Careers
Small team. Unusually concrete work.
5 open roles. Everyone here talks to building departments, contractors and homeowners — including the people who write the software.
Open roles
Own the relationship with the cities, villages and counties that deploy GovCodex to their residents. You will run onboarding for a new jurisdiction, train counter staff, and turn what you hear in those offices into product requirements.
WHAT YOU WILL DO- Onboard new municipal accounts from signed agreement to live resident traffic
- Train zoning and building staff, and build the short internal docs they actually use
- Track permit volume and resident deflection, and report it back to city leadership
- Bring recurring friction to product weekly with the specific ordinance behind it
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR- Three or more years in customer success, local government, or planning and permitting
- Comfort presenting to a city administrator and a counter clerk in the same afternoon
- Patience for public-sector procurement timelines
- Willingness to read an ordinance closely
Apply for this rolePOSTED AUG 4, 2026The first human a homeowner or contractor reaches when a permit check does not match what their inspector told them. You resolve it, then make sure the underlying record gets fixed.
WHAT YOU WILL DO- Answer support conversations from homeowners, builders and developers
- Reproduce disputed findings and route bad records to the coverage team
- Write the help-center answers for the questions that keep coming back
- Run onboarding calls for Pro accounts working several jurisdictions
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR- One or more years in support, permitting, construction admin or a trade office
- Clear plain-language writing — no jargon, no bluster
- Enough construction literacy to read a site plan
- Genuine interest in getting the answer right rather than closing the ticket

- Run discovery on permit volume, staffing and revenue leakage
- Navigate RFPs, budget cycles and council approval
- Partner with customer success so what you sold is what gets deployed
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR- Three or more years selling into public sector, civic tech, or construction software
- Track record closing deals with a long committee-driven cycle
- Ability to talk credibly about permit fees and department workload
- Based in or near Wisconsin, Illinois or Minnesota
Apply for this rolePOSTED JUL 28, 2026Decide which partnerships expand coverage fastest — county GIS offices, state associations, permit software vendors, title and insurance data providers — and then go build them.
WHAT YOU WILL DO- Source and close data and distribution partnerships that widen published coverage
- Build relationships with state municipal leagues and county associations
- Negotiate data-sharing terms alongside legal and engineering
- Own the model for which state we enter next, and why
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR- Five or more years in partnerships, BD or corporate development
- Experience with data licensing or public-records agreements
- Comfort being the first GovCodex person in a new state
- Judgment about which partnerships to walk away from
Apply for this rolePOSTED AUG 18, 2026Spend a summer turning municipal code into structured data. You will read real ordinances, extract the standards that govern real projects, and see your work show up in findings people rely on.
WHAT YOU WILL DO- Extract dimensional standards, overlays and permit triggers from municipal code
- Verify records against the official source and log the citation
- Flag ambiguity rather than guessing, and document why it is ambiguous
- Present one coverage improvement to the whole team at the end of the summer
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR- Undergraduate or graduate study in planning, public policy, law, GIS or a related field
- Care about precision in detail work
- Basic spreadsheet fluency; SQL or Python is a bonus, not a requirement
- Interest in how local government actually functions
