Remote Food Writing Jobs in Houston, TX (NOW HIRING)

Our San Francisco client is on a mission to combat climate change, improve food security, and alleviate poverty by building a global measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) platform for high-integrity carbon removal and storage. With groundbreaking technological innovation using ground truth sampling, remote sensing, and AI modeling, they are accurately and scalably measuring soil carbon to incentivize the adoption of sustainable practices. As a public-benefit corporation, they are backed by world-class investors such as Floodgate, John Doerr, Kleiner Perkins, Sheryl Sandberg, Ponderosa Ventures, 776 Foundation (Alexis Ohanian), George Roberts, and Stanford's TomKat Center for Sustainable Energy.

The successful candidate will have a track record of shipping and going through the full product development cycle, setting up the technology stack and development infrastructure, and developing infrastructure/pipelines to support Machine Learning/Remote Sensing workflows. While experience in climate/agriculture is a plus, a passion for climate is a must! Multidisciplinary teamwork, as well as understanding how to support Machine Learning and Remote Sensing workflows, is also highly valued. If you care deeply about climate change and feel a strong moral responsibility to act now, apply today!
