Job Description

Don't see an open role that fits your skills and interest? We still want to hear from you! As an early stage startup, our needs are constantly evolving and we want to have the smartest, hardest working people on our team.

The company

Terrafuse is building AI technology that accelerates climate physics models from hours on a supercomputer to seconds in the cloud, greatly improving our ability to protect against disastrous impacts of climate change and plan renewable energy infrastructure.

Climate change is projected to displace hundreds of millions of people and cause trillions of dollars in damage by 2050. Protecting people and infrastructure against the damage is only possible with accurate and granular risk models, because broadly protecting all areas is too expensive. For example, increased frequency of wildfires is forcing insurers out of California - however, with our product that accurately quantifies wildfire risk property by property, it becomes economical for them to continue providing coverage.

Additionally, our wind product helps optimize global wind energy production, which is growing 20% year over year as the world transitions to a clean energy economy.

Our technology combines our academic expertise in climate science and machine learning, developed from our work at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and supported by the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Defense, and Microsoft AI for Earth. Our customers include corporate and government players in the insurance, aviation, and clean energy industries.

What we offer

  • You will work on hard problems of critical importance with a unique team combining entrepreneurial and AI/climate science research experience at MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley, NASA, and C3.
  • As an early team member, you will have major impact on company's direction and culture.
  • We offer a competitive salary and equity compensation.
  • Other benefits: medical, dental, and vision options; 401k.

Terrafuse is committed to creating an inclusive employee experience for all. Regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, disability, or parental responsibilities, we firmly believe that our work is at its best when everyone feels free to be their most authentic self.
