Why Join OpenPlans?

Clever People, Meaningful Work

OpenPlans helps cities work better. We’ve launched projects like OpenGeoCivic CommonsTransportationCampStreetfilms, and Streetsblog. We aim to develop open solutions to common problems and contribute back to the communities on which our products and services are based.

We have a top-notch team of inventors, journalists and advocates. Our developers are leaders in relevant open source communities, and we take time to spread the good word via keynotes and other speaking gigs. Outside of work, OpenPlans staff play in bands, start businesses, teach, and run marathons.

  • Health, dental, and vision coverage

Big on Open

Via regular OpenBag lunch talks, we welcome in interesting people to share ideas and seed partnerships. Summertime means OpenRoof events, where happy hour on the deck is also a mingling of the minds. We’re regulars at events like FOSS4G and GOSCON.
