Job Description

Who we are

**The problem:** Every minute matters in fire response. As climate change
amplifies the intensity of wildfires—with longer fire seasons, dryer fuels,
and faster winds—new ignitions spread faster and put more communities at risk.
Today, most wildfires are detected by bystanders and reported via 911, meaning
it can take hours to detect a fire, verify its exact location and size, and
dispatch first responders. Fire authorities need a faster way to detect,
confirm, and pinpoint fires so that they can quickly respond—preventing small
flare-ups from becoming devastating infernos.

**About Pano:** Pano is a venture-backed early-stage climate tech startup that
is the leader in wildfire early detection, leveraging the latest advancements
in IoT, AI, satellites, and SaaS software to deliver actionable intelligence
to customers. Pano leverages mountaintop cameras and satellites to detect the
first traces of smoke and put real-time fire images in the hands of asset
owners and first responders to speed up containment. Pano is already
partnering with major utilities, fire authorities, and government agencies in
the USA and Australia. Recent media coverage includes being named one of the
Top 10 most innovative companies in AI of 2023 by FastCompany and recipient of
the Innovative Mobile Service and Application Award at Mobile World Congress
through our partnership with T-Mobile.
