Meteorologist
The person whose sign-off makes our forecasts trustworthy. Approve every severe-weather claim we publish, shape how we measure accuracy, and write the briefings.
What you'll do
- Review all severe-weather wording before it ships — nothing goes out without this
- Define what we verify, against which baseline, and what counts as a win
- Write briefings that explain active events to non-specialists
- Guide the Weather Data Specialists and support customers who need a human interpretation
What we look for
- A degree in meteorology or atmospheric science, and operational forecasting experience — ideally including severe weather
- Able to write clearly for people who are not meteorologists
- Willing to say publicly when our forecast was wrong
How hiring works
- Step 1
Apply
One page, about five minutes. Your LinkedIn and CV do most of the talking.
- Step 2
Verify your identity
About three minutes: your phone, an ID document and a quick live selfie, run by Didit. Every candidate does this before an interview.
- Step 3
Book a 15-minute call
Once you're verified, we email you a link to pick a time — weekdays, 8am–4pm Eastern Time (ET), at least 24 hours ahead. We read your application before we talk.
- Step 4
Talk and agree terms
The intro call, a technical conversation about work you've actually done, then contract terms, rate and start date in writing.
Pay
$50 – $75 per hour as an independent contractor, depending on experience. We publish the range on every role so you know before you apply, not after three interviews.
About Ensemble Weather AI
We combine many independent AI weather models into one better-calibrated forecast and deliver it as an API — severe storms, nowcasting, air quality and long-range climate. It's early: the ingest pipelines, the ensembling layer and the v1 API are being built now, so the people who join next will own that core rather than maintain someone else's.
