Web Developer (Front-end Focused)
High Street is a consulting firm that builds state-of-the-art digital applications for public agency owners of America’s transportation system. We are known nationally for creating cutting edge, data-driven solutions deployed by our clients to help overcome complex policy and planning challenges. If you are a self-driven web developer looking for an out-of-the-ordinary job where you get to make a difference by helping to solve some of the country’s toughest public policy challenges, High Street is the place for you! Members of our team can live/work where they choose, and we never churn out ‘cookie cutter’ work. Above all, we prize multi-disciplinary collaboration on every project across our diverse group of developers, data scientists, policy experts and planners to craft creative and effective solutions that delight our clients.
Examples of how High Street’s team is making a difference with our work include the online searchable inventory we’re building to help Texans knit together the contents of local bike and pedestrian plans across the state and catalyze investment in bike-friendly infrastructure or the machine learning work we are doing to help a DOT catalogue the locations of important safety features like guardrails using 2.5 million images. We want to hear from you if you think you’d be a good fit for these kinds of projects and more.
