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. We're seeking web devs who got into it because they love pushing browsers and backends to their limits or presenting data in new ways. Our core technologies are Ruby on Rails and React.

Engineering on our new weather forecast product. While we’ve been selling atmospheric observations for years, we’ve only recently begun selling forecasts. You’ll be working to create a flexible, scalable system that we can pump huge amounts of weather data through and recombine dynamically to meet user needs.

This is an individual contributor role, not a managerial role. You should be excited by the prospect of spending almost all of your day coding.

Ruby on Rails and React. We want a full-stack web developer who’s excited about understanding the flow of data through a complex system: balloon to satellite to server to the browser and back again. You’ll thrive if you’re into fun ideas about how to keep a high development velocity without sacrificing performance (we may severely abuse the browser’s Cache API, for example). The majority of the code is Rails and React, though you may touch systems written in languages like C (eg native extensions), Rust (some services + some WASM), and WebGL. Beyond technical skills, you should be excited about working at a scrappy startup with a lot of independence.

For this role, we're looking at people with several years of real-world experience. While we love using tools like Cursor and Claude, web fundamentals should be so deeply baked into your psyche that AI tools are extensions of your will, not crutches.
