Subsurface Data Management Lead 

Vaulted Deep 

Location: Houston, TX 

About Vaulted 

Vaulted Deep is a cutting-edge technology company that injects waste deep underground to advance sustainability goals while providing waste management solutions to support clean land, air and water. Vaulted is based in Houston, San Francisco, and Kansas.  

With a growing team of 50 people across the country, Vaulted signed a $58.3 million offtake agreement with Frontier, and completed a $32 million Series A round in 2024. Vaulted's proprietary technology builds on decades of expertise to deliver safe, durable carbon and waste management solutions, now, at scale. 

About the Role 

At Vaulted, we are committed to an ambitious expansion strategy that includes the development of new sites and precise verification of credit generation within our operations. The rate of our expansion and the scalability of our Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) initiatives hinge crucially on our capacity to establish new injection sites across diverse geographical regions and to authenticate the credits generated by our existing operations.  

The Subsurface Data Management Lead will play a key role in this effort, ensuring that our data systems are structured, reliable, and seamlessly integrated across our operations. 

This role is responsible for designing and maintaining data management frameworks that enable our teams to operate with precision, efficiency, and confidence. By overseeing data organization, quality assurance, and integration—particularly with ArcGIS and other geospatial tools—this position ensures that our site development strategies processes are data-driven and scalable. 

We are looking for a highly motivated individual who thrives in fast-paced environments and is eager to build and optimize data infrastructure for a growing climate tech company. You will work closely with subsurface, engineering, and project development teams, managing critical geospatial and operational datasets that inform decision-making and accelerate deployment. 

The responsibilities of this role include (but are not limited to): 

• Developing and managing Vaulted’s subsurface data systems, ensuring seamless integration with existing tools and platforms. 
• Leading data quality assurance, establishing rigorous standards for validation, accuracy, and consistency across multiple datasets. 
• Managing and resolving data queries from internal teams and external stakeholders, providing strategic insights that support site expansion and CDR credit verification. 
• Maintaining and optimizing GIS and geospatial databases, particularly ArcGIS, to support mapping and site evaluation efforts. 
• Generating reports and visualizations, translating complex data into actionable insights for internal and external audiences. 
• Supporting cross-functional teams by providing access to high-quality, well-organized data that informs strategic decision-making and enhances project execution. 

This is a unique opportunity to shape the data infrastructure behind a highly scalable and impactful carbon removal solution. Your work will directly drive climate impact by ensuring that our expansion is both strategic and scientifically robust. 

What You Will Bring 

The Subsurface Data Management Lead will need to be highly adaptable, resourceful, and mission-driven, with the ability to manage complex data challenges in a fast-moving environment. Above all, we are looking for someone with a sense of urgency and ownership, ready to build the data backbone of a rapidly scaling carbon removal company. 

The ideal candidate will have: 

• A Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Data Science, Geoinformatics, Environmental Science, or a related field. 
• Proven experience in data management, analysis, and GIS, preferably in environmental, geospatial, or sustainability-focused projects. 
• Deep expertise in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), particularly ArcGIS, including database management and spatial analysis. 
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work with large, complex datasets in a structured, organized manner. 
• An analytical mindset, with the ability to extract meaningful insights from geospatial and operational data. 
• Proficiency in data visualization tools such as Power BI, with the ability to create interactive dashboards and reports that communicate key insights. 
• Experience with Python for data processing and automation is a plus, particularly in managing and analyzing large geospatial datasets. 
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to convey technical data insights to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. 

If you are a data-driven problem solver eager to apply your expertise to scaling gigaton-level carbon removal, we encourage you to apply. Join us in vaulting carbon permanently underground and creating a more sustainable future.
