WHY WE WOULD WORK AT RAINMAKER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
Work on Water Scarcity
Help develop proven technologies that combat water scarcity and support aquifer recharge, watershed management, agriculture, and ecosystem restoration.
Build the Water Platform
Work across Stratus forecasting, Elijah autonomous aircraft, atmospheric sensors, radar, satellite data, and precipitation-validation tools—not just a single product.
Advance Atmospheric Science
Join research spanning cloud microphysics, aerosol-cloud interactions, radar meteorology, quantitative precipitation estimation, and machine-learning-based atmospheric analysis.
Scale Deep-Tech Operations
Help expand a 2023-founded company backed by a $100 million Series B, operating cloud-seeding programs across western U.S. states and investing in national-lab and university research.
Collaborate Across Disciplines
Work alongside atmospheric scientists, radar specialists, data analysts, material scientists, engineers, and field operators in a compact 11–50-person organization.
Measure Real-World Impact
Contribute to missions designed to produce measurable precipitation, with Rainmaker reporting 145 million verified gallons and 82 unambiguous seeding signatures validated through radar and satellite data.

PRODUCT AND TECH
Stratus Forecasting Platform
Rainmaker's proprietary Stratus platform combines weather forecasting, nowcasting, and more than 20 data integrations to identify suitable cloud-seeding conditions. It supports mission planning and real-time operational monitoring.
Elijah UAV Systems
Purpose-built Elijah unmanned aircraft carry atmospheric sensors and aerosol-dispersal systems into suitable clouds. The aircraft are designed for autonomous, high-altitude flight in cold and severe icing conditions.
Atmospheric Sensing
Integrated sensors collect atmospheric and flight data to characterize cloud conditions and guide seeding operations. Rainmaker applies atmospheric science and cloud-microphysics research to improve targeting and delivery.
Radar Validation Systems
Rainmaker uses 25 kW X-band radar, NEXRAD, GOES, polar-orbiting satellite data, and quantitative precipitation estimation to evaluate seeding outcomes. These tools support precipitation measurement and data-driven attribution.
Cloud-Seeding Services
Rainmaker provides glaciogenic cloud-seeding infrastructure and operational services for water agencies, governments, agricultural stakeholders, and other organizations. Its approach enhances precipitation from suitable existing clouds rather than creating clouds from nothing.
