Founded in 2020 and having raised over $40M, we're leading the fight against wildfires using IoT, AI, satellites, and SaaS solutions.

We offer competitive compensation ($150,000-$207,000), stock options, comprehensive benefits, and the chance to work with cutting-edge technology. The ideal candidate brings strong backend development experience, excellent problem-solving skills, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment.
