At Aircapture we’re creating technology to solve what we believe to be our lifetime’s most pressing challenge: the climate crisis. We supply commercial and industrial customers with clean CO₂ captured from our atmosphere to radically improve the environment, our economy, and our lives. We value building a team of people who represent diverse backgrounds—be it through education, gender, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation—to reach our goals. Thank you for considering us.
You will shape the data foundation that runs our technology by owning the pipelines, models, and analyses that turn operational data from our Direct Air Capture (DAC) systems into the insights that our engineers and scientists rely upon. Partnering with our test and engineering teams, you’ll turn the continuous stream of sensor, process, and test data from the physical equipment in the field and shop into actionable decisions. You have built and run production data systems in a hardware or physical product environment, and are comfortable with the realities of real-world sensor data, making durable architectural choices that hold up over time. If this sounds like you and you are excited to have a major impact at a groundbreaking climate technology startup, we want to hear from you!
This role is onsite at our development and production facility in Berkeley, California.
Salary: $180,000-$220,000 per year

Your Skills and Experience Include
Aircapture strives to create a safe, inclusive, equitable, and diverse workplace. Every teammate adds to who we are, diversifying our ideas, experiences, and viewpoints and making us stronger. We hope you feel welcome here.
Aircapture is creating a circular commercial carbon economy utilizing novel Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. Our modular, on-site DAC machines capture CO2 from the atmosphere and make it immediate available for our customers' production processes. The result is a cheaper, cleaner and greener supply of CO2.
Previously, commercially available CO2 was produced and distributed only in ways that generate large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions, result in product impurities and include the often-substantial friction costs from transportation.
For every tonne of delivered CO2, we estimate two or more tonnes of CO2 are emitted into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and creating significant supply chain emissions, the cost of which are likely to materially increase.
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions alone is not enough to avoid catastrophic climate change. Atmospheric carbon dioxide removal addresses legacy emissions and drives the development of critical, sustainable carbon-negative infrastructure.
By utilizing atmospheric CO2, we can actually turn back the hands of time – reversing much of the damage that has already been done – while enabling our customers to economically build new carbon-to-value industries and alleviate energy poverty on a global scale.
Our mission is to use Direct Air Capture (DAC) to help achieve these goals. DAC can be sited practically anywhere. There are no natural or technical limits to its scale, the quantity of carbon dioxide it removes is verifiable and it is cost-effective today.
