ABOUT VIBRANT PLANET

We are a team of leaders in fire science, applied science, forestry, policy, and tech who work with land managers, community risk managers, utilities, and insurers to drive action that lowers the risk of destructive wildfire. Our cloud-based, AI-driven platform modernizes land management planning, community risk assessment, and monitoring through scenario building, decision support, and treatment outcome detection.

Our fire science subsidiary, Pyrologix, produces leading wildfire science and models that quantify wildfire hazard and risk, and the benefits of mitigation action. This science powers the core Vibrant Planet platform and supports our work across utilities, insurance, and other sectors.

Vibrant Planet is backed by climate and resilience leaders including Grantham Foundation, Earthshot, Elemental Excelerator, Ecosystem Integrity Fund, Cisco, and Halogen Ventures. For more information, visit vibrantplanet.net http://vibrantplanet.net and pyrologix.com http://pyrologix.com.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Our applications support decision making to keep communities safer and ecosystems healthier. As application engineers, we build tools that land managers, fire districts, and utility planners use to make decisions to mitigate wildfire and climate risk, across our wildfire resilience and utilities applications. These applications run and present the results of optimizations and simulations as both statistics in tables and charts, and layers on a map.

We build full stack features within an Elixir, Phoenix LiveView, and Postgres application stack. We collaborate with product, design, data engineering, infrastructure, science, and operations.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

You thrive on building great products in a startup atmosphere. Given a loosely defined problem, you can collaborate with others to resolve ambiguities and ship high quality features.

Many of our engineers bring a second area of expertise alongside their technical skills, like ecology, forestry, or fire science. If you've built a career at the intersection of natural sciences and engineering, we want to hear from you.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience building and shipping full-stack web applications.

• Hands-on experience turning designs into responsive, accessible UIs. You have worked closely with product and design partners.

• Strong proficiency with SQL and relational databases. PostgreSQL experience is a bonus.

• Comfortable working in a fully remote, fast-paced startup environment.

• Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without visa sponsorship.

At least one of the following

• Experience building interactive web maps with a working knowledge of geospatial fundamentals such as projections and spatial data formats (Geopackage, GeoTIFF, etc.).

• Domain expertise in a natural science/resource field (forestry, ecology, remote sensing, fire science, meteorology, or related field).

• Experience with Elixir and some front-end framework, preferably Phoenix LiveView.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience generating, serving, and consuming raster and vector tilesets (Tippecanoe, MBTiles/PMTiles).

• Experience with PostGIS or other spatial database tooling.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Salary Range: $100,000 – $200,000

• Health, dental, and vision insurance

• 401(k) plan

• Unlimited PTO policy

• Company equity

• Cell phone stipend (per pay period)

• Home office setup allowance (one-time)

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.
