X, Mountain View, CA (HQ)
We're looking for a Platform Architect to define and lead the end-to-end technical architecture of the Bellwether platform. That's the data, ML, and cloud foundation that turns petabytes of Earth observation data into hazard, risk, and damage insights for enterprise and government customers.
As one of Bellwether's most senior technical leaders, you'll own how the whole system fits together:
This is a hands-on, senior Individual Contributor role. You'll set multi-year technical direction across ML, data, infrastructure, and product engineering at scale, and you'll still prototype, write critical-path code, and review designs yourself. You'll work closely with Bellwether's engineering, product, and business leaders to balance speed with rigor as we grow from early products into an enterprise-grade platform.
Our team – Bellwether – operates at the intersection of machine learning, geospatial data, and pressing issues with enterprise customers, governments, and more. We focus on severe weather manifestations of climate change, such as wildfires, and aim to use a wide range of data and analytics to better understand and predict what these events could mean for communities and businesses across the globe. We do this through the detection and classification of the features and patterns of the natural and built worlds, the application of cutting-edge machine learning, and the redesign of the full geo-ML workflow.
This work extends into development and production-level work as well, as Bellwether also has a number of products that are live with customers. The result: tools and models that allow a range of industries to better leverage earth observation insights.
X is a diverse group of inventors and entrepreneurs who build and launch technologies that aim to improve the lives of millions, even billions, of people. Our goal: 10x impact on the world’s most intractable problems, not just 10% improvement. We approach projects that have the aspiration and riskiness of research with the speed and ambition of a startup.
