Job Description
About DroneSeed:Our mission is simple: Make reforestation scalable to mitigate the worst effects of climate change. DroneSeed is transforming a 300-million-acre global landscape deforested since the 1990s. It would take 300-years to replant this deficit with current tools.
Our technology speeds up the process. DroneSeed uses heavy-lift drone swarms to reforest at scale after 🔥. We cut time to reforest from 3 years to 3 months. We’ve pioneered the drones and the backend required to operate swarms as a delivery solution over rough terrain. We survey sites and deliver to targeted areas of soil proprietary seed vessels that boost seed survival. Utilizing carbon credits, we double landowner investment in 18 months addressing the financial barriers to reforestation.
About you: You recognize climate change as an existential threat to global civilization and are dedicated to doing something meaningful about it. You have led technology teams in high growth organizations that have excelled even as they expanded. Your own personal values align with our own - leading with empathy, a drive to deliver meaningful results for stakeholders, building and maintaining a high degree of trust, and an urgency fitting our the audacity of our mission.
