Job description

Department: Field Operations
Reports To: Program Manager
Type: Contract (concludes April 30, 2027)
Salary: Hourly, $65,000k annual equivalent + overtime
About Rainmaker
Rainmaker is pioneering a modern cloud seeding system to address water scarcity and inclement weather
challenges worldwide. We develop and integrate radar validation, weather-resistant UAS, numerical weather
modeling, and sustainable seeding agents into an effective precipitation enhancement solution.
Rainmaker is building something that hasn't existed before. If you're the kind of person who gets energized
by hard problems, new territory, and the opportunity to do work that has real impact on water resources, we
want to hear from you.
About the Role
It's 10:24 PM. You were waiting for the call.
Your phone buzzes. Rainmaker's meteorologists have identified an overnight seeding window within the mountain range of your area of operations. Conditions are ideal. You've got about ten hours to turn supercooled liquid water into the snow that will eventually melt and feed into the aquifers, farms, and communities that need water now more than ever.
At headquarters, your team scouts the mission and loads the F-150 with drones, generators, laptops, and a Starlink. Your dog jumps in the cab with you, ready for adventure.
The Agile Deployment Vehicle smells like Red Bull as your crew heads north towards the mountains. The temperature outside is dropping. Single digits by the time you reach the launch site.
Your fingers are clumsy with the cold as you run pre-flight checks, but you've done it enough times that your hands know what to do.
Your drone lifts into the sky, then out of sight.
What happens next is invisible. At 10,000 feet, the drone releases seeding particles into supercooled clouds, coaxing ice into existence, nudging the atmosphere toward something it was almost ready to do on its own.
You are making it snow.
Over the next few hours, precipitation falls across the mountains. Snowpack deepens. In just one mission, your team has created millions of gallons of water for a place that has suffered from drought for far too long.
You and your team were the reason.
As dawn breaks, you pack up and drive home before sunrise to sleep, ready to do it again when given the chance.
You are a Rainmaker Field Operations Specialist. This is the job.
Become a Rainmaker.
