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.
We’re hiring a Product Designer to join our Solutions team, which serves as WindBorne’s internal “venture studio”. Your mandate is to combine design and weather intelligence to build, ship, and scale high-impact solutions for critical industries. You’ll operate with significant autonomy and extreme ownership, crafting pixel-perfect designs and working closely with engineering to turn your product vision into polished, customer-facing experiences. If you’re looking to leverage design to tackle climate change head-on, this role is for you.
