Help us build UrbanFootprint!
We believe that a beautiful, engaging experience will allow for smarter, more sustainable cities in the future. UrbanFootprint combines challenges of 2D and 3D map interaction, data visualization, and comparative analytics. Our users have a wide range of technical abilities, from small city planners with minimal geospatial experience to data-hungry power users at large architecture and engineering firms. Other geospatial products are feature rich and often hard to use, but ours is tailored to the planning process.
The UFapp is a single-page, data-rich, map-centric interface. The frontend is built with React, Redux,and MapboxGL, talking to a Python-based API server. We’re looking for developers with experience using modern JS libraries to streamline our development in the browser (e.g. React/Redux, lodash, D3, etc) as well as our team workflow (e.g. Webpack, SASS, etc).
We are funded by top-tier VC, have existing product/services revenue, and are making our first major moves into the market. We are seeking intelligent, hard-working, mission-driven team members to join us in building and scaling UrbanFootprint to serve users across the US and the world.
