Full Job Description
Thousands of users trust our fast-growing weather safety platform across school districts, cities, universities, golf courses, and other industries. Our software and connected hardware enable rapid decision-making for organizations facing the threat of weather disruption: How long can I wait to pull players off the field for the nearby storm?
