- Plan and lead field campaigns: mapping, sampling, and geophysical surveys
- Use our software and computational tools in the field to evaluate targets, characterize mineralization, and make drilling decisions in real time
- Log drill core and supervise drilling programs
- Build and interpret 3D geological models
- Work with engineers and scientists to turn field insight into better software and models
- Test our mobile and field tools and give direct UI/UX feedback
- Manage contractors, permitting, and field logistics
- Present field results to customers and support customer exploration projects
About You
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in geology, economic geology, or a related field
- 5+ years of mineral exploration experience, including 2+ years on a discovery or project that advanced to drilling
- Strong command of structural geology, ore deposit models, and geochemistry
- Experience with 3D modeling and GIS tools (e.g., Leapfrog, ArcGIS/QGIS), and comfortable working with data in Python (or eager to learn)

- Able to travel to remote parts of the US and world for extended periods
