OPAS Mobile is a St. John’s-based startup that’s using machine learning to build a ‘Safer, More Productive Workplace’. We work with industrial service providers (think construction, oil & gas and mining) to automate important tasks and eliminate HSEQ risk. Since launching only 14 months ago we’ve gained customers in every province and, recently, in South America.
As a small company with big ambitions, we are seeking driven individuals who want to be a part of our success and see the tangible results of their work every day. This is an exciting time to join our team as we strive to reach 10,000 customers by the end of the year.

The Role
Are you an ambitious junior or intermediate level Backend Developer seeking a new challenge? Look no further!
Our company is seeking a talented individual to join our small team and focus on optimizing and expanding our Apollo Server API. While the API has been developed to date by full stack developers, we are looking for someone who can take ownership of the project and work on it full time.

If you have a passion for backend development and are ready to take on this exciting challenge, we encourage you to apply for this opportunity. Don’t miss out on the chance to be a crucial part of our small and dynamic team.
