Careers at Skyward

Work on problems that matter.

We’re a small team working across atmospheric science, software, engineering, and aviation to address lightning-caused wildfire risk.

Our work ranges from building forecasting products used by wildfire agencies to conducting field research inside developing thunderstorms.

Join the team

There’s no simple playbook for this work.

A forecast is only useful if an agency can make sense of it and act on the information. A new technology needs to work under the real conditions faced by the people using it. That’s the kind of work we do at Skyward.

You’ll collaborate with people across science, engineering, operations, and commercial teams. We’re small enough that individual contributions matter, and the problems are complex enough that we’re constantly learning from one another.

We’re looking for people who enjoy getting into the details, challenging assumptions, and seeing their work put to use.
