Our Vision

WindBorne Systems is supercharging weather models with a unique proprietary data source: constellations of next-generation smart weather balloons targeting the most critical atmospheric data. We then combine that unique data source with the world’s most accurate AI weather models. Our long-term vision 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. The founding team of Stanford engineers was named Forbes 2019 30 under 30 and is backed by top investors including Khosla Ventures.


Your Role

WindBorne has the best data and the best forecasts in the world, and we won’t be satisfied until we have the best product. We need a visionary Product Designer to join us in redefining paradigms of interaction in an industry that hasn’t seen major innovation in decades. 

You will join a product strike-team within the company, working closely with our CPO, business team, and engineers to realize ambitious visions at the forefront of technological feasibility as intuitive and delightful experiences. 

This job is not about pushing pixels around on boutique interfaces. You will be building the machine that builds the machine: conceiving of novel ways of delivering and acting on data and building a framework for interacting with AI that  generates specific, actionable insights across multiple industries. 

Who You Are

  • You bring scalpel-like insight to ambiguous problems. You fluently apply structured frameworks to amorphous problem-spaces for pointed analysis.

  • You’ve honed your craft in industry and have the conviction to own end-to-end design on a smaller team. 

  • You’re comfortable with every part of the design process, shepherding products from idea to UX to pixel-perfect execution.

  • Your preferred way of testing new ideas is sprinting to prototypes and playing with them in the real world. 

  • You’re passionate about speculative models of interaction design, excited by novel tools for thought, and driven to push the boundaries of how users interact with technology.

  • You know how to realize your blue-sky vision with a concrete roadmap, ruthlessly prioritizing and executing the highest leverage features to drive user value at each stage of development.

  • You aren’t precious about your ideas. You work with the garage door open, and you care about the best solution, not who came up with it.
