Sofar is on a mission to connect the world’s oceans. We design, build, and deploy the largest privately owned network of marine weather sensors to power the world’s best marine weather forecasts. Our data helps our customers to increase efficiency and reduce emissions, delivering tools to governments and other stakeholders to understand impacts of climate change on extreme weather and ocean health. We live on Planet Ocean, and our goal is to create the ocean intelligence needed to ensure a sustainable future.
We are looking for a Software Engineering Manager to join our team as we scale our ocean data platform and the applications it supports.
You’ll grow a deep understanding of the data we collect and the wide variety of use cases it supports – from simple query and retrieve interfaces to powerful infrastructure for next-generation weather modeling pipelines. You will collaborate with a top-notch team of engineers, ocean scientists, and product designers to translate user needs into robust infrastructure and systems that empower our users with the ocean data they need.
This role calls for a capable technical leader and people manager. You’ll be responsible for guiding technology selection and architectural decisions in data pipelines and modeling infrastructure, as well as hiring and retaining talented engineers.
About you
We at Sofar Ocean acknowledge that careers in the marine sciences “... have traditionally been, and remain, non-diverse work environments”, thereby limiting the entry and prosperity of underrepresented groups in the space. (Johri et al., 2021) Many of these same groups are disproportionately affected by climate change, and are often excluded from decision making that directly address their interests and needs.
We are committed to addressing these climate injustices and highly encourage people who identify as women, LGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) to apply.
It is the responsibility of every employee to contribute to a positive work environment through cooperative and professional interactions with co-workers, customers, and vendors.
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, protected veteran status, disability, or any other factors prohibited by law.
Sofar Ocean focuses on creating innovative solutions to connect and monitor the world's oceans, aiming to promote sustainability and enhance oceanic data accessibility for a healthier marine environment.
