Product Builder

WindBorne Systems is supercharging weather forecasts with a unique proprietary data source: a global constellation of next-generation smart weather balloons targeting the most critical atmospheric data. We design, manufacture, and operate our own balloons, using the data they collect to generate otherwise unattainable weather intelligence.

Our mission 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. We are building a future in which the planet is instrumented by thousands of our microballoons, eliminating gaps in our understanding of the planet and giving people and businesses the information they need to make critical decisions. The founding team of Stanford engineers was named Forbes 2019 30 under 30 and is backed by top-tier investors, including Khosla Ventures and Footwork VC.

You're detail-oriented, highly curious about AI-assisted software development, and love interfacing directly with frontend code. If you’re looking to leverage design to tackle climate change head-on, this role is for you.

What we’re looking for:

• 2+ years of experience building B2B products (interactive tools, not static dashboards)

• Design intuition for crafting seamless, intuitive experiences that feel precise & dynamic

• Sufficient technical fluency to inspect frontend code and push changes

• Pixel-perfect attention to detail, with care for fine-tuning visual elements & interactions

• Customer-facing experience (discovery calls, UX research techniques)

• Demonstrated passion for sustainability and curiosity about weather

Nice to haves:

• Love working with geospatial data to generate unique visualizations
