https://apply.workable.com/carbonplan/j/38DF6C023B/

Description

CarbonPlan is a non-profit using data and science for climate action.

Our mission is to ensure the quality, scientific integrity, and
transparency of climate solutions. Our interdisciplinary team develops
timely, policy-relevant research and data products aimed at accelerating
the deployment of effective climate solutions. We work across a range of
domains — forests, soil, air capture, mineralization, energy, and more. We
communicate our results via interactive web tools and articles, working
directly with decision makers across the public and private sector to help
them achieve ambitious climate goals. CarbonPlan's Technology team sits at
the center of our work, building open science platforms to bridge our
scientific research and policy engagement. You can read more about our work
on our website <https://carbonplan.org/>.

As the first Software / Data engineer on our Technology team, you will
contribute to CarbonPlan’s core technical and scientific activities,
filling a hybrid role that includes data engineering, open source software
development, data analysis, and machine learning. We use and contribute to
open source software, and we build data products and visualizations for
broad audiences. If you’re excited about being part of a small and scrappy
team tackling big climate problems, please apply!

You will:

   - Build out CarbonPlan’s open data systems to support a wide range of
   research activities
   - Design and build open source analysis tools by contributing to
   existing projects and developing new ones
   - Learn about climate science and carbon removal
   - Interact closely with CarbonPlan’s entire team, particularly our team
   of research and data scientists

You should have:

   - Passion for our mission <https://carbonplan.org/about>, open source
   software, and open data
   - 2-4+ years experience with scientific Python
   - 1-3+ years experience with geoscientific data (e.g. geospatial data,
   remote sensing, images, time series, etc.)
   - 1-3+ years experience with open source software development, version
   control, continuous integration, etc.
   - A portfolio of your work (e.g. open source code, websites, papers,
   etc.)

You’ll be an especially good fit if you have:

   - Data analytics experience using Python, Pandas, Xarray, Dask and Zarr
   - Cloud computing experience using Kubernetes and object-store-based
   data systems
   - Machine Learning experience using frameworks such as Scikit-Learn,
   PyTorch, and/or TensorFlow
   - Geospatial data visualization experience
   - Experience managing large collections of geospatial data using catalog
   tools like STAC, Intake, THREDDS
   - Web development experience in JavaScript using React, Vega/D3, and/or
   WebGL
   - Background in one or more relevant domains (ecology, material science,
   biogeochemistry, energy technologies or systems, climate science, climate
   policy, social justice)

You should include in your application:

   - A link to your portfolio (GitHub, website, etc.).
   - Your CV or a link to your LinkedIn profile
   - A paragraph on why you are excited about CarbonPlan and this role

CarbonPlan is an equal opportunity employer, and we are committed to
building an inclusive and diverse workplace. Addressing climate change
requires confronting systems that create inequity and injustice, and doing
so will require a team with culturally diverse perspectives. All qualified
applications — regardless of race, color, gender, religion, age, sexual
orientation, sexual identity, national or ethnic origin, disability,
marital status, veteran status, and any other occupationally irrelevant
criteria — will receive full consideration. We especially encourage
applications from individuals from underrepresented groups in science,
technology, and environmental organizations.

We are committed to providing competitive compensation and comprehensive
benefits to our full-time employees. We offer fixed salary levels based on
experience and role to minimize biases in compensation and to ensure team
members are paid the same for doing the same work. We expect this to be a
full-time position with an annual salary of $90,000 USD based on the
experience required for the role.

We are not currently able to sponsor a visa for this position, and
therefore can only consider applications from people who are already
authorized to work in the United States. We are based primarily in San
Francisco, but currently work remotely. The hiring manager for this role is
in Seattle. Remote work from any location on Pacific or Mountain Time works
for us!
