Zurich, Switzerland

Geospatial Data / Climate Risk Engineer (80-100%)

Background CLIMADA Technologies

Emerging from the academic research group of Weather & Climate Risk at ETH Zurich, CLIMADA Technologies is a spin-off of ETH Zurich and a globally operating climate risk analytics company bringing opportunity to climate adaptation. Our technology is built on CLIMADA, the open-source and global platform for probabilistic multi-hazard risk modeling and options appraisal.

CLIMADA Technologies covers both acute and chronic hazards and expands the datasets available in the CLIMADA data API, which provides probabilistic hazard event sets at high spatial resolution for present as well as future climate conditions.

Marrying these hazard sets with individual asset and vulnerability data, CLIMADA Technologies generates detailed physical risk analytics spanning both direct and indirect impacts.

About the role

We’re seeking an enthusiastic and technically-driven geospatial or climate-risk specialist - ideally a Geospatial Data Engineer - who excels at processing spatial data at scale and transforming complex climate and hazard datasets into actionable insights. You’ll drive the development and delivery of our physical climate risk solutions, both scientifically and technically, thereby supporting corporate clients in understanding and managing climate change-related risks. This includes the development and standardization of models to quantify the impacts of climate-related hazards (such as indirect impact models for business interruptions following extreme events). On the technical side, you will design and implement cloud-native data pipelines in AWS, optimize (geospatial) data lakes, build scalable geospatial analytics services with APIs, and develop reusable workflows.
