You’ll have a large impact on the direction of our company, and will be compensated accordingly.\nWe’re MIT-founded and backed by top generalist and climate tech investors, including Founders Fund, Energy Impact Partners, Lux Capital and Y Combinator (S21).\nIf you’re excited to work on interesting problems with direct climate impact, you’re going to fit right in!
