WHO WE ARE

Modo’s Purpose is to transform communities by connecting people with places in a way that’s affordable, convenient, inclusive and sustainable. Driven by people – not profit – Modo was the first carshare to open shop in BC back in 1997. We are fueled by our desire to create more livable communities by reducing our collective dependency on car ownership. Our promise is to provide an exceptional carsharing experience.

Modo is a thriving co-op in the fast-paced shared mobility sector. Our employees share a passion for social impact and support one another to do our best. You’ll be making a significant contribution to your community and the shared mobility landscape.

We are seeking a qualified individual to join our Agile coding team to develop Modo’s proprietary software system, which is used by Modo members as well as North American carsharing licensees.
