- Bureau à Sheffield
We can't hire everyone… but we can help them shine somewhere brilliant.
At Octopus, we're lucky to attract some incredibly talented humans. And while we can’t bring every talented person into our team, we can help them land somewhere that’s just as mission-driven. That’s why we’re sharing opportunities from MOPO; a company we’ve proudly backed through a strategic investment.
MOPO is transforming access to clean, affordable energy across Sub-Saharan Africa with its pioneering solar battery technology. As part of our partnership to accelerate global electrification and leapfrog dirty fossil fuels, we’re supporting their hunt for exceptional talent. If you share our passion for tech-driven climate solutions, this could be your chance to make a serious impact.
Joining their existing growing Sheffield-based team, you'll be working to match their ambition to radically reimagine transport and energy in Africa through the development of MOPO's core Rental App, as well as supporting the development of the wider MOPO Platform - both critical tools that empower their network of local agents to manage battery distribution and customer relationships across the
continent.
You'll be building and maintaining Android applications that work reliably in challenging connectivity environments, enabling thousands of agents to run their businesses and serve their communities. Your work will directly interface with our MOPO Platform backend, creating
seamless experiences that drive our energy distribution network.
It's an exciting and varied challenge where your code directly impacts lives and livelihoods.
They're looking for a candidate to join our team to enhance our mobile capabilities as they rapidly scale across Africa and to help shape the technical direction of our mobile architecture.
Working location
The role is based primarily in our Sheffield HQ, with up to two days working from home if desired. Occasional international travel to Sub-Saharan Africa is entirely optional, but is something they offer to all of their employees if they are interested.
