About the Open Supply Hub
<a href="https://info.opensupplyhub.org/">Open Supply Hub (OS Hub)</a> is a free and open data tool mapping retail supply chain facilities worldwide and allocating a unique ID to each. The tool is used by stakeholders across many sectors to eliminate confusion and facilitate collaboration, enable interoperability across systems and tackle the long-standing problem of facility identification. We are built on the principles of "open": open data, open communications patterns, openness to ideas and new ways of working. We are a mission-driven organization and respect and value our stakeholders - they make OS Hub what it is: a tool enabling collaboration across retail sectors.
OS Hub is currently at an exciting period in its growth and development and is looking for a Senior Software Developer to contribute to the technical strategy and implementation of an open data, geospatial tool within the context of a rapidly expanding global nonprofit. Our ideal candidate is mission-driven with a desire to use their development skills to democratize global supply chain data and accelerate the progress towards addressing intractable issues that exist in supply chains - issues like modern day slavery and environmental degradation. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to contribute to the future growth and vision for the tool and must be prepared to &ldquo;roll up their sleeves&rdquo; with a wide variety of tasks. We are scaling quickly and will be hiring new team members throughout 2023.
&nbsp;
Job Description
OS Hub&rsquo;s Senior Software Developer will oversee and be accountable for the technical implementation of OS Hub&rsquo;s web application, mapping tool, and underlying database.

<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Provide leadership in developing a technical vision and strategy to scale our current platform from a database with currently over 140,000 facilities to a platform with potentially millions of facilities, with additional data cleaning, visualization, and integration features.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Balance the immediate need of scaling the platform with the strategic need to position the organization as core infrastructure within the supply chain transparency / ESG ecosystem.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
The position is remote, but we ask that the employee be located between the US central time zone and European central time zone. In addition, the candidate must be residing in a country eligible via Boundless, our employer of record. You can find a comprehensive list at the bottom of the application. This is a full-time, salaried position. Benefits include medical and dental insurance and a generous parental leave and vacation policy.&nbsp;&nbsp;
