Urban Insight (www.urbaninsight.com) is a Los Angeles-based web development firm with 12 team members that builds web applications for the urban planning and academic communities. We take on cutting edge, challenging projects for appreciative clients, and have a supportive and team-based approach to projects.
- We develop web applications using both LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl) and Microsoft platforms, depending on the needs of the project. Team members have the ability to cross-train and work on projects in both environments.
- We offer a casual (jeans and t-shirts are generally ok, unless we have visitors) and flexible working environment with plenty of opportunities for growth for the right candidate.
- Team members have the opportunity to be involved in all phases of the business that interest them, and encouraged to be entrepreneurial.
- Team members work with two LCD monitors, the latest hardware and software.
- We offer free snacks and beverages all day long. (And if that's not enough, Black Dog Coffee shop is located in the lobby.)
- Twice each month we have catered Lunch 'n Learn Friday lunches.
- Our office is located in the heart of sunny Los Angeles in the walkable Museum Square area of Los Angeles, just three blocks from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and less than a mile from The Grove.
- Because we have a diversity of projects -- both large and small -- team members have the opportunity to be exposed to a wide range of different types of projects, and projects change every few months.
- We're not just all about work. We have regular social events (Photos).
