KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Research, design, and validate deep learning architectures for large‑scale multi‑modal geospatial foundation models (e.g.

combining optical imagery with weather and other contextual data) and evaluate trade-offs between architectures Lead large-scale training and fine-tuning of foundation models on large EO datasets Collaborate with machine learning infrastructure engineers on the team to optimize distributed training and cloud resource usage Collaborate with machine learning engineers on the team to define metrics and experiments to benchmark foundation model performance Participate in sprint planning, sprint reviews, sprint demos, sprint retrospectives Ensure technical documentation and systems are created, maintained and operational Grow your skillsets and share your experiences with the team YOUR PAST MISSIONS Degree in Computer Science, Math, Physics, Engineering, Geography, GIS or equivalent Higher level education in machine learning, data science, remote sensing, or related field is an asset.

• 7+ years of combined software engineering and/or applied deep learning research experience, including geospatial foundation model research experience Proven experience designing and training algorithmically complex deep learning models for large scale datasets including earth observation data (e.g.

Sentinel 2, Landsat) Hands on experience with modern deep learning architectures (e.g.

CNNs, transformers, spatio temporal models), including understanding of trade-offs and how to adapt and combine architectural elements Experience working in cloud environments (e.g.

AWS) for large scale distributed model training and data preprocessing Experience with Agile development, SCRUM and CICD processes, and collaborating with cross-functional teams Equivalent combination of education is accepted YOUR TOOLKIT Excellent algorithmic, analytic, problem solving, debugging, optimization and code reviewing skills Physics and/or math knowledge an asset Good object-oriented and test-driven design skills Good skills and knowledge of best practices in at least one programming language (e.g. Python, C++) Proficiency in Python scientific stack and common tooling (e.g.

NumPy, pandas, PyTorch, Jupyter).

Familiarity with Python geospatial and EO tooling (e.g.

GDAL, rasterio, xarray) Self-starter and self-learner attitude with the ability to manage and execute with minimal supervision Ability to take initiative, commit and thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment OUR SPACE We’d love to welcome you to our world of software for space. We have a shared passion for building production critical systems that generate near real-time views of Earth from satellites that power real-world applications like disaster mitigation, environmental monitoring and crop yield improvements.

It’s a fun, fast paced, exciting environment where we hold innovation, team work, honesty and trust as our core values.
