About Us
We are currently building our platform team and hiring for a full-time, in-person full-stack engineer with the ambition to help get things done. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to apply their skills towards fighting climate change, wants to experience the high-pace, high-ownership setting of an early startup, and can start onboarding in the next few weeks.
Climate change is one of the most meaningful challenges of our generation, and every possible solution put forward by the United Nations IPCC requires scaled carbon sequestration. Forests are critical for this reason, but they need to be managed for a growing set of values including sustainable wood production, carbon, biodiversity, and wildfire risk mitigation. We are an MIT climatetech startup applying autonomous vehicle technology to solve this problem, utilizing cutting edge sensors and perception AI to build the modern tooling needed to manage forests with great accuracy and confidence.
