Data Architect

Fraym is mapping humanity to help governments, organizations, and companies solve some of the most pressing challenges of our time: inequity and insecurity, climate vulnerability, public health, access to critical services, and more. To us, mapping humanity is as much about cutting-edge tech as it is about the people that live in the places we illuminate. We believe community-level data is a critical requirement for bringing about positive change.
