Help Us Tackle The Growing Wildfire Crisis With The Latest Advancements In Ai And Iot

The problem:
Every minute matters in fire response. As climate change amplifies the intensity of wildfires—with longer fire seasons, dryer fuels, and faster winds—new ignitions spread faster and put more communities ay, most wildfires are detected by bystanders and reported via 911, meaning it can take hours to detect a fire, verify its exact location and size, and dispatch first responders. Fire authorities need a faster way to detect, confirm, and pinpoint fires so that they can quickly respond—preventing small flare-ups from becoming devastating infernos.

For the Platform Engineer role, we're looking for somebody who will drive major projects in how we scale, secure, and monitor our systems and services throughout the entire organization.
