A geoscience frontier company building AI to accelerate subsurface resource development for a clean energy future. Backed by Khosla.
About the role
We are seeking a Senior Geologist to help lead geological interpretation and mineral systems modeling efforts that support Terra AI’s exploration workflows. In this role, you will work closely with geologists, geophysicists, and machine learning engineers to integrate complex geological datasets into modern exploration models supporting critical minerals discovery.
What they're looking for
- Experience in economic geology, mineral exploration, or mine development
- Strong experience in critical minerals and base metals geology
- Proficiency with GIS and 3D geological modeling software
- Experience integrating geological and exploration datasets into cohesive exploration models
- Strong understanding of geochemistry and mineralization systems
- Exposure to computational geology, geostatistics, remote sensing, or AI-enabled exploration workflows is considered beneficial
More about this role
Terra AI is building a new category at the intersection of artificial intelligence, geoscience, and critical resource development.
As global demand for copper, lithium, nickel, rare earth elements, geothermal energy, and other strategic resources accelerates, the mining and subsurface industries face a growing challenge: traditional exploration methods remain slow, expensive, and highly uncertain. Terra AI was founded to help solve this problem by redefining how critical resources are discovered, evaluated, and developed.
By combining advanced machine learning, probabilistic modeling, and deep geoscience expertise, Terra AI helps exploration and mining companies make faster, more informed subsurface decisions with greater confidence and capital efficiency. The company’s platform integrates geological, geophysical, and drilling data into intelligent systems designed to improve targeting accuracy, accelerate discovery timelines, and reduce exploration risk.
Backed by leading investors including Khosla Ventures and working alongside strategic industry partners including Rio Tinto, Ero Copper, and Ramaco Resources, Terra AI is emerging as one of the more closely watched AI-native...
