About 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 2020 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).

What you will be doing

Be part of forming the Empower platform into a flexible and robust system. Help design and create architecture for everything from big picture features to low-level internal details.

You will be doing a little bit of everything. Coding full-stack. Make architectural decisions. And everything in between.

This job is for someone who thrives on a hectic, but exciting, technical environment in development. It is for someone who wants to create and have an integral role in creating something bigger than themselves.

More concretely:

• Be part of the architectural design process

• Help plan products together with "stakeholders"

• Code in the entire stack (Web Front-end → Microservice Back-end (Java/Kotlin based today)

Our Tech Stack

This are just some key words of tech we have in our stack

• Micro Services: Kotlin (with Spring)

• Vue (+ a bit of Angular 7)

• Flutter

• Kubernetes

• Google Cloud

• MongoDB

• Blockchain (Stellar, ++)

• RabbitMQ

Culture

We are a startup, and as such we are still finding our way. We are doing many projects and pilots. This means that things are happening quickly and we are moving fast.

But for that to work we need to trust each other. This is not a place where you will be micro managed and watched - but where mutual trust is key for our success.

What does this mean? Some key words that might help you understand what we expect:

• Genuine

• Trusts others

• Self-driven and takes initiative

• Energetic

• Speaks up

We also like to joke around and have fun. Without humour the world is a grey and boring place :)
