The Team

The Geospatial Engineering Team oversees developing Kayrros’ key software components for remote sensing data processing as well as elaborating and running the pipelines that power Kayrros products. The team has a specific focus on Earth observation data (optical, sar, lidar) and geolocation data.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop processing pipelines, from design to deployment and maintenance
• Apply best practices regarding testing, version control, CI/CD, operations, observability, etc.
• Collaborate with remote sensing researchers, geospatial and machine learning engineers and product stakeholders.

In particular:

• Implement and operate large‑scale imagery and data pipeline on Kubernetes
• Contribute to internal shared libraries to ease the creation and maintenance of data pipelines,
• Contribute to architecture trade‑off with respect to maintenance, cost, scalability and robustness.

You will have a transverse role in the development of EA/Kayrros technologies, from domain specific algorithm design to production deployment and operations.

You will work with the full range of data sources used at EA/Kayrros (optical, SAR, hyper‑spectral).

As an example, the Team has already developed pipelines regarding wildfire monitoring, shale gas wells, methane plume detection, and many others!

This is an ideal opportunity if you are looking for a new challenge in a high impact position, ensuring the on‑time, high‑quality delivery of geospatial data to our customers. You will get the opportunity to work with diverse teams, from data scientists and engineers to product owners.
