Data Scientist, Sales

Rainmaker is ending water scarcity with next-generation cloud seeding. Through an integrated system of advanced radar, unmanned aircraft, and a cutting-edge weather awareness platform, we steward the natural world and make freshwater available to all. Cloud seeding delivers moderate, predictable increases in precipitation—and over years, those gains lead to powerful outcomes: restoring ecosystems, recharging aquifers, and reducing wildfire risk.

We are an engineering organization and a microcosm of El Segundo's deep-tech renaissance. We iterate quickly to solve the most important problem of our age.

We're looking for a Data Scientist to join our Business Development and Program Development teams. You'll be the analytical backbone behind how we demonstrate economic value to partners—quantifying the benefit of additional snowpack and water supply, and building the data infrastructure that correlates our operations to real-world outcomes for agriculture, municipalities, utilities, and environmental stakeholders.

This role sits at the intersection of environmental science, economics, and data storytelling. You'll work with messy, multi-source datasets (weather, hydrology, commodity pricing, land use, economic indicators) to produce clear, defensible benefit analyses that drive partnerships and program expansion.
