Job description
Build and ship a real SaaS platform—fast—while owning product end to end.
This is a PE-backed technology company that helps state and local governments turn complex geographic and operational data into actionable insight. Historically known for high-impact GIS and data consulting, the company is now intentionally shifting toward a scalable, product-led SaaS model, building platforms that enable customers to self-serve rather than rely on custom services. It operates at the intersection of data platforms, APIs, and public-sector use cases, with deep domain expertise already in-house and a clear mandate to simplify, productize, and monetize existing tools. The next phase of growth is focused on transforming a strong services foundation into repeatable software products that drive durable, recurring revenue.
