Job description

We are a B2C/B2B2C social enterprise that supports people in solving the climate problem with financial confidence. Since we believe that if everyone, anywhere, could take climate action without worrying about their financial security, we could increase our success rate toward the net-zero goal. If we succeed, we will become a B Corporation with 100% renewable energy usage that invites over 900 million individuals to join the climate movement with responsible consumption.

The problem the startup is trying to solve is the most important since it determines the market size, the minimum viable product, and the people a startup needs. Hence, here is a quick introduction to the problem:

Without finance, climate action is unsustainable. When it comes to climate finance, oftentimes, people overemphasize the importance of investment but ignore the importance of long-term market demand.

Primary market investment is critical; however, investment is not a revenue stream. To accelerate the net-zero transition process, we need long-term market demand. And that’s the space where Optivide aspires to create with systems thinking design and regenerative finance.

The minimal unit of our global society is an individual. It’s the people who work, purchase, invest, vote, and advocate that shape our society's future.

To solve the dynamic, complex climate problem, we need stakeholder engagement with different responsibilities. And when global climate progress is slow due to the huge conflict of interests across different stakeholders and generations, we hope that each individual still has the possibility to plan and prepare for the future climate downside.

Not because climate change is important, but because our future lives are important.

Role Description

This is a full-time remote role, where your primary focus will be:

• Set up a regular online office hour session to track the progress, challenges and the outcomes of the current execution.
• Estimate the expected costs, timeline, and challenges for the typescript backend development, GraphQL building, mobile app security, and any other topics related to mobile app development with processes, tools, and knowledge required.
• Develop, maintain and enforce the mobile app development, cross-platform engineering, UI/UX implementation, native integration, database management & ORMs, server-side TypeScript, mobile app security, GraphQL Resolver Performance, API governance, mobile CI/CD pipeline, monitoring & crash reporting, and any other relevant topics.
• Coordinate with the Gen AI professionals for the core AI climate finance service with the interaction design.
• Conduct regular mobile app security audits with the tracking system for the core service quality, cost optimization and experience optimization.
• Notify the key risks and potential failures for specific tasks, and the preparation to mitigate the problem in advance.
• Provide detailed standard operating procedure guidance for all responsibilities. All guidance must be reviewed and confirmed by the Company.

The experience and knowledge above will help us to grow our business with positive social impact.
