WindBorne Systems is supercharging weather models with a unique proprietary data source: constellations of next-generation smart weather balloons targeting the most critical atmospheric data. We then combine that unique data source with the world’s most accurate AI weather models. Our long-term vision is to eliminate weather uncertainty, and in the process help humanity adapt to climate change, be that predicting hurricanes or speeding the adoption of renewables. The founding team of Stanford engineers was named Forbes 2019 30 under 30 and is backed by top investors including Khosla Ventures.


My name is Mei-Lan, I run Flight Operations at WindBorne, and over the next 2-3 years, my job is to scale our constellation of autonomous weather balloons from 30 to 10,000 aloft.

This is a unique problem without an out-of-the-box solution easily ported from other industries. Solving it requires devising and implementing flexible, scalable systems purpose-built for the idiosyncrasies of our balloon operations.

I am hiring for a thought partner with the hubris to take on a problem that drove a quantum physics PhD into a persistent state of insanity. This position is background-agnostic; ranging from PMs to physicists, and we can adapt the job title as appropriate. The important thing is that you are excited to work on this problem and will enjoy working with me.
