At Greenlyte, we are reshaping the global fuel economy with our novel, IP-protected, direct air capture to fuels technology, which shows superior economic potential compared to existing approaches, even reaching fossil prices. Backed by leading European VCs and with commercial agreement from Lufthansa and MB Energy, we are deploying our first commercial facilities to prove commercial viability in the next 12 months.

Where Ambition Meets Purpose
We are not waiting for change. We are building it together. At Greenlyte, speed and collaboration define how we work. Our culture rewards initiative, learning, and teamwork. If you want to grow fast, take ownership, and shape real impact, this is the place to do it.

You will take on the kind of work that directly influences decisions: structuring complex problems, building high-quality materials, and enabling speed across our project funnel. Working closely with experienced operators, you will not just observe how projects are built: you will actively contribute to how we evaluate opportunities, communicate them, and move them forward in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment.
