Pitch a Role / General Opportunities

This is a general application for future opportunities at Reflective. Specific responsibilities will vary by role, but generally involve:

• Working on technically hard, politically complex, and deeply consequential problems related to climate risk reduction
• Building structure where none exists and revising it as new evidence emerges
• Conducting careful, high-impact research that earns public trust
• Operating productively in ambiguity while maintaining analytical clarity

This role contributes to equipping the world with the data and tools needed to make informed decisions about sunlight reflection (SAI), which could meaningfully reduce climate risks over the coming decades alongside emissions reductions and carbon removal.

While specific requirements will vary by role, Reflective generally seeks candidates who:

• Approach complex problems with rigor and humility
• Can operate productively in ambiguity and build structure where none exists
• Hold themselves to a high bar for analytical clarity and written communication
• Are motivated by the responsibility of working on research that may affect millions of lives

Benefits mentioned include:

• Moving stipend for candidates relocating to the Bay Area
• Travel coverage for conferences, external meetings, and team gatherings
• Regular team co-working weeks, typically in the Bay Area
• Visa sponsorship for US-based foreign nationals
• Inclusive work environment that celebrates diversity

Reflective is a philanthropically-funded nonprofit working to close the evidence gap around sunlight reflection (SAI). Their mission is to equip the world with the data and tools needed to make informed decisions about SAI, fast enough to matter.
