Note: Hiring for this position is contingent on funding for the A11ySpaces App.

The Role

At the heart of A11ySpaces is our database. We need a Data Analyst who can translate “legalese” and complex building codes into structured data. You will be architecting the logic that tells a restaurant owner in Chicago exactly how wide their bathroom door needs to be based on local, state, and federal laws.

Core Responsibilities

• Code Codification: Translate ADA Standards, IBC, and local regulations into boolean logic and structured datasets.
• SOP Development: Establish and document Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for data entry, code verification, and database maintenance to ensure long-term scalability and accuracy.
• Database Scaling: Lead the expansion of the database to include US Territories and international codes (Canada/Mexico).
• Logic Mapping: Develop the recommendation engine that filters building types against specific disability needs.
• Quality Assurance: Audit the database regularly to ensure all links to specific codes are up-to-date.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Data Architecture: Strong experience in structured data modeling and managing complex relational datasets.
• Legal/Technical Literacy: Ability to read technical building codes and extract specific parameters.
• Attention to Detail: Absolute precision is required; a typo in a measurement could result in a non-compliant build.
• Systems Thinking: Ability to design logical workflows and repeatable processes for high-volume data management.
• Preferred Certifications (Nice to Have):
  • Data/Analysis: Professional certifications in data analytics, business intelligence, or data science.
  • Project/Process: PMP (Project Management Professional), CAPM, or Six Sigma certification.
  • Evidence of continuing education in legal research, urban planning, or spatial data analysis.

Shared Values for All Roles

• Inclusion Mindset: A deep-seated belief that accessibility is a human right.
• Problem Solvers: The ability to find creative solutions for “impossible” compliance overlaps.
• Collaborative: Comfortable working closely with a small, agile husband-and-wife founding team and external consultants.
• Outcome-Oriented Flexibility: We operate as a fully remote team with flexible schedules. We don’t track hours worked; instead, we focus on high-quality outcomes, hitting project milestones, and meeting established timelines. We trust our team to manage their own time to deliver the best results.
