Job Description:
The Mission
We believe that the future of ocean understanding and
predictability will be increasingly data-driven. We build the data
acquisition infrastructure to power that. The next frontier is the
seamless integration of observations with traditional weather
forecasts and data-driven (machine learning) techniques. We are
looking for an exceptional and energizing senior research scientist
in the field of Machine Learning/AI to shape this vision and make
this a reality.
The Role
You will be part of the Ocean Science team at Sofar, taking charge
of our emergent AI/ML R&D efforts. You are expected to help
develop key prediction algorithms, collaborate with software
engineers on building data-pipelines and interface with all parts
of the organization (product, marketing, sales, etc.) to help
transition R&D into products.
You are expected to individually lead internal projects and
participate as a Principle Investigator on grant funded efforts.
You will be expected to actively participate in the writing and
application process of government funded grants as well as playing
a key role in execution. This position will support a combination
of research and research-to-operations transition, and you you will
be expected to make pragmatic decisions that help drive advances in
Sofar's product offerings.
Competencies
We are looking for an enthusiastic, proactive person who is able to
make decisions and operate with minimal oversight. You must have
strong analytical skills and good work ethic and a strong
willingness - when needed - to work hard and get the job done.
Priorities may change, especially since this is a new role at Sofar
(and we are still a startup!), so an ability to adapt quickly to
new priorities is key. Lastly, we are looking for someone who has
the ability to develop and coach others on the team to improve
performance and prepare them for future roles.

Sofar's Commitment to Climate Justice
We at Sofar Ocean acknowledge that careers in the marine sciences
"... have traditionally been, and remain, non-diverse work
environments", thereby limiting the entry and prosperity of
underrepresented groups in the space. (Johri et al., 2021) Many of
these same groups are disproportionately affected by climate
change, and are often excluded from decision-making that directly
address their interests and needs.
We are committed to addressing these climate injustices and highly
encourage people who identify as women, LGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous,
and people of color (BIPOC) to apply.
