Geophysicist I
\nLocation: Salt Lake City, UT (hybrid)
Benefits Eligible: yes
Manager: Exploration Geophysics
\nWhy we exist and why we need you
\nGeothermal energy is the most abundant renewable energy source in the world. However, historically it’s been hard to find and expensive to develop. At Zanskar, we’re using advanced technology to find and develop new geothermal resources that make baseload geothermal a cost-effective and vital contributor to a carbon-free energy future. We are revolutionizing the exploration process, setting new industry standards for discovery rates by finding new prospects at an unprecedented scale and working to develop faster and cheaper with scale and reduced risk drilling.
\nWe're seeking a seismologist to image the subsurface using ambient noise. Working within our Exploration Geophysics team, you'll help convert passive seismic signals into actionable items: images of basement depth, and fault geometry, that can be jointly interpreted with additional geophysical techniques to inform a complete conceptual model for drilling geothermal resources.
\nOutcomes – Problems you’ll solve
\n\n- Build velocity models and image basement depth, layering, and fault structure from passive arrays
\n- Develop, benchmark, and refine passive seismic imaging methods
\n- Construct reproducible, well-documented processing pipelines (Python/ObsPy or equivalent) that scale to large datasets
\n- Work with Exploration and R&D teams to integrate passive imaging into prospect evaluation
\n
\nWhat we’re looking for
\nRequired
\n\n- Ph.D. or Master’s degree (completed or near completion) in geophysics, seismology, or a closely related field
\n- Demonstrated research expertise in passive seismic methods such as ambient noise tomography or microseismic analysis, evidenced by peer-reviewed publications
\n- Strong foundation in seismic signal processing and inversion
\n- Proficiency in scientific computing and reproducible workflows (e.g., Python, HPC), with version control (e.g., Git/GitHub)
\n- Ability to translate research-stage methods into practical, decision-grade tools under real-world data and time constraints
\n- Strong cross-disciplinary collaboration skills, able to communicate and integrate results effectively with geologists, geophysicists, engineers, and data scientists
\n
\nLocation and Benefits
\n\n- The position is based out of our headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is a hybrid position
\n- Benefits include:\n
\n- Paid holidays
\n- 18 days PTO + PTO accrual increase based on tenure

\n- 401k
\n- Short term disability
\n- Stock options

Senior/Staff Backend Engineer
\n
\nRole Overview
\nTitle:Senior/Staff Backend Engineer
\nHours: Full-Time, Salaried
\nLocation: Salt Lake City, UT, Hybrid
\nBenefits Eligible: Yes
\nManager: Head of Reservoir R&D
\n
\nWhy we exist
\nGeothermal energy is the most abundant renewable energy source in the world. There is 2,300 times more energy in geothermal heat in the ground than in oil, gas, coal, and methane combined. However, historically it’s been hard to find and expensive to develop. At Zanskar, we’re using better technology to find and develop new geothermal resources in order to make geothermal a cheap and vital contributor to a carbon-free electrical grid. We are revolutionizing the exploration process, setting new industry standards for discovery rates and finding new prospects at an unprecedented scale. To reduce risk and improve outcomes, we rely on novel software and machine learning modeling.
\n
\nWho you are
\nThe Senior/Staff Backend Engineer will play a critical role developing and maintaining Zanskar’s next-generation multi-physics well-targeting engine. A successful candidate will:
\n\n- Lead - you will be a trusted leader who can both design and deliver a reliable distributed compute system that meets the ongoing needs of our scientific research teams.
\n- Learn - you will be entering a team with an existing system in place that needs to grow and scale. You will learn the domain from your peers as you identify how to migrate the system for scale and reliability.
\n- Collaborate - you won’t just be working with people like yourself. You’ll be working with some of the most brilliant geophysicists, geoscientists, seismologists and engineers tackling the challenges of geothermal discovery. Collaborating with your peers to solve hard problems is the name of the game.
\n- Teach - you will bring critical skills and experience that should be taught to others. You will have the opportunity (and education) to help others better understand your craft as a distributed systems engineer, while you learn from them their craft in modeling the earth’s subsurface.
\n
\n
\nWhat we’re looking for
\n\n- Minimum 7+ years experience in software engineering in a business environment, ideally with a heavy scientific component.
\n- Experience leading the design and implementation of distributed computing systems.
\n- Proven technical skills:\n
\n- Experience with the development of fault-tolerant, resilient event-driven architectures, and building and managing orchestration systems to massively scale cloud-based workloads (serverless, Kubernetes, and/or custom VM fleets).
\n- Experience defining and developing persistent data storage for digital artifacts, both with RDBMS and cloud blob storage at scale.
\n- Experience ensuring system observability through logging, monitoring, alerting and metrics.
\n- Familiarity with software engineering best practices: CI/CD (GitHub Actions or similar), version control (GitHub), containerization (Docker) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi).
\n- Experience architecting, permissioning and maintaining cloud resources (GCP, AWS).
\n- Fluency in Python and SQL are required.
\n- Experience with any of the following is a plus: experiment tracking, optimization methods, applied algorithm development, reinforcement learning and other AI/ML techniques, web development, and familiarity with geoscience concepts and applications.
\n
