The Climate Corporation's mission is to help all the world's people and businesses manage and adapt to climate change. We use a combination of weather monitoring, agronomic modeling, and weather simulation to provide data, insights, and decision making tools to farmers in the United States.
Climate's technical staff numbers around 80-100, and we're hiring full-time employees and interns across many teams as we expand efforts on a new class of decision support tools for growers. Work is split across groups focusing on web applications for farmers and agents, risk and insurance policy management, internal platform and data services, and scientific modeling and research, with roles for:
1. Software engineering generalists with solid CS fundamentals, particularly anyone interested in building (i) entirely new, large-scale distributed data services for scientific computing (we use Clojure); and (ii) web applications (Rails, Python, Javascript, and iOS) used by farmers to manage weather risk.
2. Quantitative researchers in statistics/ML, stochastic optimization, remote sensing, atmospheric physics, and agronomics. Our goal is to forecast statistical distributions of crop yield for any piece of arable land, synthesizing satellite images, digital elevation models, weather data, agricultural statistics, and geological surveys into multiscale models that underly our data services.
3. Experienced technical team leads, operations engineers, product managers, and designers to pull all this together into a compelling product.
The scale and interdisciplinary nature of the work drive a lot of cross-collaboration within the company, supported by a pressing need to build durable solutions to some very hard and important problems.
Competitive salary, excellent benefits, stock options, etc. Our 25% time is lumped into two-week sabbaticals. The usual details about these positions are here: https://hire.jobvite.com/j?bj=o7B8Wfww&s=hackernews
I write clojure for our geospatial data team. I'm happy to answer any questions or chat about what we do: skhalsa@climate.com. If you have general questions about the hiring process, recruiting@climate.com is the place to ask.
I apologize, we received a lot of intern applications and we are really just starting the intern search. We will get to yours for sure and send you a response. Or you can just send me an email at skhalsa@climate.com and we can go from there.
