What we're looking for:
  • Deep expertise in building a range of wildfire models, including ignition and spread models
  • Proven experience in building hazard models using wildfire simulations to assess potential severity and intensity
  • Extensive background in creating risk and impact models to estimate financial losses from wildfire events
  • Proficiency in applying AI/ML techniques and statistical methods to build catastrophic risk models
  • Master’s or PhD in Remote Sensing, Environmental Science, Computer Science, or a related discipline
  • Nice to have: Experience applying wildfire risk models in the utility sector

  • Generous Vacation Policy: Accrue 20 vacation days per year, plus enjoy an additional flex holiday to celebrate whatever feels most important to you!
  • Winter Break: From December 25th through January 2nd, we give everyone time off to recharge and enjoy time with family and friends!

We are proud to be an equal-opportunity employer. We are committed to embracing diversity and inclusion in our hiring practices, and we promote a work environment where everyone, from any race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin, can do their best work.
