Role

Who you are

PhD, or Master's degree and 3+ years of CS, CE, ML or related field experience
Significant hands-on experience in AI/ML, specifically with large datasets
Domain expertise in climate is nice to have but not required, a solid foundation in ML/AI and statistical modeling principles is essential (i.e., the ability to clearly demonstrate a grasp over the concepts and best practices.)
Strong coding skills with experience in cloud computing
Good communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
We hire people who are collaborative, adaptable, communicate well, and love to learn

What the job involves

You will have the opportunity to build applications of GenAI approaches to solve the most critical forecasting and interpretation challenges in climate science that would allow us to improve food and climate security outcomes for the world
Work cross functionally with climate scientists, ML engineers, software engineers and business teams
Expect to give and receive constructive criticism, as we are constantly seeking to push the innovation frontier while simultaneously growing as individuals and as a team

Our take

Climate change is creating urgent risks for industries like agriculture, where unpredictable weather patterns, drought, and flooding threaten food security, supply chains, and infrastructure. As the IPCC highlights, the window to mitigate the worst effects of climate change is closing fast, making climate adaptation crucial.

ClimateAi is tackling these challenges with its AI-powered platform, ClimateLens™, which uses machine learning and data from multiple sources to deliver weather and climate insights. By providing forecasts with a 1km range, the platform helps businesses anticipate climate risks and make data-driven decisions across areas like sourcing, supply chains, and risk management.

Raising a total of $25.5M, the company has seen rapid growth, increasing its annual recurring revenue by five times and expanding its customer base fourfold. With big-name clients like Dole, Driscoll's, and The Nuveen Natural Capital, ClimateAi has established itself as a trusted partner and is on a strong, continued growth journey.
