Job Description
Lead Full-Stack Software Developer
Have you created a successful career in tech and are ready to do something good with your skills and experience? If yes, then join us in our mission to build Open Source software for the climate emergency!
OpenEarth Foundation is a California-based research and deployment non-profit. We create Open Source technology to increase planetary resilience and avoid a catastrophic climate crisis.
We are building open infrastructure for the Paris Agreement, energy finance, biodiversity tracking, and other critical problems.
We are a diverse international team, working with a network of collaborators and partners globally, from the United Nations to startups.
We have funding and a team of experts focused on Earth systems and digital innovation.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it:
As a lead full-stack software developer you will build Web-based digital products to fight climate change and biodiversity loss.
You'll work with others at OEF and partner organizations to build new software or iterate on existing products. You'll collaborate with a product manager to decide what gets done; you'll work with a product designer to decide how interfaces look and behave; and you'll share tasks with other full-stack engineers to build working systems.
The position is remote and international. We're working on the planet's problems and we need the planet's best people to fix them.
Salary Range: $65k-$105k annually
Our salary range for this role is dependent on location and experience. That being said, there is much room for growth in this position and being a small start-up, opportunity for rapid growth is highly likely, but also dependent on performance. Also, anyone that joins this team has the opportunity for real hands-on experience in what could be forefront of climate tech for the foreseeable future.
The following requirements describe our ideal candidate. If you don't meet some of the requirements, you're encouraged to apply anyway. Let us know what's missing and how we can work together to make it up.
OEF is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer. We support diversity, equity and inclusion in teams, and believe people should align their work with their purpose. Join us if you love Earth.
Please apply with your resume with a brief cover letter. The cover letter is an important part of the application. It is your opportunity to show us how your experience and education match our requirements.
We look forward to hearing from you!
