WHY WE NEED YOU? GLAD YOU ASKED...

At Pelmorex, we’re on a mission to transform weather and environmental data into decision-grade insights for businesses and consumers. Our B2B products help organizations make smarter, safer, and more profitable decisions.

To support this mission, we’re growing our Engineering Insights team and investing in a scalable data analytics and insights platform.

The Opportunity You will play a foundational role in architecting and building the data systems and analytics capabilities that power multiple B2B products. Your work will directly shape how data is ingested, validated, transformed, and consumed across our B2B product portfolio, ensuring it is reliable, scalable, and decision-ready for our customers. In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with a small, entrepreneurial team of Engineers, Product Managers, and Data Scientists to turn raw data into real-world impact.

Fair and Authentic Interview Experience

We welcome candidates using AI tools to prepare for interviews or to learn more about Pelmorex. During the interviews themselves, we expect responses to come from your own experience and thinking.

We ask that candidates not use real-time AI assistance, live answer prompts, or automated response tools during interviews. This helps ensure a fair process for everyone and allows us to evaluate how you approach problems and communicate in your own voice.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
