An Insider's view of Sensible Weather

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

Work-life balance is not just a buzzword, but is visible every day. We all value having time for the things we love - from sailing, to climbing, to painting - and with friends and family. This, along with trust in each other and accountability for ourselves, creates a flexible space where we work with people as interesting as the problems we solve.

We have exciting technical challenges around handling large geospatial data with low latency, building developer tooling to help scale, and finishing the foundation of our web application architectures - all with a focus on maintainability and ergonomics. The team is incredibly competent and down to earth, providing opportunities for skills growth.

What's something quirky about your company?

We unintentionally have a yearly mascot animal. No one decides what this animal is, it just become clear at some point during the year that this animal has played an outsized role in team conversations. In 2020 it was the penguin, 2021 was the goat, it’s looking like 2022 might be the year of the llama, but you really just have to wait and see.
