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 dev interns who got into it because they love pushing browsers and backends to their limits or presenting data in new ways. We will accept frontend, backend, or fullstack. Our core technologies are Ruby on Rails and React.
Responsibilities
There's no such thing as an intern project at WindBorne: you'll be working on real tasks that meaningfully impact our ability to build a planetary nervous system and change the way humans interact with the weather. Depending on when you join, this may mean working on our mission control suite, the system that lets us control thousands of balloons as they circle around the globe. Or, it may mean working on our customer-facing products, building tools for businesses to make sense of the weather as it impacts everything from solar production to shipping logistics. You'll start off with small tweaks to get familiar with the code base then graduate to bigger and bigger features.
Skills And Qualifications
You should have great fluency with React, Ruby on Rails, or both. While you don't need to have formal work experience, you should definitely have worked on your own projects outside of class assignments. You should be a fast learner and prepared to quickly digest a torrent of information. You should also be the kind of person that cares deeply about the fundamentals of web development, reasoning from first principles about what makes a solution "good".
Anything on the design side will be a big point in your favor, be it a love of figma or an obsession with CSS.
