*About Us: *

The Climate Corporation’s mission is to help all the world’s people and
businesses manage and adapt to climate change. To achieve our mission, we
have built a unique technology platform to enable, for the first time, the
real-time pricing and purchasing of customizable weather insurance.
Managing over 200 TB of data, including 34 trillion+ weather simulation
data points, 150 billion soil type observations, and more than 3 million
daily weather measurements, we are one of the largest users of Amazon Web
Services.

The Climate Corporation is focused on helping farmers protect and increase
their profits in the face of increasingly extreme weather. At the heart of
the company is our unique Climate Insights™ technology platform, which
encompasses our core competencies across weather monitoring, agronomic
modeling, and weather simulation. This platform powers the company’s
portfolio of technology-based products and services, which are
revolutionizing agricultural risk management and farm management.

At The Climate Corporation, leaving a mark on the world is in our DNA; we
want to make a lasting and meaningful real-world impact. We relish big
problems because they are the most interesting to tackle, the most
rewarding, and typically, the most valuable to solve. We also thrive on
finding the possible in the impossible. If you are the best at what you do,
you like solving interesting problems, and you are looking for like-minded
people dedicated to having a major impact on the world, we are eager to
talk with you.
