Overview

• Jua’s mission is focused on achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) through a deep exploration of physics, the universe, and their interaction with the human civilisation
• To achieve this, we are operating a foundational earth systems model. Our first model is capable of predicting atmospheric physics globally, with state-of-the-art performance in comparison to existing weather models. As we scale the model, more applications like wildfire, flood or vegetation prediction become possible.
• Our first product is an API for weather-dependent power and energy traders, providing better accuracy, lower latency, and a higher refresh rate while outperforming legacy technologies on significant events such as hurricanes, cyclones, and others.
• Having raised millions in venture capital (at a sensible valuation), our first objective will be to provide businesses and countries with several orders of magnitude better and faster weather forecasts.
• You will be surrounded by people who have built several successful companies before and worked on exciting technologies used by hundreds of millions of people and thousands of businesses.
• You will contribute to our culture of an extremely high level of ambition, direct and friendly communication, rapid iteration, and a healthy dose of humility. The team is completely remote, with hubs in Zurich, Berlin, London, and Cape Town.
• We offer exciting challenges, creative freedom, an extremely smart and cheerful team, fair compensation, and generous shares in the company.

We are bridge builders and bring together the best in machine learning, physics, aerospace, data processing, and UX design. Together, we will build one of the key components to enable a world worth living in at a time of changing climate and increasing extreme events.
