About Us

Cambio Earth is an enterprise SaaS company headquartered in Vancouver, BC. With a foundation of more than 20 years as part of BGC Engineering, Cambio Earth is charting a new course, grounded in deep earth science expertise, with a mission to transform climate resiliency for critical infrastructure (think: pipelines, railways, roads, highways, mines, dams, levees and other assets). We do that by unlocking real-time earth science intelligence through advanced geospatial data integration, distributed services and microservices, machine learning, and some sweet analytics and visualization tools.

Going back to our mission, the climate is changing, and the exact implications remain unclear for infrastructure operators, governments, and communities. What we know is that the frequency of geohazards such as floods, landslides, rockfalls, earthquakes, wildfires and hurricanes is increasing and threatens the integrity of critical infrastructure. We are looking for like-minded individuals who want to work on a highly scalable, cutting edge, distributed application that helps protect people, essential services, and the environment to join our team.

When you join Cambio Earth's software development team, you’ll get to work alongside world-class engineers and geoscientists where you can apply your software development knowledge to build robust web applications that monitor potential geological hazards and risks in real-time.

This position is hybrid and based in downtown Vancouver, other locations will not be considered.
