Terra AI

Savvy Admin PROD

**About Terra AI**

We are building the state-of-the-art AI platform for the discovery and development of clean energy and mineral resources. We bring the most advanced techniques in generative AI, foundation modeling, and autonomous decision optimization to tackle the most important problems in the geosciences. These systems can help more reliably identify critical resource deposits, more rapidly measure and characterize them, and design more efficient and sustainable production plans.

We are backed by Khosla Ventures and other leading venture investors. We are now looking to grow our team from ~15 to ~30 by the end of the year to continue to mature our technology and support deployment with our world-class mineral and clean energy partners.

**Scope & Responsibilities**

We are seeking a broadly capable applied geophysicist with exposure across multiple geophysical methods to help run and deliver geophysical modeling programs supporting mineral exploration initiatives. This role will work closely with Terra AI’s technical teams to integrate geophysical modeling, probabilistic workflows, and geological interpretation into modern exploration decision-making.

-  QA/QC and process geophysical datasets acquired through external exploration programs

-  Build forward models and support geophysical interpretation workflows

-  Compare modeled and observed datasets to refine subsurface interpretations

-  Produce technical reports, visualizations, and exploration recommendations

-  Work within Python-based geophysical modeling environments and reproducible workflows

-  Collaborate closely with geologists and technical stakeholders across exploration programs

-  Support the continued development of scalable geophysical modeling workflows

**Candidate Qualifications**

-  Experience in applied or exploration geophysics

-  Strong experience with electromagnetic and/or potential field methods

-  Experience contributing to or leading geophysical modeling programs

-  Strong analytical or programming capabilities within Python-based environments

-  Familiarity with geophysical modeling tools such as SimPEG or similar platforms

-  Experience with geophysical data QA/QC and technical reporting

-  Exposure to inversion workflows, probabilistic modeling, or collaborative software development practices is considered beneficial

~~We recognize that exceptional geophysicists may come from a variety of technical, academic, and industry backgrounds. If your experience aligns strongly with the role, we encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every listed qualification.~~

**Compensation & Benefits**

$185,000 - $225,000 usd.

~~In accordance with California law, Terra AI provides a good faith base salary range for roles that may be performed in California. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, skills, and market considerations. In addition to base salary, total compensation may include performance bonus opportunities, equity participation, and a comprehensive benefits package.~~
