Solutions Engineer
About the role
Role & Team
As a Solutions Engineer at Overstory, you'll turn our vegetation intelligence into operational impact for utility customers. Our data products — derived from satellite imagery and machine learning — give utilities a clearer picture of where vegetation poses risk to their power lines. Vegetation-caused outages are a leading cause of power disruption and a growing driver of wildfire risk, and climate change is making the problem harder. You'll deliver analyses with technical and geospatial depth, build tools and workflows that make our work scale, and help customers actually act on what we provide. You’ll use geospatial analysis, Python, and Overstory's data products to solve real utility problems today, and help shape what becomes a scalable product capability tomorrow.
This role is a great fit for someone who loves working with large geospatial datasets and wants to grow into customer advisory, product, or operational work at a high-growth mission-driven company. Highlights:
- Ownership: Innovate on, deliver, and grow a critical capability for a fast-growing business — from customer delivery through scalable productization.
- Impact: Make a tangible, scalable contribution to climate resilience in the power sector.
- Skills: Use your geospatial and technical toolkit while building product judgment, customer-facing depth, startup operating experience, and your craft with AI tools.
- Trajectory: Grow your career at a high-growth company, staying in Solutions Engineering or with pathways into Product, Customer Success, Sales, or Strategy.
Time Zone Requirement: North America (EST preferred)
What You'll Do
On a typical day, you might be: running satellite imagery through a pipeline and validating the output; debugging a geospatial join in Python; reviewing a draft analysis with a Customer Success Manager before it goes to a customer; talking with a utility vegetation manager to walk through findings and adjust based on what you hear; refactoring a notebook into a reusable script for the team; or sketching out how a recurring customer ask could become a product feature.
