About Our Client
Our client is on a mission to transform government technology, empowering public servants to better serve communities across the country. With a vision to close the gap between public and private sector technology, they’re creating modern, intuitive software that government agencies can rely on every day. Since launching in 2023, they’ve partnered with government agencies across 12 states, impacting over 400,000 residents, and secured $5.5 million in funding from Work-Bench and Bienville Capital.
What You’ll Do
- Build a high-impact product that serves cities, counties, and residents nationwide. Our client’s software is the primary workspace and system of record for government staff, used eight hours a day, five days a week. You’ll see your work’s direct impact, getting immediate feedback from users as each new feature launches.
- Make a difference in an underserved industry. Transparent, effective government benefits everyone, but most cities and counties lack the tools to deliver it. Our client is changing that.
