From Naval Operations to Planetary Infrastructure

Terradepth didn't start in a garageit started 600 feet underwater. Our CEO Joe Wolfel, a former Navy SEAL, saw the gap between what nations and industries needed to know about the ocean floor and what they could actually see. While others accepted four-day battery life as physics, we saw it as a constraint to break. Now we're building the persistent subsea data platform upon which every critical ocean decision is made.

De-Risking Humanity's Ocean Operations

The ocean economy will reach $6T by 2030. Every submarine cable laid, every offshore wind farm anchored, every mineral extracted carries operational, environmental, and security risks. We're building the persistent subsea intelligence platform that transforms high-stakes ocean operations from periodic guesswork to continuous certainty. When nations and Fortune 500s need to know what's happening 6,000 meters down, they rely on our data.

Operators Who Build. Builders Who Ship.

We're ocean enthusiasts, technologists, problem-solvers, and makers dedicated to advancing ocean exploration. Our team includes road bikers, chess players, dog lovers, world travelers, military veterans, and innovators from every kind of technical background. We have family people, single people, and people who bring in other great people. And if we're being honestwe genuinely like each other. And we dig that our work here directly impacts whether the next decade of ocean expansion strengthens global infrastructure or creates cascading failures.

Mission Velocity Requires Alignment

"All were merged into one smoothly working machine; they were, in fact, a poem of motion, a symphony of swinging blades." Dan Brown, Boys in the Boat

We are a tight crew of high performers, which means accountability trumps talent all day. We don't hire assholes, no matter how brilliant. We don't hire people who need constant supervision. And we definitely don't hire people who think "good enough" is good enough when submarines are carrying our name 6,000 meters down. No matter how smart or capable you are, you won't thrive here unless you're carrying your own weight and feeling and embracing the weight of the entire team and its mission.

Speed. Discipline. Collaboration. These aren't poster valuesthey're selection criteria. Speed because our adversaries won't wait. Discipline because the ocean doesn't forgive mistakes. Collaboration because lone wolves die in the deep. We expect team cohesion without groupthinka balance that takes awareness and humility.

Build the Crew That Builds the Future

Terradepth is seeking a mission-driven Vice President of Finance to architect the financial systems that power the company redefining how humanity interacts with the ocean. This leader will ensure every dollarwhether investor capital, customer revenue, or government contractis deployed with precision, discipline, and strategic impact.

The mission requires a finance executive who understands that we're not just building an ocean data company, we're building critical national infrastructure. Someone who can structure complex government and commercial exploration contracts one day, model multiyear capital requirements the next, and still have the intuition to know when to say "no." Someone who thrives in ambiguity, builds clarity through numbers, and treats financial stewardship as an operational responsibility, not a back-office function.

This isn't about burn rate dashboards and budget spreadsheets, it is about creating and sustaining the financial oxygen that keeps Terradepth viable, credible, and unstoppable. When your mission sits at the intersection of defense, national energy independence, climate, and technology, "close enough" isn't close enough. If the idea of balancing financial rigor and accuracy with existential purpose inspires you more than it scares you, let's talk.
