Co-founder and CTO to join Simple Mobility IVS

Salary Competitive
Equity To be negotiated

Are you passionate about making a positive impact on the world? And do you want to transform mobility as we know it? Simple Mobility wants to show that there is a better alternative to private car ownership. One that doesn’t get you stuck in traffic. One that doesn’t make you late for a meeting because you couldn’t find a parking space. And one that saves you money too. If you think that you are the right CTO & co-founder profile for this voyage don’t hesitate to give us a shout.


You don’t need to have previous experience as a CTO but we expect that you love coding, take pride in your work, and find our wish to “transform mobility as we know it” a goal worth fighting for. In other words we are looking for someone who see an opportunity in growing both their technical and personal skills while making a big impact on the world.

Ideally we prefer that you have experience as a system architect, business architect, solution architect or similar on IT solutions. You have a commercial mindset that will enable you to understand and challenge the further development of the solution. You enjoy taking responsibility. It motivates you to run IT projects and ensure the quality. And you are a good communicator that can communicate complex knowledge to both the development teams and the rest of the partners involved.

Your main objective will be to draw up the architecture of our platform and app with the open platform APIs. We already have 50 test users ready in Helsinki hence the first phase is to build a minimal viable product that enables them to get around Helsinki with our partner services. As of now they are city bikes, bus, train, metro, ferries, two taxi companies, and, at the beginning of 2019, our first shared car service provider.

We will launch Simple Mobility in Helsinki as early as possible in 2019. The development and main office will be in Copenhagen but Helsinki is, for now, the only place where we can get access to an open ticketing platform for public transportation. It is therefore important that you are willing to travel to Helsinki, together with the rest of the team, at least one day every other week for the first year.

Expectations

  • Are self-driven and take ownership
  • Wish to make the world a better place
  • Are motivated by being in an early stage startup

Experience

  • Ideally you are a full stack developer
  • You know about architecting and writing scalable applications
  • You can create databases/cloud solutions

Working at
Simple Mobility IVS

We're an early stage startup launching a platform and app solving two of the biggest pains when employees take work related trips.1. Access to all the best available modes of transportationWith our platform companies simply manage all modes of transportation and customise how employees can use their Simple Mobility account giving them ticketless access to bikes, bus, train, taxis, etc.2. Expense reportingAnd since the app is linked to the platform expense reporting is automatically filed too. Simple Mobility is a Mobility as a Service (MaaS) platform and app. MaaS has been on peoples lips for quite a while. It basically describes a shift away from personally-owned modes of transportation and towards mobility solutions that are consumed as a service. In other words: solutions that let you book everything from a bike, bus, train, taxi, shared car, etc. from a one-stop-platform.In 2018 there has been the first shifts and initiatives of rolling out MaaS platforms together with public transportation in Helsinki. We believe this is the first big leap towards "real" MaaS solutions. Public transportation is the glue that makes it come together. With public transportation included in MaaS platforms there finally is a proper potential to compete and even knock-out private car ownership in cities. In Simple Mobility we believe 2019 is the year this change will come for good. Our platform and app will be part of a wave towards new and innovative platforms delivering seamless door-to-door multimodal transportation solutions. We'll be launching in Helsinki first and then move on to more cities from there.Our solutions is built for companies. We might not outperform private car ownership in our first phase but we will for sure show great alternatives that doesn't acquire parking upon arrival. Doesn't get stuck in traffic jams. And doesn't cost a fortune. It can even be designed around each users personal preferences. We're a couple of passionates who believe this is a shift in a new and very exciting direction. We've already been working with digital solutions and strategic consulting within transportation for the past decade and now we want to lead the direction of a new voyage transforming mobility as we know it. If you are as excited about mobility as we are or just want to know more don't hesitate to reach out.
