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 and 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.
