Permitting & Environmental Manager
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.
We've built the AI platform that aggregates 1,500+ geospatial data layers and regulatory intelligence to generate expert-grade permitting, siting, and regulatory compliance insights in hours instead of weeks. We're working with publicly traded energy companies and the developers building the infrastructure backbone of America's energy transition.
The Opportunity
Blumen is building the regulatory intelligence layer for how America builds energy and critical infrastructure.
We’re looking for a detail-oriented environmental or permitting professional who can help us structure and maintain high-quality regulatory data across federal, state, and local jurisdictions.
This is a role for someone who can move between deep focus and big-picture thinking — digging into zoning codes, verifying environmental regulations, and shaping how that information fuels automated permitting and due diligence.
If you’ve worked with permits or compliance data and want to help modernize the process that governs how infrastructure gets built, this role is for you.
What You’ll Do
Review and quality-check permitting and regulatory datasets for accuracy and completeness.
Research and interpret environmental and land-use regulations across jurisdictions.
Structure and tag information so it can power automation and compliance workflows.
Identify data gaps and inconsistencies, then define how to fix them.
Collaborate with engineers and analysts to turn complex regulations into structured logic.
Develop internal standards and documentation for data quality and coverage.
You’re a Fit If
You’ve worked in permitting, environmental compliance, or regulatory analysis for several years.
You’re meticulous with details but can also connect dots across complex systems.
You’re curious about how data and AI can simplify environmental review and approvals.
You’re comfortable balancing repetitive quality control with independent critical thinking.
You take pride in knowing your work shapes how energy and infrastructure projects move forward.
Bonus points if you have:
Experience with GIS or spatial datasets.
Familiarity with NEPA, Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, or state equivalents.
Prior experience in environmental consulting, data QA, or government permitting.
What We Offer
Compensation
Competitive base salary + equity in a fast-growing energy AI company.
Growth
Exposure to permitting and environmental data at national scale.
Mentorship from leaders across data, product, and regulatory backgrounds.
Opportunity to grow into senior roles in data, product, or operations.
Culture
No-ego, get-shit-done team solving a broken process everyone has experienced.
In-person, high-commitment work environment (San Francisco).
Mission-driven company redefining how infrastructure gets built.
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.
