Ai2, founded by Paul Allen, conducts high-impact research and engineering to tackle key problems in artificial intelligence.
About the role
If you're the kind of engineer who gets energized by building technology that helps protect oceans, forests, and the climate, who wants to move fast, work across disciplines, and see your code have real-world impact, this is for you. The mission is the point. We're building AI for the planet: environmental conservation, food security, climate. If it’s important to you to work on problems with a positive impact on our planet and the world, you’re in the right place.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Range across web services, distributed systems, data pipelines, and cloud tooling
- A track record of shipping products to external users and owning them in production
- Opinions about API design, and a preference for simple designs over clever ones
- Willingness to write documentation as part of the work rather than after it
- Fluency with modern AI tools in your own workflow
More about this role
We are a small engineering team at the Allen Institute for AI working on AI for the Planet. We're working on maritime conservation, food security, disaster resilience, and climate solutions with some of the most impactful organizations on the planet. We work very closely alongside a ML research team and our Product & Partnerships teams, focused on building products that support our environmental and high-impact users.
EarthRanger is a software solution from AI2 that helps conservationists make informed operational decisions. By integrating real-time data from hardware sensors, field personnel, satellite imagery, and other sources, we help prevent the poaching of endangered species, fight deforestation, promote human-wildlife coexistence, and advocate for legal protection of wildlife. From iconic national parks throughout Africa to species-specific conservation programs in the arctic, today over 1000 conservation missions in 100 countries are using EarthRanger to protect animals and their habitats.
