About the job
About the Team
Our team – Bellwether – operates at the intersection of machine learning, geospatial data, and pressing issues with enterprise customers, governments, and more. We focus on severe weather manifestations of climate change, such as wildfires, and aim to use a wide range of data and analytics to better understand and predict what these events could mean for communities and businesses across the globe. We do this through the detection and classification of the features and patterns of the natural and built worlds, the application of cutting-edge machine learning, and the redesign of the full geo-ML workflow. This work extends into development and production-level work as well, as Bellwether also has a number of products that are live with customers. The result: tools and models that allow a range of industries to better leverage earth observation insights.
About the role
You will be a hands-on Research Engineer, contributing to all aspects of the project’s development and deployment of applications. This role would guide machine learning for Bellwether’s real-world products, and is not a research-based role.
Our team is small but mighty and highly collaborative, and values pair programming and cooperative ideation. We are committed to agile principles and rely heavily on this framework for efficient sprints and cycles. We are looking for passionate and driven people, who are comfortable moving between creative, big-picture thinking and specifics of how to execute. We operate in a fast-paced, fluid environment as our team moves from early stage development into production phases.
