Product Builder, Internship (3-6 months) - #2109940

What we do

We build software that helps companies along the food system get to Net Zero.

~31% of global GHG emissions originate from food-related activities. For the first time in history, climate performance has become an overall business performance indicator. Enterprises are mandated by regulatory bodies to disclose their climate performance, which leads to increasing pressure from investors, competitors, retailers, and consumers to prevent and reduce their CO2e emissions. Over the next 10 years, companies have set ambitious reduction targets that need to be met. Enterprise software and new business processes can help.

We raised >€10m in funding in the first 2 years of our existence, we launched our enterprise product, signed and onboarded some of the largest F&B players in Europe, and put together what we believe is the best-suited early stage tech team in Europe. Will you be the next to join us?

What you will work on

Your mission

Help build the V1 of our newest AI-first software product

Over the duration of your internship you will:

• Act like a mini-founder: own your scope, think in systems, push for impact
• Work directly with our users and our product & climate team to deeply understand their problems and workflows
• Prototype and ship features at breakneck speed with the help of "superfan" customers that can give you daily feedback
• Use the newest and most fitting AI tooling
• Build data visualisation and project management features that make complex data feel obvious and actionable
  
  

You might be really good for this role if

• You're a builder at heart — you love prototyping, experimenting, and shipping real stuff
• You're obsessed with the AI tooling out there — not just the mainstream stuff but going deep into the tools, frameworks, and new possibilities
• You worked at early stage technology companies and understand the pace needed to succeed
• You are proficient with no-/low-/AI-coding and state of the art data visualisation tools
• You are hyper curious and don't stop until you feel you are the most knowledgeable about a topic
• You are highly reliable and can organise your work really well.
  
  

You don't feel like you fulfil all the criteria? We get it: confidence can sometimes hold us back from applying for a job. But guess what?! There is no such thing as a 'perfect' candidate. The only thing you need to ensure along the recruiting process and beyond is that the problem that we are solving with Root is one you cannot wait to get out of bed for on Monday morning!

Get Mentored By World-class Company Builders

We decided on our cap table with a clear goal in mind: Set our team up for success. This is why we have selected a diverse group of food industry veterans, generalist company builders, and functional experts to join our journey from day 1. Beyond entrusting us with their capital, our angel investors act as mentors and sparring partners for our early team members in their corresponding roles. You will benefit from:

• A dedicated mentor with whom you will build your personal relationship
• Regular sparring sessions whenever you see fit
• Adhoc Q&A where needed
