From supporting career transitions to providing tailored mentorship for underrepresented professionals, our mission is to empower every team member to thrive.

What You’ll Do: Key Responsibilities

As a Remote Sensing Engineer, your work will be integral to climate change monitoring, precision agriculture, urban planning, and disaster resilience projects. You will:

• Analyze satellite imagery and aerial data to extract meaningful environmental and land-use insights
• Develop algorithms for image classification, spectral analysis, and temporal data modeling
• Build and refine machine learning models tailored for geospatial datasets
• Collaborate with data scientists, software developers, and field experts to validate and interpret remote sensing outputs.
• Create intuitive visualizations and reports to communicate geospatial trends to non-technical stakeholders.
• Automate workflows and pipelines using open-source geospatial tools and cloud-based platforms
• Contribute to research publications and grant proposals that drive innovation in Earth observation sciences.

Your Daily Environment: How We Work

While our headquarters may be miles away, our remote-first culture ensures every team member feels seen, heard, and supported. Here’s what you can expect:

• A flexible schedule designed to accommodate global time zones and personal work rhythms
• Regular virtual team meetings, one-on-one check-ins, and collaborative workspaces that foster connection
• Peer mentoring programs and resource groups that celebrate cultural diversity and neurodiversity

Our team has celebrated countless success stories—from a single parent balancing family and innovation, to a former refugee leading an international research initiative. Here, your voice matters.

Tools, Platforms, and Technology You'll Use

You will engage with a robust suite of advanced technologies tailored for remote geospatial analysis, including:

• Google Earth Engine and Sentinel Hub for large-scale satellite image processing
• Python libraries such as Rasterio, GDAL, NumPy, and scikit-learn for data modeling and transformation
• GIS platforms like QGIS and ArcGIS for spatial analysis and visualization
• Cloud computing tools, including AWS, GCP, or Azure, for scalable geospatial workflows
• Jupyter Notebooks and GitHub for collaborative, version-controlled code development

We embrace open-source innovation while ensuring all team members have the training and access needed to remain confident and current.

What You Bring: Core Qualifications

To thrive in this position, you should bring a mix of technical expertise, curiosity, and a passion for collaboration. Ideal candidates will have:

• A degree in Remote Sensing, Geomatics, Environmental Science, or a related field
• Experience working with satellite imagery, LiDAR data, or UAV-derived datasets
• Proficiency in geospatial programming and cloud-based remote sensing analysis
• Familiarity with land cover classification, change detection, and spectral indices
• Strong communication skills and an enthusiasm for translating complex data into meaningful action
• A growth mindset and the ability to work both independently and as part of a diverse team

Experience in interdisciplinary or international project settings is a plus, as is any involvement in climate action, biodiversity research, or sustainable development.

Growth Pathways and Team Values

We’re not just hiring for a role but investing in your journey. Our team is committed to helping you advance your career through:

• Ongoing training and certification reimbursements in geospatial AI, data science, and environmental tech
• Leadership development programs and opportunities to lead collaborative initiatives
• Quarterly team-wide hackathons that encourage experimentation and cross-functional learning

One of our engineers recently shared how a mentorship opportunity within our team helped them pivot into a data leadership role, without relocating or sacrificing personal goals. That’s the kind of supportive culture we strive to build every day.

Salary and Benefits

• Annual salary: $90,511
• Comprehensive health and wellness benefits, tailored for remote employees
• Flexible paid time off and wellness days to help you recharge
