Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Files H-1B transfers

1 transfer filing in the last year, covering 1 worker. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • WindBorne Systems is supercharging weather forecasts with a unique proprietary data source: a global constellation of next-generation smart weather balloons targeting the most critical atmospheric data.
  • The constellation team keeps our fleet flying and decides where it goes.
  • Some weeks you're heads-down on documentation and tooling; other weeks you're trying to shepherd a cluster of twenty balloons across the Pacific.

Responsibilities

  • You'll own end-to-end operational performance across a rotating set of projects. In a givenmonth, you might:
  • You'll own end-to-end operational performance across a rotating set of projects.
  • We design, manufacture, and operate our own balloons, using the data they collect to generate otherwise unattainable weather intelligence.
  • It's an unusually wide surface area, and we're hiring someone to own a meaningful slice of it.

Requirements

  • You can sit across from a customer who's never encountered our tech, and help them understand and trust the operations you've carried out.
  • Comfort with uncertainty and shifting priorities.
  • In person required.
  • When a procedure doesn't exist, you write it instead of waiting to be told it's your job. You like keeping a lot of balls in the air, and you're ready to dive into anything that needs to be done.
  • Genuine curiosity about how the world works. The job involves balloons, atmospheric science, radio, airspace, and defense tech - you don't need a background in any of these, but you should find them interesting enough to want to learn.
  • You can sit across from a customer who's never encountered our tech, and help them understand and trust the operations you've carried out. The constellation team is the part of ops that is in itself a product, and it matters how we present ourselves and communicate with external collaborators.
  • Comfort with uncertainty and shifting priorities. Procedures evolve, hardware changes, customers reprioritize. You're someone who finds this energizing rather than exhausting.

  • Procedures evolve, hardware changes, customers reprioritize.
  • We are building a future in which the planet is instrumented by thousands of our microballoons, eliminating gaps in our understanding of the planet and giving people and businesses the information they need to make critical decisions.
  • Day to day, most of our work centers on the 1% of edge cases-the novel, the weird, the unpredictable-and serves two functions: it's a testing ground where edge cases surface bugs and validate new capabilities, and it's forward-deployed customer work where new features get demoed to and studied directly with customers in a hands-on way.
  • $90K-$120K We are considering a range of backgrounds and experience levels for this position and adjust our offers accordingly to be competitive with market rates.
