Founding Software Engineer
About the Company
Our mission is to discover the raw materials needed to create a prosperous world for the next 1000 years. With modern software and hardware, we aim to reduce mineral discovery timelines from 10 years to 1 year. Founded in 2023 by lifelong geoscientists, ExploreTech is a venture-backed business that develops technology and uses it to explore for minerals all over the world.
About the Role
In this role, you’ll lead the development of ExploreTech’s exploration software systems. This is not a CRUD app – you’ll build software that’s used in rugged and remote parts of the world. You’ll build APIs to orchestrate massive cluster computing systems. You’ll build user interfaces that are so clean and usable that they work in an arctic snowstorm in January. The best part - you’ll join a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and explorers that live and breathe this work every day.
