We are looking for a talented technologist to join our team and lead the development of our award-winning Balancing Act budget simulation. Balancing Act is a SaaS-based tool in use by more than 60 governments to communicate with residents about spending and revenues, and to get informed input on how government should spend taxpayer money. Clients include the cities of Denver, San Jose and Nashville. The software has earned our company a place on the GovTech100 for the last three years.
You will be joining a small team composed of public engagement experts who seek to realize the potential for technology to transform the ways that citizens interact with government. You would be a senior member of the team and would be responsible for maintaining the current tool as well as designing and building new features. At least for now, you would be the only technologist employed by the company, but would have access to the original developers who built and maintained the current code base as well as the ability to hire contractors as needed. We expect to grow over the next three years and will be adding to our staff to accommodate.
The successful candidate can expect competitive salary, bonuses, benefits and ownership shares in the company.
We have a fun office in a historic building in Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. It is dog-friendly and has a place to park your bike and take a shower. If you get around on four wheels we’ll get you a parking space or an EcoPass. You will have lots of flexibility in how you get your work done, and have the option to work from home whenever appropriate.
You can try a budget simulation here . If you want to see what your work would look like on TV, take a look at this video loop .
