Founding Product Engineer, Methane Monitoring Platform
at Orbio Earth — Tracking methane emissions with satellites
What the role involves
Orbio is hiring an exceptional engineer to own and scale our methane monitoring product.
You’ll work directly with the CEO and take end-to-end responsibility for core systems: maintaining and improving shipping workflows, automating QA and reviewing systems, launching a new front-end, maintaining geospatial pipelines, building APIs/integrations for operators, optimizing infrastructure costs, and potentially launching new features to track emissions.
We’re looking for someone who is:
Excellent at coding and shipping production systems
Self-directed, using newest Ai workflow improvers and comfortable owning work in a silo
Excited by energy, and geospatial data
Bonus
background in physics, remote sensing, geospatial data, or energy
Ideal locations in one of our offices: Germany, Cape Town, or London
After a difficult restructuring last year, Orbio is now growing again on the back of stronger business momentum. This is the first key technical hire in our next chapter: you’ll own the methane product while working alongside a small team focused on building our new renewables product, MeanderX.
This is a high-ownership role for someone who wants to build with speed.
About Orbio Earth
Orbio uses satellite imagery to track methane emissions from the oil & gas industry. We sell the data to financial companies that want to invest into the best performing energy companies. Until today, oil & gas companies use excel-based emission factors to calculate and report their emissions. As these excel-based emission factors underestimate actual emissions by ~70%, the finance companies that invest into oil & gas can’t mitigate against incoming risks from new regulations, We have built a technology that can for the first time use satellite images to track methane from every single oil & gas facility on the planet, replacing emission factors and allowing finance companies to make the best bets on oil & gas companies that will withstand a wide avalanche of incoming regulation. In the summer 2023 our satellite-based technology got ranked #1 both in terms of accuracy and sensitivity of methane emission events by Stanford University in a peer-reviewed study, beating a range of multi-bn dollar competitors like Maxar.
