Sora Fuel

Sora Fuel aims to decarbonize aviation by converting air into affordable, carbon-neutral jet fuel at scale with no feedstock constraints or adverse impacts on agriculture. Our novel electrolysis technology directly converts captured carbon into syngas without regenerating gaseous CO₂, reducing the energy required to utilize DAC-sourced CO₂ by up to 90%. This provides an economical pathway to carbon-neutral flight, potentially addressing >2% of challenging-to-abate global emissions.

The company was founded in early 2024 and has recently completed its second major round of financing from top tier VC firms. Since founding, the team has grown to include scientists and engineers with a broad range of skill sets from electrochemistry and catalysis to polymer science and mechanical engineering. We seek to build a diverse, collaborative team that shares our enthusiasm and drive to meaningfully address climate change.

Role

The ideal candidate has an MBA or equivalent degree and 2-3 years experience in start-up environments.
