Senior Security Architect (Spain only)
Technosylva
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Technosylva is a leading SaaS company specializing in operational support and risk analytics solutions for wildfires and extreme weather events. Our mission is to reduce the impact of these events by delivering proactive, actionable intelligence that enables better decision-making.
We offer a suite of software solutions specifically designed to mitigate risks associated with both wildfires and extreme weather conditions. These solutions are used by some of the largest investor-owned utilities (IOUs), fire management agencies, and other key organizations across the United States.
Our products help anticipate risk, generate on-demand wildfire spread predictions, and support infrastructure hardening analysis—while also aiding regulatory compliance and reporting processes.
