Open Roles

Technical Carbon Operations Lead (Remote)

Business & Operations / Full-time

The Role:
Pachama is looking for a Technical Carbon Operations Lead to help develop new forest carbon projects and provide technical diligence and support for partner developed projects. In this role you’ll be responsible, alongside our Origination Operations team, for executing the quantitative and geospatial analysis tasks necessary for successfully implementing projects and optimizing the design of new projects to ensure high quality and accurate carbon accounting. You will lead the execution of various field data collection efforts, geospatial analyses, calculation of carbon benefits, and other tasks necessary to ensure compliance with applicable methodologies and validation/verification standards.

You would be excited about this role if you love the idea of rolling up your sleeves and using your deep technical and scientific background in an applied role that achieves on-the-ground outcomes. You have a demonstrated interest in climate tech, experience implementing or verifying forest carbon projects, exceptional quantitative and geospatial analytical skills, and a hunger for impact.

Location: This role is fully remote. However a location in the US, Mexico or Brazil is preferred given that some travel to project sites will be required. Experience working in Brazil and other parts of Latin America is a plus.

Staff Geospatial Data Engineer (Remote)

Engineering / Full-time

About the Role:
We are looking for a Staff Data Engineer to lead the development of cutting-edge data systems backing our products for our mission to restore and protect the planet's forests. As a leader on the DMRV (Digital measurement, reporting, and verification) team, you will build, scale and deploy systems for ingesting, storing and computing the data powering our AI and Remote Sensing insights and are responsible for delivering those data insights to our customers to enable them to identify and originate the highest quality nature-based projects.

A typical day includes collaborating across engineering and science teams to understand new dataset ingest pathways for model or algorithm features, writing code to support efficient compute and scalable transformation and algorithms to unlock insights over project data, designing systems for easy data access and experimentation pathways, pair coding with other engineers to raise the standards and bar on our technical work, and roadmapping core improvements to our data, compute or measurement stack.

We're looking for engineers who find joy in the craft of building but live for seeing the end-to-end impact and want to rally engineers around them. Engineers who push forward initiatives by asking great questions, cutting through ambiguity, and organizing to win. Engineers who are relentlessly detail-oriented, methodical in their approach to understanding trade-offs, and place the highest emphasis on building and building quickly.
