About Our Client

ErthSearch is working with Puloli, an energy technology company that provides a continuous monitoring Solution-as-a-Service for methane emissions. Founded by tech and energy veterans, the company combines IoT technology with full-stack software development to replace outdated, reactive approaches with a real-time, always-on tracking service. Their purpose-built platform transforms raw field data into actionable, accurate quantification, helping energy operations move confidently from uncertainty to decisive emissions management. 

The Role 

We are seeking an Atmospheric Scientist or Research Engineer who will research and apply modeling methods for atmospheric transport and dispersion to recreate complex emission events. In this role, you will translate textbook scientific formulas into code frameworks ("recipes") that can be automated by our software team.
