Our mission

We are Toco, a company driven by a passion to combat climate change by revolutionising archaic aspects of the global financial system. Our mission is to create a new era of environmental consciousness and action through the introduction of Tocos, a groundbreaking carbon currency. Tocos represents one tonne of carbon dioxide that has been removed from the atmosphere, giving individuals and businesses a tangible way to offset their carbon footprint and contribute to a sustainable future.

At Toco, we believe that traditional political and economic structures have fallen short in addressing the urgent climate crisis. Our innovative approach breaks free from the limitations of the past and empowers people to take climate action into their own hands. By uniting as a civil community, we can redefine the nature of money, challenge conventions, and lead the way where others have failed.

Our tech culture

The culture is built around transparency, trust and extreme candour. Our way of working embraces “work-from-anywhere” and responsible leave (i.e. be responsible and take as much leave as you need) whilst encouraging people to have fun and extract meaning from their work; being aligned to the purpose of the company is extremely important to us.

We are a product led company with cross functional teams. From an engineering perspective we want our engineers to be full stack and supported by a platform engineering team to optimise their developer experience and productivity. Lots of trust is extended to engineers to let them grow, experiment, be creative, make mistakes and learn from these. We prefer small teams and aim to keep a very high bar when hiring engineers; we expect engineers both senior and junior to be deep thinkers, adept problem solvers, customer focused, investment minded and know how and when to take a pragmatic vs purist approach.

Position overview

We are searching for a visionary and experienced individual to lead our Data Engineering and Analytics function in order to pioneer the establishment and expansion of a modern data stack. This essential role at Toco encapsulates a unique blend of data engineering, analytics engineering, and data analytics within the dynamic context of an early stage but rapidly growing startup.

In this role, you will weave together disparate strands of data and transform them into actionable insights that shape our operations and strategic decision making. You will simultaneously navigate the intricate landscape of data engineering, untangling complex data problems, while also diving deep into analytics to extract valuable insights that power our fight against climate change. The robust fusion of these diverse roles will require agility, technical adeptness, strategic thinking, and the ability to manage multiple tasks and projects concurrently. As the company and team grows we will be able to hire individuals with more specialised skills, but early on we essentially need a very strong T-shaped individual who is comfortable wearing multiple hats within the realms of data and analytics.

Join us at Toco, where you will have the unique opportunity to help build a carbon-conscious economy, influence strategic decisions with data-driven insights, and pioneer the creation of a modern data stack. This role will not only challenge you but will also offer you the satisfaction of seeing your efforts materialise in a real-world, high-impact scenario. Let's revolutionise finance and empower global citizens to make a real difference, together.

The role is remote and candidates can be based 4 hours either side of Central European Time. The candidate will report into the CTO.
