### Overview
Scoot Science is a California-based, remote-first startup founded in 2017 by a
team of experienced oceanographers, agricultural economists, software
engineers, and data scientists. We promote responsible and sustainable use of
our oceans.
Our team is dedicated to illuminating the linkages between ocean conditions
and the ocean economy through operational intelligence, data analysis, and
forecasting. Our goal is to give our customers the best insight into what’s
currently happening, and what will be happening, in their coastal oceans. We
give our customers a critical edge in marine operations, risk management, and
long term planning by combining the best available ocean and atmospheric data
with in-house analytics and visualization.
If you love the ocean and are excited about the intersection of technology,
data, and operations... let’s talk.
### The Opportunity
We are hiring an enterprising and motivated data or software engineer with
excellent development and coding skills. This team member will contribute to
our flagship product, SeaState, bridging the gap between ocean sensors, data
infrastructure, and user experience for our aquaculture customers. We expect
candidates to have professional software or data engineering experience, but
they need not have direct experience with all parts of our stack as long as
they bring a willingness to learn.
### The Scoot Science Team
Our team is distributed and we practice remote work. We communicate
asynchronously and in real time to foster a collaborative work environment. We
also participate in periodic in-person meetings to focus on team building and
strategy. We encourage all of our team members to be continuous learners and
diversify their skills through professional development.
