The posting

Terra AI is building a new category at the intersection of artificial intelligence, geoscience, and critical resource development.

As global demand for copper, lithium, nickel, rare earth elements, geothermal energy, and other strategic resources accelerates, the mining and subsurface industries face a growing challenge: traditional exploration methods remain slow, expensive, and highly uncertain. Terra AI was founded to help solve this problem by redefining how critical resources are discovered, evaluated, and developed.

By combining advanced machine learning, probabilistic modeling, and deep geoscience expertise, Terra AI helps exploration and mining companies make faster, more informed subsurface decisions with greater confidence and capital efficiency. The company’s platform integrates geological, geophysical, and drilling data into intelligent systems designed to improve targeting accuracy, accelerate discovery timelines, and reduce exploration risk.

Backed by Khosla Ventures, BHP, and Rio Tinto, Terra AI works with industry leaders to bring a more informed, data-driven approach to critical resource development.

Terra AI’s mission is to define the new global standard for data-driven critical resource development — breaking the cost and time curve required to support electrification, energy security, and the global energy transition.

The company operates with a strong partnership mentality, combining technical rigor, candid communication, continual learning, and environmental stewardship to help modern exploration teams solve some of the world’s most important resource challenges.

Role

We are seeking a Senior Geologist to help lead geological interpretation and mineral systems modeling efforts that support Terra AI’s exploration workflows. In this role, you will work closely with geologists, geophysicists, and machine learning engineers to integrate complex geological datasets into modern exploration models supporting critical minerals discovery.

- Interpret and integrate geological, geochemical, and geophysical datasets across multiple scales

- Build robust mineral systems and exploration models supporting probabilistic targeting workflows

- Support geological feature engineering and modern computational exploration workflows

- QA/QC historical and modern exploration datasets to improve modeling confidence

- Collaborate closely with internal and external technical teams across geology, geophysics, and engineering

- Produce technical reports, visualizations, and exploration recommendations for global projects

- Provide geological expertise to support the automation and improvement of exploration workflows

Qualifications

- Experience in economic geology, mineral exploration, or mine development

- Strong experience in critical minerals and base metals geology

- Proficiency with GIS and 3D geological modeling software

- Experience integrating geological and exploration datasets into cohesive exploration models

- Strong understanding of geochemistry and mineralization systems

- Exposure to computational geology, geostatistics, remote sensing, or AI-enabled exploration workflows is considered beneficial

Candidates from both traditional exploration and emerging computational geology environments are encouraged to apply.

We recognize that exceptional candidates may come from a variety of professional, technical, and industry backgrounds. If your experience aligns closely with the spirit of the role, we encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every listed qualification.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
