We are hiring to make water better!

Water, a resource of unparalleled importance, is often deemed the lifeblood of our planet. However, the water industry has long been criticized for its reluctance to innovate and embrace new technologies that could liberate skilled professionals from the tedious, time-consuming administrative work that has burdened their expertise. This reluctance comes at a steep cost, as water prices continue to rise, an aging workforce struggles to adapt, and multi-million dollar infrastructure decisions are made without the benefit of the most accurate and up-to-date data. Our mission at Klir (www.klir.com) is to make water better, and we believe this transformation begins with the individuals positioned at the nexus of all water-related decisions within a community. Klir represents a groundbreaking concept in the industry – the world's first work enablement platform, meticulously designed for the water sector. Our goal is simple: to alleviate the administrative load, allowing experts to dedicate their invaluable time to solving one of the most pressing issues facing our species. Join us in this journey where dedication to a greater good combines seamlessly with cutting-edge innovation, as we work towards a more sustainable and water-resilient future for all.

Founded originally in Dublin, Ireland in 2018, Klir is a US Headquartered company with offices in the US, Canada and Ireland. Klir is a remote first company and is one of the fastest growing SaaS companies in the water industry. We are venture backed by some of the highest profile and most reputable funds including Insight Partners, Bowery Capital & Spider Capital.

Location: This position is fully remote but we're open for candidates from Canada, US, or Ireland.
