UI/UX Engineer (Copenhagen)

Responsibly 🌍🌱
Responsibly is a sustainability tech start-up with a vision of making every purchase in the world responsible.
We're founded by serial entrepreneurs with previous successes like Ofload, Dixa, Neurons, and more, and are funded by some of Europe's top VCs and angels.
We’re at the most exciting part of our journey (yet!) where the product is being picked up by some of the biggest companies out there, and we have an incredibly exciting roadmap ahead of us! 🤘
Let’s change the world together 🎯
If you already know why sustainable procurement is sexy, then skip this section, if not, read on!
Look, you probably already know that there are not many bigger problems out there than the climate, but did you know that more than 40% of global emissions, or really any ESG issue, are directly or indirectly impacted by procurement? That’s because companies have an incredible amount of power (‘purchasing power’) when selecting and managing suppliers, so if we can put sustainability on every supplier scorecard out there, we really can change the world.
But it’s hard! A company will have anywhere from 100 - 100,000 suppliers and analyzing each of their sustainability efforts is an impossible task, and most ESG ratings suck.
That’s what we’re trying to change. Responsibly's ai-powered due diligence engine automates the due diligence on every supplier across every single esg data point on your suppliers (from risk and violations to positive actions), and turns that into insights to ultimately help companies build more sustainable supply chains.
Pretty cool right?
(yes, this dorky description was indeed written by an overly excited founder…)
Make complex insights beautifully simple 🌟
We’re growing our engineering team to craft a best-in-class UI/UX experience for the next-generation sustainability due diligence platform, and are looking for that perfect (impossible?) blend of a designer and front-end engineer.
At Responsibly, you’ll work on a design-forward Next.js 15 app that prioritizes speed, usability, and aesthetics. You'll play a key role in shaping interactive, accessible, and visually appealing user interfaces, leveraging modern tools like React, Tailwind CSS, and component libraries like MUI or ShadCN. Your work will directly impact how users interact with and understand sustainability data, making complex insights beautifully simple.
And we don’t just leverage AI for our product—we’re also building a next-generation engineering team where AI-assisted workflows (V0dev, Copilot, Replit Ghostwriter) help us prototype, iterate, and ship faster than ever.
