Senior Exploration Geologist

**This is a 100% remote role (At this time only seeking Colorado residents) ***

Our Mission:

VerAI is committed to accelerating the global zero-carbon transformation by discovering the minerals essential for our sustainable future. In the last two decades, the mineral exploration industry underperformed with a very low rate of discovery success, failing to supply the massive demand for these critical commodities. We are disrupting Mineral Exploration by deploying a revolutionary Artificial Intelligence Targeting Platform that detects mineral deposits in underexplored, covered terrain - Helping our partners drill in the right place, and with higher probability of success. The world awaits a revolutionary change, and the unique conditions we have created for success allow VerAI to lead a vital paradigm shift in the way mineral discoveries are made.

We are well funded by strong financial and strategic investors, including T Rowe Price, Orion Resources, Chrysalix Capital, which specializes in transformation industrial innovation, mining and its direct contribution to the global Clean Energy transition; and Blumberg Capital, which brings extensive experience in successfully applying AI solutions to different verticals and industries. www.ver-ai.com

You will be leveraging your technical experience, data driven mindset, and strive for perfection to disrupt the Mineral Exploration world. The challenge of finding minerals under cover is real, and very hard - and you will have the opportunity to be part of the team that solves it!

Influence: You will have a direct influence on how Geoscience is used to guide and validate our AI-based Discovery Platform. Your experience and knowledge will impact everything from what data we use, how we validate our targets, and how we build compelling Geoscience evidence and material to convince 3rd parties to partner with VerAI and ultimately find new covered deposits.

Salary range: $110,000-$140,000/yr

Location: Home based, remote-only (At this time only seeking Colorado residents)

Using your Geoscience background and data-drive mindset, you will help the company evaluate new areas of interest and new projects. You will help generate high quality Geoscientific data to be used as input for the Targeting Platform, and you will then help validate (both desktop and through leading field expeditions) the generated targets. You will have a critical role in building a compelling Geoscientific story and presenting it to our partners. Your passion is being hands-on and you are not afraid of getting dirty with new data sets, technologies, or methodologies. You love collaborating with different teams and domains.
