As Rainmaker's Director of Industrial Partnerships, you will drive the commercial adoption of precipitation enhancement services across critical industries whose operations depend on reliable water and snowpack-fed resources. Your focus will be on identifying, developing, and partnering with operators in mining, oil & gas, hydroelectric power, and large-scale industrial water users across the Western United States and other water-stressed regions. You will translate Rainmaker's proven seeding technology into compelling value propositions for industrial operators and build a pipeline of revenue-generating partnerships with companies whose production, uptime, and license to operate are directly tied to water availability.
\n
\n\n
Identify and qualify prospects across mining, oil & gas, hydroelectric, and other large industrial sectors whose operations, production volumes, or capital planning are materially impacted by precipitation, reservoir levels, and basin water yield.\nDevelop and manage a pipeline of industrial partnership opportunities from initial outreach through contract execution, tracking prospects across multiple verticals and geographies.\nDesign and propose commercial deal structures including service contracts, outcome-based pricing tied to precipitation or basin yield, cost-sharing arrangements across co-located operators, and consortium funding models.\nEngage industrial operators, utilities, independent power producers, and large-scale water users as both customers and co-investors in precipitation enhancement programs.\nCoordinate with Rainmaker's Government Affairs team to identify public-private partnership opportunities where industrial investment can complement state or federal watershed, reservoir, and water security funding.\nBuild coalitions of industrial operators, utilities, water districts, and basin stakeholders who collectively benefit from increased precipitation — creating multi-party funding structures for seeding programs within shared watersheds.\nPursue strategic partnerships with industry associations, trade groups, and ESG-focused stakeholders to raise awareness for Rainmaker and cloud seeding as a water security and sustainability tool for resource-intensive industries.\nOrganize and facilitate site visits, demonstrations, and technical briefings for prospective industrial partners and investors at Rainmaker project sites.\n\n"},{"text":"Qualifications","content":"\n\n

Rainmaker builds systems to make it rain. Our autonomous drone fleets and weather modification platform operate worldwide: expanding freshwater supplies, protecting agriculture, and proving that cloud seeding works at scale. Governments and private operators trust us with their rivers, farms, and mountains.
\n
We need an engineer to build the software that wins those deals and grows them.
\n
The Role
\n
You will own the platform that shapes how the world sees Rainmaker: interactive campaign visualizations, geospatial dashboards, operational summaries, and proposal tooling. This is greenfield work. You will define the product, own the stack, and craft how every prospect and customer experiences our technology.
\n
You report to engineering and hold full ownership of architecture and design. It is a high-agency role with direct access to our CEO, COO, and the customers we serve. What you build will directly determine which contracts close.
\n
What You'll Build
\n
\n- \n
Customer-facing results portals: precipitation data, flight tracks, seeding plume dispersion made legible to all audiences at a glance
\n \n- \n
Interactive GIS tooling for proposals and RFPs, layering operational data over terrain, watersheds, and target areas
\n \n- \n
A demo environment that lets sales tell data-driven stories without filing engineering tickets
\n \n- \n
A component library and visual identity for all external-facing software, ensuring everything Rainmaker ships feels like Rainmaker
\n \n- \n
Instrumentation to understand what resonates with prospects and drives pipeline
\n \n
\n
About You
\n
\n- \n
You own products end-to-end: frontend (React, TypeScript), enough backend to be dangerous (Python or Node, databases, deployment), and the taste to make good decisions without waiting for a designer
\n \n- \n
You have shipped real work with data visualization and geospatial tools: D3, Mapbox, Deck.gl, Leaflet, or similar
\n \n- \n
You care about craft. Typography, color, whitespace, and interaction design are not afterthoughts
\n \n- \n
You move comfortably through ambiguity. You receive problems and priorities from leadership, not PRDs and architecture docs
\n \n- \n
You have translated complex technical concepts for audiences who do not share your vocabulary
\n \n
\n
Nice to Have
\n
\n- \n
Experience with atmospheric, meteorological, or environmental data

Context
\n
Rainmaker is ~120 people. The software team is small. You will have an outsized influence on what gets built and how. We operate globally, our product and data are complex, and our customers are decision-makers evaluating whether to entrust national water resources to our technology. This role will be key in ensuring that trust is built and maintained
