Senior Developer

Salary Competitive
Equity To be negotiated

We are creating a solution to the plastic waste problem on a global scale. This is the chance to get in on the ground level to define and create a future where plastic is no longer seen as a problem, but as a resource. The job will be entail a lot of design, architecture and coding. You will be working with new projects and technologies to solve real world problems.


Right now we have the basis of a platform to allow people to sponsor cleanup of plastic waste and for cleaners to get paid. Using Blockchain technology we can issue stable tokens (1 Token = $1) and trace back to sponsors so they can see exactly where their money was used to clean up plastic waste.

Going forward we need to expand this platform, as well as build new platforms for supply chain tracking, soft banking and more. All systems we build are creating a future where people are empowered to solve the problems that we have.

We need someone who can help us:

  • Design new systems
  • Create new solutions for existing platforms
  • Develop/Programming prototypes for pilots
  • Develop/Programming on existing and new systems effeciently

Technologies we are working with today:

  • Angular for web
  • Ionic for mobile
  • Node.js for back-end
  • Blockchain (Stellar for tokens, other systems for supply chain)
  • Google Cloud, Firebase (for a sub-system)
  • MQTT

We will use new technologies for new projects depending on needs and requirements. In other words, we are open to experiment and try new things to improve our systems.

To summarize: We need someone who can help design and develop new and existing systems quickly and who wants to be part of solving big world problems.

Don't expect the highest salaries (but combined with equity should be interesting), but do expect a very interesting job with high speed, greenfield projects and lots of potential for growth.

Working at
Empower

We were founded in February 2018 with the idea that giving plastic a value, we could get it removed from nature. A bit like the bottle deposit system, but for all kinds of plastic! We have gained amazing traction since we started, from being featured in Forbes and The Independent and invited to a panel at the first OECD forum on Blockchain to winning awards and being the only Nordic initiative among the 25 development projects/ SDG solutions selected to be showcased at Expo 2021 Dubai’s Global Best Practice Programme. We have done cleanups and pilots in more than 15 countries, proving that this really does work! Now we are building a global plastic waste ecosystem to incentivize cleanup and track where the plastic ends - most of it ideally back to reuse! The next step is to bring our vision to more places and create a truly innovative system than can help solve some of the big problems with plastic waste (of which there are more than you might imagine).
