Oct 02, 2024 - Overstory is hiring a remote Senior Geospatial Machine Learning Engineer. đLocation: USA, UK, Canada, France, Estonia, Portugal, Sweden, Ireland, Netherlands, Spain.
Working to solve our climate crisis is the most important mission of our time, and the most exciting problem to be working on. Overstoryâs mission is to help solve our climate crisis by providing real-time intelligence about the planetâs vegetation. In our first step toward this mission, we are applying machine learning to satellite imagery to track forests and vegetation. Today, we proudly partner with 40+ leading utilities worldwide, including 4 of the top 10 US utilities, to help reduce wildfire risk and increase grid reliability to prevent power outages.
We have already proven our business model and weâre all united behind our ambitious vision to scale up this model to help humanity and the planet. We closed a $14 million Series A, led by B Capital and welcoming The Nature Conservancy to our collective of climate-minded investors. This milestone includes additional investment and continued support from Convective Capital, Semapa Next, Bentley iTwin Ventures, Pale blue dot, CapitalT, Moxxie Ventures, and Overwater VenturesÂ
If you want to have a real impact and solve some of the world's most complex challenges with advanced technology, come work with our talented and passionate team. Overstory is a remote-first company, with people living all over the U.S. and Europe.
We are looking for a Senior Geospatial MLE to join the Vegetation Modeling team at Overstory. Youâll spend most of your time working within small groups on our team to experiment with, build, and improve algorithms for understanding how vegetation impacts our customers. In the past, weâve developed solutions to coregister imagery, locate critical energy infrastructure, and identify tree species, heights, and health. Right now, we split our time between maintaining and improving these solutions, and developing new features to understand wildfire risk and assess the impact of different management strategies.
On our team, youâll generally be working with satellite imagery and other geospatial datasets, and using machine learning or deep learning to analyze their contents. Youâll be regularly interfacing with our data and models through Python code, QGIS projects, and Dagster pipelines. Youâll thrive if you enjoy working with a cross-functional group of product, design, engineering, and platform team members, and being involved throughout the full scientific product lifecycle.
As a quickly-growing, early-stage startup, youâll also be able to make significant contributions to the direction and culture of our organization. We collaborate closely with upstream teams responsible for ingesting data, and downstream teams that further refine or deliver those outputs to customers. Youâll be able to help shape how we work within our team and across the organization, influence how we make core decisions about our platform and pipelines, and scope out impactful projects.
We are a group of 62 people from all over the world. Fifteen nationalities are represented in our team. We work remotely from nine different countries and we are looking for candidates that are also living and working in one of these countries: United States, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Ireland, Estonia, Portugal, Spain, France, Sweden and Canada. We meet up once a year in-person for our unforgettable team gathering event. We also offer the option to occasionally meet up for in-person collaboration.
We place enormous value on diversity and inclusion and strive to continually bring in people of all genders, races, creeds, ethnicities, abilities and backgrounds. We believe that the best ideas emerge when people with different perspectives and approaches work together on a problem.
Weâre always looking to diversify our team further, but weâre proud of the fact that four out of the nine people on our leadership team are female, 46% of the overall team are female and 20% of the team are people of color. Our team speaks fifteen languages: English, Dutch, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Luxembourgish, Lithuanian, Bulgarian, Indonesian, Cantonese, Estonian and Korean.
We act with urgency.
We recognize that change is constant, and we find joy and power in exploration.
Just as ecosystems need biodiversity to thrive, our resiliency comes from our differences.
We love the power of machines but we nurture each other as humans.
We assume the best in everyone, and we share ideas openly so that we have a positive impact.
