Senior GIS Engineer

In this role, you’ll gather data from different sources (like maps and satellite images) for specific regions to make sure we have all the information we need. You’ll investigate various sources of data, including free and paid options, and check if they cover the areas we need, if they’re up-to-date, and ensure their quality.

To prepare this data, you’ll use specialized tools (like GDAL and custom software) to clean, resize, and align it so it’s ready for our team to use.

This role involves working closely with different teams in our organization. You’ll partner with the AI/ML teams to supply diverse data they need for building new machine learning models, and with the Pipeline and Product teams to ensure they have the necessary data required.

Responsibilities include, but not limited to:

• Aggregate data for target regions and ensure that a complete collection of data is available.
• Research open, public domain, and commercial sensor data sources to determine the areas, quality, and freshness of available data.
• Utilize open source (e.g. gda1) and internally developed software tools to preprocess, align, crop, resample, and otherwise prepare data for use
• Contribute to our internal tools that process and source geospatial datasets.
• Partner with groups across the organization to understand needs for GIS data for AI/ML research. Coordinate with AI/ML team to provide diverse data for developing new machine learning algorithms, and the Pipeline and Product teams to provide data to roll out new regions.
• Partner closely with leadership to understand the high-level product vision
