About Insight M
At Insight M, we combine innovative aerospace systems with advanced data science. Unlike traditional aerospace companies, we sell information, not hardware - we operate our sensors cost-effectively at continental scale to produce novel data streams about pressing global problems.
First on our list: spotting hard-to-monitor emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that accelerates climate change. Since starting continuous survey operations in 2018, Insight M has removed methane emissions equal to over 250 million tonnes of CO2e through our work. To put that in perspective, that’s equivalent to over 60 million cars being removed from the roads or shutting down about one hundred and sixty 350 MW coal-fired power plants for a year. That's like planting 4.2 billion urban trees and letting them grow for 10 years.
We call that a good start.
As a team, we love science and engineering, we love getting our hands dirty with hardware and software, and we love seeing our work make a difference in the real world.
We’ve created a diverse, collaborative, supportive, and fun environment based on integrity and treating people right. So no matter your sex, gender, sexual identity, gender identity, race, age, beliefs, sexual orientation, or disabilities, we welcome you and would like to work with you. :-)
It’s never boring, it’s always challenging, and we’re usually laughing.
A note of encouragement: If you don't meet 100% of the qualifications below, you should still seriously consider applying. Studies show that you can still be considered for a role if you meet just 50% of the role's requirements.

Life at Insight M
A few important facts about working at Insight M:
- We provide health, dental, and vision insurance, including subsidized coverage for dependents, with HSA and FSA options. We have a 401K, short-term and long-term disability, life insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and more perks.
- We think death-march hours are a bad way to run a company. We expect something approximating a 40-hour workweek, but mostly we just care that your work gets done. No, really. (Full disclosure: we occasionally put in some extra hours during crunch periods, but that is the exception, not the norm).
- We do not track vacation time, nor do we have set hours to be in the office. Instead, we encourage taking real vacations, mental health days, leaving early to pick up the kids, working from home, time-shifting commutes, staying home when you're sick, ducking out to the gym - we believe work time should be flexible.
- Aside from hardware and flight operations, and some go-to-market roles, we have transitioned to 100% remote work and plan to continue having remote positions in perpetuity.
(We love it when kids make a cameo in a video call.)
Insight M is an equal-opportunity employer that is committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. We prohibit discrimination and harassment of any kind based on race, color, sex, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, genetic information, pregnancy, or any other protected characteristic as outlined by federal, state, or local laws.
This policy applies to all employment practices within our organization, including hiring, recruiting, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, leave of absence, compensation, benefits, training, and apprenticeship. Insight M makes hiring decisions based solely on qualifications, merit, and business needs at the time.

The Company
What We Do
Founded in 2014, Insight M is a consultative methane emissions management company driven by our unwavering commitment to scientific rigor and overall customer success. We are the energy industry’s leader in high-frequency aerial methane detection.
Our team is comprised of leading methane scientists, engineers, and strategists whose sole focus is to create evidence-based solutions that empower our customers to achieve operational excellence in methane management. We help oil and gas operators to take a pragmatic approach to reducing their emissions—helping them keep gas in the pipe and protect their brand from public and regulatory scrutiny.
Our work has saved our oil and gas customers over $500 million in gas value and mitigated over 140 billion cubic feet of methane from entering the atmosphere—equivalent to taking 54 million gas cars off the road for a year.
