This is a rare opportunity to influence positive change within one of the biggest societal challenges of our generation: sustainable public infrastructure.

We live at the cross section of infrastructure, scaleup and data science/AI. There is no other team like us in Toronto.
There is no corporate bureaucracy here. You will accomplish more here in a few months than what you would in a few years at a large, entrenched technology company.
We believe that Data and AI will play an outsized role in our future, so we equip every team member with access to Generative AI tools and our full Data Universe to enhance their productivity and encourage innovation through experimentation.
We are proud to offer every CityZen an internal mentorship program, in-role professional growth, skill-based development & learning, and internal promotion opportunities.
We work hard, we play together, we win as a team! We are on a mission to solve infrastructure while savoring the moment and celebrating the little details along the way.
