Help us build weather’s next frontier
View open rolesWhy WindBorne?
This isn’t your typical tech job. We’re a dedicated team of Loonies and we’re tackling some of the hardest engineering challenges on the planet: deploying autonomous systems into the most extreme environments, processing massive datasets in real-time, and turning atmospheric chaos into actionable intelligence that saves lives and protects our planet.

What does it take to be a Loonie?
We build from scratch. We grind. We iterate. We solve the unsolvable.
Every line of code, every hardware design, every data model we build has direct planetary impact—improving weather prediction accuracy, enabling better disaster response, and advancing climate science at a scale that matters.
We’re looking for the most brilliant, obsessive problem-solvers who thrive on the challenge of building something entirely new: engineers who want to own the future of atmospheric intelligence. If you’re tired of incremental improvements and ready to work alongside some of the smartest, most cracked minds in tech on technology that will reshape how humanity understands our atmosphere, we want to talk.
The atmosphere won’t wait. Neither should you.
Bias for Action
Speed matters. We move fast, make quick decisions, and iterate relentlessly. Action beats inaction, and learning by doing is our default state.
Relentless Innovation
Innovation is our backbone. We are endlessly curious, test relentlessly, and break the meta.
The Loonie Way
We believe in our people—their skill, potential, and ability to make a difference. That foundation of trust and respect enables us to put our mission above ourselves.
