About Kairos Aerospace
At Kairos Aerospace, we combine innovative aerospace systems with advanced data science. Unlike traditional aerospace companies, we sell information, not hardware - we operate our sensors cost-effectively at continental scale to produce novel data streams about pressing global problems. First on our list: spotting hard-to-monitor emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that accelerates climate change. Since starting continuous survey operations in 2018, Kairos has removed methane emissions equal to over 9.2 million tonnes of CO2e through our work. To put that in perspective, that’s equivalent to over 2 million cars being removed from the roads for a year or shutting down about seventeen 350 MW coal-fired power plants. We call that a good start. As a team, we love science and engineering, we love getting our hands dirty with hardware and software, and we love seeing our work make a difference in the real world. We’ve created a diverse, collaborative, supportive, and fun environment based on integrity and treating people right. So no matter your gender, gender identity, race, age, beliefs, sexual orientation, or disabilities, we welcome you and would like to work with you. :-) It’s never boring, it’s always challenging, and we’re usually laughing.
The underlying strength of Kairos’ Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) value proposition is the scale of our coverage. In 2021 Kairos will perform basin-wide analyses in the Permian, DJ, San Juan, San Joaquin, Barnett, and potentially the Anadarko basin. Since starting continuous operations in 2018, we’ve taken the equivalent of over 3.2 M cars off the road. The scope of ESG data analysis will only grow as Kairos scales with all ESG products needing to meet Kairos’ data fidelity standards.
The ESG Data Analyst is a strategist who uses Kairos data to produce important facts, numbers, and information for teams across the company. As such, their work touches most departments and executives. This is a high impact position. Our ESG Data Analyst interfaces with existing systems to answer questions about the state of current or future business. The analyst might be asked to track our impact by assessing how many assets we covered and how much methane was reduced in any given year. Or, they might be asked how long it would take to cover all assets in a particular basin. They might work with R&D on our methane reduction methodology and presentations. They could even work with data to produce leads for the sales team, or track achieved revenue and costs on a monthly basis. The analyst also prepares presentations for ESG, sales, and leadership at Kairos.
The analyst slices and dices information for operators (customers), investors, and internal teams. The ESG Data Analyst serves as the resident expert on how to quantify emissions reduction and they are constantly on the move answering questions across the company. Here’s an example of how the facts uncovered by the ESG Data Analyst are used by Kairos.
A few important facts about working at Kairos Aerospace: - We provide health, dental, and vision insurance, including subsidized coverage for dependents. Our 401K plan does matching based on the amount of methane we removed from the atmosphere in a given year. - We think death-march hours are a bad way to run a company. We expect something approximating a 40-hour workweek, but mostly we just care that your work gets done. No, really. (Full disclosure: we occasionally put in some extra hours during crunch periods, but that is the exception, not the norm). - We do not track vacation time, nor do we have set hours to be in the office. Instead, we encourage taking real vacations, mental health days, leaving early to pick up the kids, working from home, time-shifting commutes, staying home when you're sick, ducking out to the gym - we believe work time should be flexible. In this time of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have transitioned to 100% remote work aside from hardware and flight operations and plan to continue having remote positions in perpetuity. (We love it when kids make a cameo in a video call.)
