    Description
    Software Engineer, Infrastructure & Networking


    WindBorne Systems is supercharging weather models with a unique proprietary data source: constellations of next-generation smart weather balloons targeting the most critical atmospheric data.

    We then combine that unique data source with the world's most accurate

    AI weather models.

    Our long-term vision 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.

    The founding team of Stanford engineers was named Forbes under 30 and is backed by top investors including Khosla Ventures.

    WindBorne is looking for a

    Software Engineer

    to help build robust mission critical infrastructure as we scale our global operations.

    Your role will be scaling core infra to support everything from manufacturing systems to distributed launch operations, optimizing bottlenecks while ensuring robust fault-tolerant availability and optimal performance.

    This is an intentionally broad set of tasks that require a systems-level understanding of how your software interacts with the real world.

    We're looking for generalists who love getting in the weeds.

    As a key player in expanding the world's largest atmospheric sensing network and the world's highest accuracy AI weather predictions, you'll contribute to groundbreaking work that has far-reaching implications.
