ABOUT THE CARBON COUNTS TEAM

Biodiversity is the word for the varied animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, and other life forms that are connected and intertwined within an ecosystem. The more biodiversity, the stronger the ecosystem. We're obsessed with the idea of biodiversity--for the planet, and for the team!

Currently, we're a small, mighty team with different, varied roots in different realms. Some of us have come from entertainment (think Disney). Some from game dev (think EA, Adventure Capitalist, Activision, and Club Penguin). Some from business (think tech start-ups). Some from tech (think Google). Some are in conservation (think Rare.org). All of us are inspired by the possibility of changing the world, one moment, one laugh, one step, one community--one tree at a time.

We know our players will come from all walks of life--and so do we. We're hiring exceptional people from a wide variety of backgrounds--it's the right thing to do and it makes Carbon Counts stronger. If you share our values and love for trees, animals, and nature, please consider applying!
