About Winnow
Winnow is developing cutting edge technology to tackle the $1 trillion global food waste problem by transforming the way we produce food.
Established in 2013, we are currently operating in over 70 countries, and we are just at the start of our journey.
As the global leader in addressing food waste, we are committed to continuing to push the envelope on what technology can do to solve this problem. For example, Winnow Vision, our artificial intelligence-based technology, is trained to automatically track all food waste thrown away. It has won awards at the World Economic Forum and has been received tremendous enthusiasm from our clients and the industry. You can read more about it on our website.
Other recent accolades saw Winnow listed in the 2025 Sunday Times Best Places to Work - a recognition based on feedback from our UK team. While this award is based in the UK, it reflects something global: a culture built on purpose, collaboration, and the belief that businesses can - and should - tackle real-world problems while being great places to work.
At Winnow, technology is more than code, it is a force for environmental change. If you want to apply your coding skills to solve real-world problems and contribute to a more sustainable future, we would love to hear from you.
