner who quickly grasps complex topics and stays curious about the problem, not just the solution
• Combines scientific rigour with pragmatic, hands-on, build-and-learn instincts

What they offer

• Contribution to a first-of-a-kind climate-tech project with steep learning curve and cross-functional exposure
• Competitive compensation and employee stock options
• Learning and development budget
• Subsidized BVG ticket and laptop with individual work setup
• Regular team events
