Senior Software Engineer (Front End)

Job Responsibility:

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 help solve the world's toughest challenges in agriculture, water management, forestry, 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 as well as a next generation Earth observation platform. 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.

The EarthPlatform is our key discovery, access and analysis platform that will help our customers access our petabyte-level archive and help them build solutions for some of the world's most pressing challenges in forestry, natural resource management, agriculture and natural disasters.

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. The broad range of expertise 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, web-based patented Earth observation analytics platform, and have also built the world's first automated satellite processing service which is being applied to partner satellites and our upcoming constellation slated to launch in 2024.

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.
