Job description
Full Stack Web Developer (Clojure) for Avoided Wildfire Emissions

Spatial Informatics Group, LLC (SIG), is an environmental think tank focused on solving complex environmental problems and taking unique solutions to market. Our group combines spatial analytics with ecological, social and economic sciences to understand and quantify the impacts of management and policy choices on the short and long-term stability of ecosystems.
We specialize in capturing geospatial data using remote sensing technology and offer services in environmental mapping, ecosystem quantification, forest management, forest carbon offsets, and fire risk management.
We’re a tight knit, mission-driven team, distributed across the globe, and positioned for rapid growth. Come join our team of applied thinkers, scientists, technologists, and business professionals.

Job Description: SIG is searching for a Full Stack Web Developer to focus initially on developing a web application for implementing a novel carbon protocol - Avoided Wildfire Emissions (AWE) - a forecast methodology under the Climate Forward program to recognize the climate benefits associated with fuel treatment activities that lower the risk of catastrophic forest fires and the emissions associated with them.

The successful candidate will be joining a software team including developers, designers and project managers. With support from SIG’s wider group of environmental scientists and consultants, the application will leverage public and open source data and models to develop an application to implement the AWE carbon protocol. The position will grow into supporting wider web application decision support services SIG provides. Examples include wildfire work with Pyregence, and land-use change (collect.earth).

SIG is a digitally native organization with personnel distributed across three continents. Therefore, the position is for remote work only, preferably based in US compatible timezones.
