About Us

Jupiter is the global market leader in analytics for resilience planning
and enterprise climate risk management, especially in financial services,
industrial, the public sector, and NGOs.

Jupiter is led by pioneers in data, climate, and earth and ocean sciences,
as well as technology, risk management, company building, and public
policy. Our climate risk modeling solutions save lives and mitigate
potentially catastrophic impacts inflicted by hurricanes, floods, heat
waves, wildfires, drought, and other extreme weather events on homes,
businesses, infrastructure, food and water supplies, and entire economies.

Bringing diversity to prepare a diverse planet for our changing climate
Jupiter was founded on the principle that with the right approaches and the
right team, we can prepare Earth’s economies to meet the challenges
associated with climate change. The world is a diverse place; a diverse
workforce in an inclusive environment is essential to meet our goals. We go
forward together.

We seek new colleagues—data scientists, physical scientists, software
engineers, company builders, and more—who share our passion for excellence,
innovation, and collaboration. Jupiter was founded on the principle that
with the right approaches and the right team, we can prepare Earth’s
economies to meet the challenges associated with climate change.

The purpose of this role is to develop and deploy complex modeling
frameworks to simulate and predict hydrologic and hydraulic processes on
commercial cloud platforms. This role will deploy both physics and
machine-learning based algorithms for numerical simulation/prediction of
flood risk resulting from rainfall, river flow, and coastal storm surge.
This role troubleshoots complex systems, identifies and correct weaknesses,
incorporates new algorithms, contributes to process workflows, and assures
quality of output. This role is a critical piece of the team delivering
data that forms the backbone of Jupiter products.
