From asking a few folks in climate-related academia, they seem to support all of these recommendations
Currently putting together a doc to later publish on what we should all be doing on this front: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-67lMjm7C1b9PpbKfFn39ucI...
OpenAI’s mission is to build safe AI, and ensure AI's benefits are as widely and evenly distributed as possible. We are building a team of researchers and engineers to make the defining breakthroughs in machine learning.
We care about what people will accomplish here much more than what they've already done: for any of our hiring criteria, demonstration of exceptional motivation and potential can overcome a lack of experience. We value personal development; we hire curious, highly-motivated individuals who look to grow in areas where they have not yet achieved mastery.
Our impact is greater than just publishing research papers. We build working systems. We try to empower and strengthen the AI research community, and collaborate freely. We publish our techniques, tools, and methods, and try to find creative approaches for how to improve the progress and impact of ML research.
We're currently hiring software engineers, machine learning researchers, machine learning interns, and a recruiting coordinator.
Planet Labs (http://planet.com/) in San Francisco, CA has a large number of positions open. We're a collection of electrical, mechanical, aerospace, software, science, etc. folks looking to image the whole planet on a daily basis with a large number of small satellites. It's a terrific bunch of folks doing what we call "agile aerospace". We've launched ~90 satellites so far (and had 8 on the SpaceX CRS-7 rocket :( )
Python (Flask, Django) and Javascript (React, Backbone) are used heavily in the web projects. We of course have systems programming to do for the onboard software. Plenty of other interesting work from the satellite design and various subsystems, manufacturing, georectification of images, image corrections, and heaps of possibilities with a supremely interesting dataset that we're growing.
Some gigs are onsite only, others may be available to remote workers.

We design, build, launch, and operate small satellites, and process, analyze and serve the imagery data we downlink from them. We have some serious (-ly fun!) data and software challenges as we aim to rethink how satellite imagery is accessed and used. Our goal is to image the entire Earth, every day, and democratize access to these data and tools. So far this year, we've launched 71 satellites across 6 rocket launches, with many more slated for next year. We're a team of ~100 engineers (software, mechanical, electrical, aero/astro, and manufacturing) and business people primarily based in San Francisco, with a small, primarily SRE, team building in San Antonio, and a handful of remotes across the world.

We provide universal access to information about the changing planet. We'll soon operate the world’s largest fleet of Earth imaging satellites to frequently image the entire planet and provide open access to that information. We have a big mission and we seek highly performing and accountable people who care deeply about the art of creation.
We're primarily looking for strong software engineers interested in working on distributed systems, image processing, embedded systems, spacecraft commanding, mapping, and web tool development. While we expect you to have a strong background in building software systems, no prior experience in these specific systems is required. You'll code in Python and C++, among other languages.
