Joatu careers

JoatU (Jack of all trades Universe) is a platform for incentivizing hyperlocal community action and getting to know your neighbors. There are two halves to this: projects and trades.

For example, the members of a community may want to plant a community garden. Someone creates a project and requests volunteers. At a certain place and time, the people come together and do whatever action is needed. All participants are then rewarded in CAPS: Community Action Points which are automatically generated from project work. Initially 1 hour of work = 15 CAPS.

What can you do with CAPS? This is where the trades come in: people can post requests for things they need and offers for things they have. For example, I might be able to shovel a sidewalk and so I offer to do this for 5 CAPS (this amount does not need to match the same 1:15 ratio for projects). Or I might want help with a problem on my computer, so I offer 20 CAPS to anyone who can resolve the problem.
