Addressing some of humanity’s most pressing challenges, such as
providing food or distributing energy for nine billion people without
depleting resources, requires real-time planet-scale data and some very
smart algorithms deciding from this data. Do you want to get your hands
in these huge amounts of information? Do you want to discover and
understand stuff about our planet that nobody has seen before? Do you
want to help design and implement the intelligence that will enable this
understanding? Do you want to send this intelligence to space??? If
these questions give you an irresistible urge to learn more about the
team already doing this, you might want to continue reading.
About The Company
- Founded in 2011, Satellogic builds and operates a
fleet of small satellites to produce affordable commercial-grade Earth
data for daily decision making in a range of industries. The goal is to
leverage this unique dataset to enable real-time understanding of the
planet.
- In 2017, with the first satellites of our
constellation already up and running, Satellogic decided to also place
the focus on value creation.
- We will initially focus on the
challenges faced by the Agriculture, Energy, Financial and Government
sectors. Satellogic also has a commitment to science and social impact
where we work closely with research partners in academy and institutions
developing longer term solutions and insights.
- We have teams
in Europe, South America, Israel and the US and collaborate actively
with the broader development and research communities.
We have tons of data and way more challenges than solutions.
Farmers want to increase their production in a sustainable way, energy
companies have valuable remote assets that require constant monitoring,
governments need to increase their efficiency and transparency,
companies require a growing amount of global intelligence to inform
their decisions, the world needs first hand knowledge of the social and
economic impact of a changing environment in order to act accordingly,
etc.
Transforming our data into information that supports and automates
all these decisions requires the development of large-scale data
environments, building models and developing algorithms that learn from
geolocated visual data. Replicability, scalability and automation are
key requirements in this development.
About The Job
We are hiring a
Python Developer with GIS experience
Your tasks will include the development of the software
that prepares and ingests earth images to our machine learning and Deep
Neural Nets distributed architectures. You will help on the development
of the software of rasterization of different sources of vectorial
geographic information as well as the geographic projection and clipping
on satellital raster images.
You will work in Barcelona in the Satellogic Services Platform and
closely collaborating with the Data Science and Solutions team.
About You
Above all, you are interested in a range of world issues,
are eager to learn and cannot resist trying to solve a challenging
problem. You understand the balance between scientific perfection and
real-world requirements. You love programming, have proven development
experience and see coding as a key means to validate your ideas.
You enjoy teamwork. You are clear and engaging in your internal and external communications and have excellent english skills.
Required Technical Skills
- High Python coding level.
