Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This listing stands out in the SaaS landscape because it is essentially an evergreen intake for a company building a cloud platform alongside complex real world systems. Even though the core mission is ocean exploration, the software component described is productised and platform oriented, which places the work closer to SaaS than to one off services or pure R&D.
For a SaaS career, this kind of open application can signal a chance to be matched to problems that emerge as the platform matures, from core cloud engineering to product management and design. The environment implied here rewards engineers and operators who can translate messy data and operational constraints into reliable, scalable software workflows, a pattern that shows up across modern SaaS in areas like data platforms, observability, and infrastructure tooling.
This role is best suited to professionals who prefer ambiguity over tightly scoped requisitions and who want their background considered across multiple potential teams. It also fits candidates who value mission driven domains but still want to build durable SaaS skills in cloud systems, product thinking, and cross functional delivery.
The section above is editorial commentary from The SaaS Jobs, provided to help SaaS professionals understand the role in a broader industry context.
Job Description
About Bedrock
Bedrock is operationalizing the largest Earth-exploration mission in human history. We’re doing that by developing robotics & software to explore, map, and classify the entirety of Earth's ocean floor. The oceans are a critical component of climate stabilization. Our hope is to provide critical subsea data and infrastructure to further understand and predict the fundamental forces that support harmonious human existence on this planet.
About You and The Role
The ocean covers over 70% of our planet—we need the sea to survive—but despite its importance we know little about it: over 80% of the ocean has never been mapped; moreover, it’s believed that less than 5% has been mapped at least at a 100m resolution.
The truth is that humans know much more about the surfaces of the Moon and Mars than our own ocean floor. We at Bedrock think that needs to change. Quickly.
To tackle this mission, we’re using autonomous submarines (AUV's) and our novel cloud platform to drive understanding of the ocean. We are scaling quickly, but tend to focus on a limited number of roles at any given time to ensure we hire well. So if this sounds like you and you want to be in our system for early consideration, please apply for the (hopefully near) future.
We're a small, but quickly growing community of individuals bonded by our drive to do good in this world. We love what we do and want to work alongside others whose hearts are in it too.
There is an urgent need to map the whole ocean, and we believe that Bedrock has a moral obligation to get this done the right way. Read more about how we feel about only hiring good people here, and about Bedrock as a Public Benefit Corporation here and here.
