Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across technical and scientific domains.
Comfort leading architectural discussions and mentoring other engineers.
Must be based in the US or Canada.
Time zone alignment required: Eastern North America (NST, AST, EST).
Preferred experience in wildfire science, forestry, or remote sensing.
Preferred experience integrating physics-based models with ML, active learning, or uncertainty quantification.
Preferred experience with model interpretability and data provenance for environmental ML systems.
Preferred experience with deep learning models for weather or climate data.
Preferred experience working in remote-first or globally distributed teams.

Benefits

Competitive salary with equity.
Flexible working environment with a high degree of autonomy.
Remote working budget.
Educational budget and time to develop new skills.
Mission-driven work focused on reducing wildfires and supporting climate resilience.
