Job Description

This position is only open to applicants who are based in Victoria or Vancouver, BC, Canada.

On the surface, LOCI has built a new breed of safety training systems that make people smarter and more aware of their surroundings. Behind the scenes, we\xe2\x80\x99re on a mission to change the way people interact with information based on where they are.

The brain is a super powerful spatial computer, and we\xe2\x80\x99re applying our expertise in spatial web, autonomous networks, and virtual world-building to design ways for the brain to interface with place-based information in a naturalistic way. We\xe2\x80\x99re liberating data from the second dimension and creating ways to gamify the world by turning any physical location into its own game generator.

We\xe2\x80\x99re geeked on neuroscience, behavioral psychology, infrastructure, digital identity, data flows, and gamification. We\xe2\x80\x99re constantly thinking about how to influence behaviour through learning to help people be more aware of their surroundings and able to respond effectively in emergency situations. We care about accessibility, inclusion, and representation because we believe every single person on earth deserves to be safe and have the opportunity to thrive.

We\xe2\x80\x99re looking for someone whose passion and curiosity intersect with ours, and who can join a small team (plays well with others) and grow with us (an excess of personal accountability).
