Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Act as the meteorological authority within the Growth organization to provide technical credibility for customer solutions and business development. Develop case studies, represent the company at scientific conferences, and support global launch operations.
Requires at least five years of experience in meteorology or atmospheric science with strong communication and writing skills. Experience with operational forecasting systems and a background with agencies like NOAA or the DoW is desired.
WindBorne Systems is supercharging weather forecasts with a unique proprietary data source: the largest balloon constellation in the world. WindBorne Atlas is backed by next-generation smart weather balloons targeting the most critical atmospheric data. We design, manufacture, and operate our own balloons, using the data they collect to generate otherwise unattainable weather intelligence.
Our mission is to eliminate weather uncertainty, and in the process help humanity adapt to climate change, be that predicting hurricanes or speeding the adoption of renewables. We are building a future in which the planet is instrumented by thousands of our microballoons, eliminating gaps in our understanding of the planet and giving people and businesses the information they need to make critical decisions. The founding team of Stanford engineers was named Forbes 2019 30 under 30 and is backed by top-tier investors, including Khosla Ventures and Footwork VC.
