Senior Geospatial Machine Learning Engineer

Accountabilities

• • Develop and deploy new vegetation intelligence products using machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, geospatial Python libraries, and large-scale satellite or aerial imagery.
  • Explore geospatial datasets, identify opportunities for model improvement, optimize existing ML solutions, and troubleshoot production issues.
  • Maintain and enhance existing vegetation modeling products to improve accuracy, reliability, scalability, and overall impact.
  • Lead technical projects end-to-end, from defining objectives and planning implementation through execution, delivery, and evaluation.
  • Develop measurement frameworks, evaluation tooling, and performance metrics that enable data-driven decisions about model quality and impact.
  • Monitor production models and investigate performance issues using appropriate observability, monitoring, and debugging tools.
  • Work closely with upstream data ingestion teams to influence data pipelines, processing workflows, and platform architecture.
  • Partner with downstream product and delivery teams to ensure geospatial ML outputs can be effectively integrated into customer-facing solutions.
  • Use tools such as QGIS, Dagster, Sentry, Grafana, or equivalent platforms to analyze data, manage workflows, monitor systems, and diagnose issues.
  • Communicate technical findings, project progress, model performance, and business impact clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Contribute to engineering and ML best practices across a distributed team working across Europe and the Americas.
  • Help translate complex environmental and geospatial problems into scalable machine learning solutions that support climate resilience and critical infrastructure.

  Requirements:

  • 5+ years of professional experience as a Machine Learning Engineer, Data Scientist, or in a closely related role, with demonstrated experience building and deploying production machine learning or deep learning models.
  • Proven experience developing computer vision or deep learning models using satellite or aerial imagery.
  • Strong proficiency in Python and geospatial Python libraries such as rasterio, geopandas, shapely, GDAL, or equivalent technologies.
  • Solid understanding of geospatial data structures, formats, processing workflows, and analysis techniques.
  • Professional experience with ML and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, or comparable tools.
  • Experience designing, implementing, or maintaining data pipelines using orchestration and workflow tools such as Dagster, Airflow, dbt, or equivalent systems.
  • Experience with QGIS or comparable geospatial visualization and analysis software.
  • Strong understanding of model evaluation, performance measurement, monitoring, and debugging in production environments.
  • Ability to work effectively with large-scale, complex datasets and translate technical findings into practical product or business decisions.
  • Strong project ownership skills, with the ability to independently drive initiatives from planning through execution and delivery.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, particularly in distributed and cross-functional environments.
  • Experience with multispectral or hyperspectral satellite imagery is a strong advantage.
  • Background in vegetation analysis, forestry, agriculture, environmental monitoring, or related geospatial applications is highly valued.
  • Familiarity with observability and monitoring tools such as Grafana, Sentry, Prometheus, or similar platforms is a plus.
  • A genuine interest in climate technology, environmental applications, and using advanced technology to solve complex real-world problems is highly desirable.
  • Candidates should be comfortable working in a fully remote environment and collaborating across multiple time zones.

  Benefits:

  • Fully remote working environment.
  • Opportunity to work on technology with direct applications in climate action, wildfire prevention, and electrical grid resilience.
  • Meaningful ownership of machine learning products and the opportunity to lead projects from concept through production.
  • Collaboration with a geographically distributed team spanning Europe and the Americas.
  • Exposure to advanced satellite imagery, geospatial data, computer vision, and large-scale machine learning systems.
  • High-impact technical challenges involving real-world environmental and infrastructure problems.
  • Competitive senior-level compensation package expected, commensurate with experience.
  • Opportunity to contribute to the development of production ML systems rather than purely experimental or research-focused models.
