Satellite and drone imagery access is on the rise, and traditional image processing methods are struggling to keep up. We’ve never had more data, and yet it’s never been harder to gain meaningful insights.
Our scalable AI platform enables custom model training on global features, providing real-time, on-demand geospatial insights with impressive speed and accuracy. The application turns months of manual work into mere minutes, and with much better results. We work with customers from various domains, from intelligence and defence, local and federal governments, insurance industry, to small and large enterprises, which requires us to have a lot of flexibility on how we deploy and maintain our services.
We kicked off in 2020 and have secured $35 million in series A funding from a lineup of top US and European investors, among which Microsoft M12, Point72 Ventures, Maxar, In-Q-Tel, SAFRAN, and ISAI/Capgemini.
We're searching for a Platform Engineer to join our Deployment team. You'll build and operate the infrastructure that powers our AI platform across radically different environments: AWS for our SaaS offering, single-tenant cloud deployments for enterprise customers, K3S clusters on customer hardware, and edge deployments running on a single laptop in the field. You'll also shape the developer experience for our engineering teams, making it easy to build, test, and ship reliable software.
