Job Opportunity: Controller

Controller

The Company is re-inventing the way cities listen to, understand, and interact with their citizens. The Company platform is a decision-supporting tool for understanding people in the city on a wide scale. With the use of advanced AI algorithms, we analyze data from social media, city hotlines, and many other sources, and provide local government stakeholders with detailed insights about how their citizens view and use the city. Basically it’s like “google analytics” for a city.
