Open Position

Our Company

sustainacraft, Inc. focuses on nature-based solutions (NbS) for climate change and aims to maximize their effect through a more accurate carbon accounting system. While it is important to expand projects in forest conservation, sustainable forest management, and agriculture, it is equally imperative to ensure the transparency of such projects and the sound circulation of funds while increasing credibility.

We are currently working with environmental NGOs, financial institutions, and international development agencies in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Europe to create a healthy financial cycle for nature conservation through two approaches: monitoring natural resources using satellite imagery and assessing appropriate reference levels using causal inference techniques.

Working Environment

Our Working Environment

We encourage asynchronous communication through services such as Notion, Slack, and Loom, making it possible for people to work regardless of their location. Although our day-to-day interactions are online and based on remote work, we provide an opportunity to work together in a relaxed environment near Tokyo once a week.

Our Colleagues

Members working with us come from diverse backgrounds, including consultants from professional consulting firms and foreign development banks, satellite image analysis specialists at satellite constellation companies, researchers in causal inference, and geographic information visualization specialists. Many of our members hold PhDs in engineering and economics.

Learning Opportunities

Our paper, presented in collaboration with the National Institute for Environmental Studies and Hitotsubashi University, won Best Paper at the Climate Change AI Workshop at NeurIPS 2022, a top-level conference on machine learning.
