Responsibilities

You'll be responsible for the day-to-day data science work that fuels the insights engine: evaluating model performance, building datasets, and training new models, primarily for computer vision tasks, but also expanding into new domains and sources.

You’ll contribute to many of the tools that improve our ability to work with our models and data and enhance our MLOps ecosystem.

Driven by our product management partners, you’ll develop algorithmic solutions to complex customer problems, generating the machinery that deliver unparalleled geospatial insights.

You’ll work on problems like object detection and spatiotemporal analytics while working with Maxar’s high resolution satellites imagery, as well as other remote sensing and geospatial data sources.

Through collaboration with our Experiences and R&D teams, you’ll build data science systems that are guaranteed to directly support user and mission critical workflows.

You’ll collaborate with our geographically dispersed team primarily via Slack and Microsoft Teams.
