About Charm
Our mission is to return the atmosphere to 280 ppm CO₂. We convert excess inedible biomass into carbon-rich bio-oil and inject it into underground storage for permanent carbon removal. At scale we can use bio-oil to make fossil-free iron.
Our carbon removal pathway took off in 2020 with initial purchases from customers like Stripe, Shopify & Microsoft. Since then we’ve scaled to thousands of tons of carbon removal, over a hundred employees, and now have three locations in San Francisco, Colorado, and Kansas. Come join us in 2024 as we aim to become one of the first companies to put 10,000 tons of carbon back underground!
We're looking to expand our team of ambitious creative and hands-on forward-thinking humans. We value psychological safety and collaboration. We take calculated risks and don't sweep mistakes under the rug; instead, we pin them to the wall and learn from them. We value that everyone’s unique backgrounds and perspectives shape their work. We encourage you to read our company values.
Come help us reverse climate change. Gigatons or bust!
About the Role
- As Charm’s operations continue to grow, we’re looking for a Geologist to join the team to help identify prospective injection wells in new geographies.

- Interpret and integrate a comprehensive suite of technical data and construct subsurface maps (structural,, thickness and other reservoir properties, pressure, etc.).
- Compile and interpret geologic and geophysical data from well operations.
You Bring:
- Deep experience in petroleum geology, geophysics and/or related disciplines in multiple basins.
- Experience planning and implementing a secondary development or water disposal project from candidate selection through injection operations
- Comfort navigating public data sources and working with regulatory agencies across multiple jurisdictions.

- Familiarity with aspects of drilling, completing and reworking well operations.
- Demonstrated understanding of petrophysics and formation evaluation as they relate to fluid flow and reservoir confinement.
Bonus, if You Bring:
- While not a requirement, a candidate with a strong network of subsurface experts and regulators could be advantageous.
