About the Position

About the Company

Lobelia’s team is composed of passionate experts in physics, earth sciences, graphic design, computer science, engineering, and business.

We work with trusted data providers and have a growing network of international collaborators that are as engaged as we are to drive for change.

Why You Should Work at Lobelia

At Lobelia, we combine Earth Observation, climate science, environmental modelling, data science, and software engineering to bridge this gap. We develop solutions that transform complex data into actionable insights, helping organizations understand risks, anticipate change, and make better-informed decisions in a rapidly changing environment.
