Full Stack Developers - Remote Contract

Canada's building sector produces nearly 18% of national emissions, and most of the buildings that will exist in 2050 are already standing today.
The Re

Cover Initiative is building the digital infrastructure needed to transform those buildings through deep energy retrofits at scale. We are developing a suite of data platforms and intelligent tools that help building owners, governments, and engineers:
understand building characteristics at scale
design panelized retrofit solutions
accelerate net-zero building transitions
To do this, we are building an ecosystem of tools powered by a centralized data platform called the Evergreen Database.
We are looking for a Full-Stack Developer who wants to help build the next generation of climate infrastructure software.
Ongoing full-stack web application development and maintenance for Re

Cover's retrofit toolkits.
Build user interfaces and dashboards for building characterization, retrofit analysis, and decision-support tools.
Implement scalable backend services to manage building datasets, retrofit scenarios, and model outputs.
Building Intelligence / Identification tools
Costing and financial analysis tools
Portfolio-scale building analysis platforms

Data Platform Integration
Contribute to the development of Re

Cover's Evergreen SQL database, serving as the central repository for building archetypes, retrofit measures, and research datasets.
Design APIs and services that allow Re

Cover's tools to interact with the data platform.
