Senior Software Engineer - Data Plane Team

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 harder than ever 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, to small and large enterprise enterprises, which requires us to have a lot of flexibility on how we deploy and maintain our services.
