Mission – Why we exist and why we need you

Geothermal energy is the most abundant renewable energy source in the world. There is 2,300 times more energy in geothermal heat in the ground than in oil, gas, coal, and methane combined. However, historically it’s been hard to find and expensive to develop. At Zanskar, we’re using better technology to find and develop new geothermal resources in order to make geothermal a cheap and vital contributor to a carbon-free electrical grid. We are revolutionizing the exploration process, setting new industry standards for discovery rates and finding new prospects at an unprecedented scale. To reduce risk and improve outcomes, we rely on novel software and machine learning modeling.

The Staff Software Engineer will play a critical role developing and maintaining Zanskar’s growing software engineering systems to make scaled geothermal energy a reality. A successful candidate will be a trusted leader who can design and deliver reliable full-stack systems for both short-term goals and long-term growth. This is a technical leadership role, demanding the ability to assess technical systems, recommend evolutions, and then deliver improved software systems to accelerate the work of others around them. As such, strong communication skills are essential, as the Staff Software Engineer will collaborate with research, engineering, geoscience, land analysis, and field teams. Startup experience is a strong plus.

Competencies – What we’re looking for

• Minimum 8+ years experience in software engineering in a business environment.
• Experience leading data engineering projects with high independence.
