Job Description:

Job Description UrbanFootprint is the world's first Urban Intelligence Platform. We provide critical intelligence to the institutions that are rebuilding the world's infrastructure. Where does the energy sector invest in electrification, decarbonization, and asset hardening in the face of climate threats? Where do cities and businesses invest to catch up with e-commerce, last-mile delivery, and new mobility? Where do governments deploy relief and new infrastructure to combat record hunger, homelessness, and hazard vulnerability? UrbanFootprint is 'Google Maps for the Modern Enterprise.' We organize, normalize, and align thousands of urban, climate, and community metrics across 120 million US land parcels. The platform delivers targeted insights via dynamic data streams and elegant collaborative web mapping applications. We enable our customers to answer complex questions in minutes versus weeks, months, or years. Our customers include some of the largest energy utilities, major financial institutions, critical government agencies, top urban planning firms, and fast-growing mobility companies. We're growing rapidly in a market with a TAM of $22B, and our competition is old-world manual consulting or outdated software tools that come without the data, the models, or the insights.

UrbanFootprint was named one of the World's Most Innovative companies in 2021, and is on the GovTech 100 list. Our platform was awarded the top spot in FastCo's Innovation by Design competition.
