CarbonChain application questions — all 8, word for word
CarbonChain hires through Greenhouse. Beyond name, email and CV, its application form asks 8 questions, 6 of them required. 2 of them are required, fixed-choice questions about your eligibility to work. A cover letter is optional.
12 roles were open when this was last checked, mostly in sales and engineering. The questions below are the form's own wording, not a paraphrase.
What CarbonChain has open
These are the roles the form was read from, as CarbonChain titles them, in London, UK, London:
- Executive Assistant & Office Manager (Climate Tech)
- Head of Talent Acquisition (6-month contract)
- Staff Software Engineer
- Events Marketing Manager
- Junior Data Engineer
- Account Executive 2026
- Senior (Enterprise) Account Executive 2026

5 of the questions below are ones at most two of the 213 employers measured ask (median: 18), the least standard being “Can you provide an example of a time when you saw an opportunity to push for a more ambitious solution to an important problem.”.
The eligibility questions
These are required, and answered from a fixed list rather than in your own words: work authorisation, visa sponsorship or security clearance. Employers often use questions like these to filter applications automatically, but Greenhouse's public data does not say whether CarbonChain does — so treat them as the answers most likely to matter, not as a verdict. Answer them honestly either way.

Before you apply
Have the answers to the required questions ready before you open the form — CarbonChain's asks for 6 of them, and Greenhouse does not save a partial application by default. Settle the eligibility questions first — they are the ones with no room to elaborate, so knowing your answer before you start tells you whether the rest of the form is worth your time.
