About the company

Rize is an agri-tech climate startup focused on decarbonising rice cultivation in Asia while improving farmer livelihoods. The company runs field operations (agronomists and on-the-ground programs) alongside a software and fintech platform that supports adoption of climate-smart practices such as Alternate Wetting and Drying. Rize publicly positions the work across Indonesia and Vietnam, with expansion plans including India. Hiring spans software, product, operations, agronomy, carbon projects, and finance.

Locations and presence

Rize is headquartered in Singapore and shows active operations in Indonesia (Jakarta/Java) and Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City/Mekong Delta), with hiring also appearing for India (Bangalore). Public updates and role locations point to a multi-country operating model across Southeast Asia.

Palpable Score

47.4

/ 100

Rize offers some realistic early-career entry points, especially in field and operations-adjacent roles, but most hiring still leans experienced and specialist. The company’s hiring process and pay details are not consistently transparent in public postings, and there is very little published evidence of junior progression and retention.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

12.5

/ 20

The company lists multiple roles that sit within early-career reach, including roles marked around 1–3 years and “up to 3 years” in engineering and agronomy.

Rize shows recurring hiring across functions (product, engineering, agronomy, finance, QA, field operations), which creates more than one route in for graduates.

The company still has many roles pegged at 5+ and 7+ years, so entry-level access is present but not the default.

‍

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

9.8

/ 20

- The company uses a mix of application methods (Google Forms, Airtable, and other ad-hoc links), which can feel inconsistent for candidates.
- Rize does provide unusually detailed role scopes in some postings (responsibilities, requirements, “good to know”), which helps applicants self-screen fairly.
- The company does not publish a standard interview map, timelines, or what assessments to expect, and at least one role relies on a “video JD” rather than a conventional structured process description.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

10.8

/ 20

The company describes a mostly-remote setup in at least one role and calls out the need for strong day-to-day communication, which matters for early-career ramping.

Rize shows learning-by-doing potential through roles embedded in real field operations and climate project delivery across multiple countries.

The company does not publicly commit to concrete early-career support mechanics like onboarding plans, buddy systems, 1:1 cadence, or structured feedback cycles.

‍

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

7.5

/ 20

The company does not publish clear salary ranges in the role pages reviewed, which caps pay fairness confidence for early-career candidates.
Rize offers some roles as contract and others as full-time, but the public materials do not consistently spell out benefits and stability details.
The company signals “salary” fields across many roles, yet the absence of visible ranges makes it hard to judge whether pay is market-aligned for juniors.

‍

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

6.8

/ 20

The company does not publish early-career outcomes such as promotion timelines, internship conversion, or 12–24 month retention figures.
Rize shares operational impact milestones (farmers reached, hectares under management, methane reduction targets), but these do not translate into observable junior progression signals.
The company has a growing employee footprint on public profiles, but that is not the same as verifiable evidence that early-career hires progress and stay.
