Job Description

• Architect and build advanced ML models to map and predict vegetation and fuel conditions across diverse geographies. • Design and maintain robust data and feature pipelines for large-scale geospatial and temporal data. • Partner with wildfire science and product teams to define modeling objectives and evaluation metrics tied to real-world impact. • Build reproducible experimentation frameworks and model evaluation workflows. • Scale models from research to production with a focus on performance, reliability, and explainability. • Lead the evolution of ML systems, tooling, and processes — ensuring that our wildfire fuelscape models remain state-of-the-art and maintainable. • Collaborate with MLOps peers to streamline training, inference, and monitoring in production environments.

Job Requirements

  • You thrive at the intersection of machine learning, geospatial data, and environmental science, and are motivated by the opportunity to reduce wildfire risk through data-driven insights.
  • You love working in a remote-first, fast-moving environment where collaboration and adaptability are essential.
  • 10+ years of experience designing and building production-grade ML pipelines and systems – but don’t filter yourself out if you feel you’re a strong candidate with 6+ years.
  • Strong background in deep learning, computer vision, or remote sensing.
  • Skilled in designing end-to-end ML systems — from data ingestion and preprocessing to deployment and monitoring.
  • Hands-on experience with frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, XGBoost, or LightGBM, and data tools like Dask, Spark, or GeoPandas.
  • Familiarity with GCP and Vertex AI, or similar cloud-based ML platforms.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across technical and scientific domains.
  • Comfortable leading architectural discussions and mentoring other engineers.
  • You are based in ET → PT time zones.

Benefits

  • To be part of truly mission-driven work that reduces wildfires, protects Earth’s natural resources, and helps solve our climate crisis.
  • Flexible working environment with a lot of autonomy. We build our work days around our lives, not the other way around.
  • Other benefits like a remote working budget, an educational budget, and time to develop new skills.
  • To be surrounded by an excellent, vibrant, smart team who have each other's back and believe in a culture of openness, tolerance, and respect.
  • Equity and a competitive salary.
