Understory - <a href="http://www.understoryweather.com" > - Boston, MA
About us:
Understory generates real-time, localized, atmospheric data, powered by its dense grids of proprietary weather stations. We are building the next generation of weather data and you can be an integral part of the team. Our weather stations are being carefully crafted for their first deployment and the atmospheric measurements are the most important asset.
Our small company of three recently raised a seed round of $1.9 million and we are looking to grow our team.
We are currently working out of the Bolt (bolt.io) space in downtown Boston. It is an awesome office with great people, a ton of rapid prototyping equipment, idea paint conference rooms, full kitchen, and free coffee and (sometimes) beer. Come check it out!
We are looking for:

Blend open-source technology with proprietary hardware to deliver real time data to customers quickly and efficiently. Build the robust interface between the weather stations and the web so that not a single data point is lost. Archive data so that it can be accessed years from now to lay the groundwork for the most detailed weather statistical models ever created.

Data Scientist
Use statistical and machine learning techniques with our proprietary sensor data to help solve the current data sparsity problem. Use findings from our local grids to improve the picture of nation-wide weather effects.  Explore the business opportunities for such high density data in the current market of sparse data. Join the team that will revolutionize weather data.
