Job Description

About Us

We are a mapping technology startup with a new approach to location sharing. Our founder, with a strong technical background, has developed the initial product, identified early customers, and obtained funding to expand the team.

The Opportunity

Join us to work on an innovative product with exciting use cases, including improving lives in developing countries. If you are passionate about geography and aspire to make a meaningful impact, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of potentially disruptive technology.

Role Overview

Foundation Building

: Establish robust Git workflows, documentation, and procedures to support a growing development team.

App Maintenance

: Optionally maintain a lightweight app version using a shared codebase, potentially with React. More likely, you'll collaborate with a Flutter developer to host data for both web and mobile.

The Current Product

: Our product is primarily front-end and emphasizes simplicity and scalability, utilising MapLibre to serve static vector map data with PMTiles.

Upcoming Features

:

Tutorials to enhance user onboarding. New features like search and points of interest (POI). Development of backend databases and APIs. Modular code for seamless integration by partners. Continuous improvement of performance and user experience.

Work Environment

Location

: London-based, with full remote work considered for the perfect candidate.

Work Dynamics

Be part of a dynamic startup where your input will shape the company's culture and direction. Expect a supportive and collaborative environment, led by an enthusiastic and passionate founder. Bonus: Occasional opportunities to playtest his board games!

Additional Information
