About Us

Climate change is creating unprecedented challenges for businesses, governments, and communities worldwide. At Mitiga Solutions, we help organizations understand, anticipate, and manage climate-related risks through cutting-edge science and technology.

Born from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, home to one of Europe's most powerful supercomputers, we combine climate science, advanced modelling, and AI to transform complex data into actionable insights. Our solutions support decision-making across timescales ranging from real-time forecasting to long-term climate projections.

Our mission is simple: empower organizations to build resilience and adapt to a changing climate.

We are looking for a Climate Data Scientist to join our dynamic team. This role involves working with large-scale scientific datasets, applying machine learning techniques, and contributing to the development of innovative products such as dashboards, digital twins, and interactive visualizations. You will collaborate closely with data engineers and scientists to turn complex climate data into actionable insights.

What You’ll Do

Analyze and process large datasets using advanced algorithms and statistical methods.
Develop and refine models for climate risk assessment and predictive analytics.
Collaborate with engineering teams to design and deploy scalable data pipelines and applications.
Support integration of scientific requirements into analytical workflows and ensure model validation.
Contribute to Research & Innovation projects and the creation of new climate-related products.

What We're Looking For

PhD (mandatory) in computer science, engineering, mathematics, physics, climate/earth system science, or a related field.
Candidate Must be based in Spain or whiling to relocate.
Solid experience in data analysis, machine learning & climate science.
Strong programming skills in Python and familiarity with libraries like xarray, pandas, or similar.
Solid understanding of software engineering principles and version control (Git/GitHub).
Ability to work independently and collaboratively in an agile environment.
Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.

We are open to a range of backgrounds. What matters most is drive, intellectual curiosity, and a genuine interest in climate or infrastructure.

⭐️ Strong Plus

Experience with geospatial tools (e.g., QGIS) and visualization techniques.
Experience handling large, multi-dimensional datasets (e.g., netCDF, TIFF/GeoTIFF).
Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS) for large-scale data processing.
Background in remote sensing or risk modeling.

Diversity & inclusion

A recent study shows that one in every 10 tech workers in Spain are women. Only 8% of all contracts in 2019 with people with disabilities were in technology and science. Meanwhile, 30% of LGTBIQ people in Spain don't come out in the workplace for fear of discrimination.

This is neither the world we want to live in nor the workplace we’re building.

Mitiga Solutions is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status. In fact, we strongly encourage applicants from minority groups to apply.

We believe diversity isn’t a checkbox but a strategic strength. We actively seek out different perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences because they make us better.

Inclusion means everyone has a seat at the table and a voice that’s heard. It’s not just policy, it’s how we build, hire, and lead.
