Blumen

About Blumen Blumen is rebuilding how America builds infrastructure. There's over $2 trillion in infrastructure projects stuck in regulatory purgatory across the US right now. Every power plant, transmission line, data center, and pipeline faces the same reality: navigating thousands of federal, state, and local regulations through broken government websites, expensive services that miss critical requirements, and bespoke tools that only work in one state. What You’ll Do Call and email municipal, county, and state agencies to collect regulatory and permitting data. Track progress and maintain organized documentation of outreach and findings. Review and upload official documents (ordinances, zoning codes, permit forms). Use judgment to identify what information is relevant for permitting workflows. Work closely with analysts and team leads to close data gaps and clarify inconsistencies. Support quality control and data collection efforts across multiple regions. You’re a Fit If You’re dependable, organized, and detail-oriented. You’re comfortable talking to city and county officials and following up persistently. You take pride in accurate documentation and careful record-keeping. You enjoy research and the satisfaction of finding the right information. You want to contribute to cleaner, faster, more transparent permitting nationwide. Bonus points if you have: Experience in research, operations, or administrative roles. Familiarity with permitting or local government processes. Background in environmental, land-use, or infrastructure work. What We Offer Compensation Hourly pay commensurate with experience (40-hour/week 1099 contract). Growth Exposure to permitting and regulatory systems across the U.S. Mentorship and collaboration with Blumen’s product and research teams. Potential for long-term engagement or full-time conversion. Culture No-ego, get-shit-done team that values diligence and accountability. High-trust, high-ownership work environment. Work remotely or hybrid with our San Francisco HQ. Our values Put yourself in the customer’s shoes. We care deeply about serving our customers above all else. No job is too small. Details matter, even if nobody will ever see them. Every problem is an opportunity. Any solution that is clever, difficult to reproduce, or takes serious guts is an opportunity to widen our moat. To go far, go together. We trust, respect, win, and lose together, as a team. Own the problem. Not your solution. Best idea wins. It doesn’t get easier. We just get faster. There is no finish line. Every day is a step toward compounding success. This is a marathon toward excellence.
