KoBold is a company focused on using AI models for mineral exploration and deploying those models with novel sensors to guide exploration decisions. The company has experienced rapid growth and is seeking Senior Software Engineers to accelerate its mission. Engineers will work closely with exploration teams and potentially in the field to understand and solve technical challenges related to making mineral exploration data accessible.
About The Company
KoBold builds AI models for mineral exploration and deploys those models alongside their sensors to guide exploration programs. They have become the largest independent mineral exploration company and technology developer. Investors include institutional asset managers, technology venture capitalists, and natural resources companies. KoBold has proven its first discovery with less capital than the industry average and found one of the best copper deposits ever discovered.
About The Role
Software engineers at KoBold have the opportunity to embed directly with their users (exploration teams) and learn about mineral exploration and geology while developing state-of-the-art technology solutions. Unlike traditional roles, feedback is directly incorporated into the development process. Engineers will work to make mineral exploration data broadly accessible to both humans and machines. They may also occasionally participate in field work alongside exploration teams in locations like Zambia, Canada, or Arizona.
Responsibilities
- Enable systematic exploration and materially improve exploration success rates.
- Make mineral exploration data broadly accessible to humans and machines.
- Work closely with exploration teams to understand their needs and challenges.
- Develop state-of-the-art technology solutions.
- Potentially participate in field work alongside exploration teams.

AI-driven mineral exploration for clean energy
About KoBold Metals
KoBold Metals focuses on discovering new deposits of essential minerals like lithium, cobalt, copper, and nickel, which are crucial for clean energy technologies. The company employs artificial intelligence to enhance the mineral exploration process, making it more efficient and predictable. Their proprietary AI tool utilizes a concept known as Efficacy of Information (EOI) to guide data collection during exploration, helping to reduce uncertainty. KoBold invests over $60 million annually in more than 60 projects across three continents, leading extensive research and development efforts in the field. Unlike traditional exploration methods, KoBold aggregates comprehensive data about the Earth's crust's physics and chemistry, allowing for a more scientific approach to mineral discovery. The company's goal is to locate and sell mineral deposits to clean energy companies, providing them with the necessary resources while maintaining a competitive advantage in the market.
