OUR
VISION
At EarthDaily Analytics
we strive to build a more sustainable planet by creating innovative solutions
that combine satellite imagery of the Earth, modern software engineering,
machine learning, and cloud computing to solve the world’s toughest challenges
in agriculture, water management, carbon capture verification and more. Our
focus has been on building the world’s most advanced satellite image processing
pipelines capable of delivering automated, reliable, meaningful analytics from
our customers’ satellites and our own. Our belief is that insights can only be
as good as the data itself and we pride ourselves on generating the highest
quality data products in the industry.
OUR
TEAM
We’re
a multidisciplinary team of software engineers with backgrounds in Geography,
Physics, Computer Science, Atmospheric Studies, Mathematics, Cloud
Infrastructure, Industrial Design, and Aerospace Engineering among others. Our
diversity is core to our success in building the most innovative technologies
on (and off!) the planet. Our team of experts have developed the world’s first
colour HD video from space, developed the processing pipelines for some of the
most well-known commercial satellites, and have built the world’s first
automated Satellite Processing service which is being applied partner
satellites and our upcoming constellation.
Our
Software Engineers embrace a DevOps culture, work as a highly collaborative
team in an agile based iterative development environment and are leading the
next revolution in satellite-based Earth Observation remote sensing through
problem solving, growth and ownership.
READY
TO LAUNCH?
Do
you want to work in the space industry and build innovative software systems
that can automatically process and calibrate satellite images from space to
help drive applications for Earth’s sustainability? Do you have experience with
DevOps and cloud-based infrastructure? We want to hear from you! Space geeks
and innovators are always encouraged to apply!
We’re
a team dedicated to developing innovative Software Solutions for Space and
we’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Geospatial Cloud Engineer) to
make this happen.
