Nonprofit operating Black Rock City festival and global Burning Man event network
Burning Man Project runs the operational backbone of Black Rock City and coordinates a network of 90+ official events worldwide. The hiring surge (60 roles posted in 30 days) is heavily weighted toward operations (42 openings) with minimal engineering (5), reflecting the organization's core challenge: scaling logistics, safety compliance, and event production rather than building software. Active projects span waste management, bike infrastructure, dispatch systems, and food service—all labor-intensive operational workflows typical of large-scale event infrastructure.
