We are looking for scientists, engineers and operators with deep domain expertise related to opportunity areas we’re pursuing. We are also open to hear about broader idea spaces in climate on which we haven’t formed a thesis yet.
Our two most important selection criteria are your technical/domain insights as well as your potential to lead a massively scalable company. No need for a team, IP, or even a specific idea.
Find out more about what we’re looking for.
