Software Engineer (All Levels)

As a Software Engineer on the Data Systems Engineering team at KoBold, your main role will be to enable systematic exploration and materially improve exploration success rates by making mineral exploration data broadly accessible to humans and machines.

• Deep engagement with exploration geologists and data scientists, continual learning about mineral exploration, and tailoring technology development to the needs of exploration project scientists
• Building data pipelines and tooling for deriving advanced human and machine insights from exploration data, often leading a small group of software engineers to successful delivery
• Developing expertise in KoBold's Data Systems and deeply understanding how they impact exploration
• End-to-end ownership of projects from design to implementation and testing to continued engagement with colleagues on exploration teams using your solutions

Your work will empower KoBold to unlock invaluable insights and streamline intricate scientific processes. Together we can shape the future of mineral exploration and contribute to building a sustainable world.

• 4+ years of software engineering experience, ideally building production cloud data systems
• Proficiency with Python
• Ability to write production-quality code that is correct, readable, well-tested, scalable and extensible
• Skilled in large-scale system design
• A track record of taking ownership from definition of the problem and delivering projects with demonstrated impact in an iterative manner
• Intellectual curiosity and eagerness to learn about all aspects of mineral exploration, particularly in the geology domain

The US base salary range for this full-time exempt position is $150,000 - $240,000. KoBold is a remote-first workplace.

KoBold builds AI models for mineral exploration and deploys those models—alongside our novel sensors—to guide decisions on KoBold-owned-and-operated exploration programs. KoBold has proven its first discovery with materially less capital than the industry average and found one of the best copper deposits ever discovered.
