Life in and around Juneau

Juneau, the capital of Alaska, is a city that charms with its breathtaking beauty. Surrounded by mountains and water, it’s a paradise for nature enthusiasts, providing ample opportunities for hiking, kayaking, and whale-watching.

The city also offers rich cultural experiences, from the Alaska State Museum to the Sealaska Heritage Center and unique offerings like the Glacier Gardens Rainforest Adventure and mine tours. Combine this with a welcoming community and you have the perfect blend of adventure and tranquility.

We think we're swell. But don't just take our word for it.

Meet Rachel

Director, Juneau

After graduating with a geology degree, Rachel worked in the mining industry where she was first exposed to GIS. A few seasons of roughing it in mining camps later, a career in IT was calling her name. She joined Resource Data in 2014 as an intern and honed her programming, project management, analysis, and natural leadership skills on a wide range of projects before taking on branch leadership in 2021.

In her free time, you can find Rachel outdoors, hiking or on a fat-tire bike, exploring the amazing trails and public-use cabins around Juneau that she says set her town apart from other outdoorsy communities. She loves running into her co-workers on the docks on a sunny summer day, on the slopes after a good snow, or at the frisbee golf course. She also enjoys tending her garden, which has slowly taken over her backyard.

    Sr. Programmer Juneau, AK

    For Jon, working for Resource Data’s Juneau branch means he gets to use his technical skills doing interesting work, learn from other top-notch developers, and enjoy a great work-life balance, all while living in a place as beautiful as Alaska. He likes catching up with coworkers or playing a quick game of ping pong in the office, but also appreciates the option to work remote from home if life gets a little crazy. When he’s not flexing his programming skills for clients like the State of Alaska, there’s a good chance he’s outdoors, hiking, biking, hanging out with his family, or throwing plastic at chains to indulge his unhealthy addiction to disc golf.

    • Music Rap, Hip-Hop, Country, Rock, Alternative, etc.
