Job Description
In this role, you will drive geospatial data and tooling needs for a large-scale project. You will be part of a team of GIS developers responsible for sourcing geospatial data in many modalities, and for building geospatial data automation and tooling in an AI/ML pipeline for new applications.
In this role, you'll research and gather data for specific regions from different sources, including imagery and other raster data, vector data, and point clouds. You will find and acquire data from free/public domain sources, as well as form and drive partnerships with commercial data providers. You will be responsible for managing the coverage, freshness, quality, and cost of the sourced data. The most successful team members will have a working knowledge of disparate effective sources of data, and a curiosity for finding new ones.
To prepare this data for AI/ML use, you'll build and use automated tools (e.g., incorporating open source libraries like GDAL and in-house tools) to clean, resize, reformat, and align it so it's ready for internal customers to use. You will also be responsible for tooling to automatically postprocess the output of a geospatial AI/ML pipeline for use by other teams.
This role involves working closely with different teams in our organization. You'll partner with the AI/ML teams to supply diverse data they need for building new machine learning models, and with the Pipeline and Product teams to ensure they have the necessary data required.
Dans ce rôle, vous piloterez les besoins en données géospatiales et en outils pour un projet d'envergure. Vous ferez partie d'une équipe de développeurs SIG responsable de l'acquisition de données géospatiales provenant de multiples sources et modalités, ainsi que du développement d'outils et d'automatisations au sein d'un pipeline IA/ML pour soutenir de nouvelles applications.
Vous effectuerez des recherches et collecterez des données pour des régions spécifiques à partir de diverses sources, notamment l'imagerie, les données raster, vectorielles et les nuages de points. Vous exploiterez des données provenant de sources ouvertes/publiques et développerez des partenariats avec des fournisseurs commerciaux. Vous serez responsable de la gestion de la couverture, de l'actualité, de la qualité et des coûts des données. Les profils les plus performants démontrent une solide expertise ainsi qu'une curiosité marquée pour découvrir de nouvelles sources de données.
Afin de préparer les données pour des applications d'IA/AA, vous concevrez et développerez des outils automatisés (en vous appuyant sur des bibliothèques open source telles que GDAL et des systèmes internes) pour nettoyer, transformer et aligner les jeux de données. Vous serez également responsable des outils de post-traitement des résultats issus des pipelines géospatiaux d'IA/AA.
Ce poste nécessite une collaboration étroite avec plusieurs équipes. Vous travaillerez avec les équipes d'IA/AA ainsi qu'avec les équipes Pipeline et Produit afin de garantir la disponibilité de données diversifiées et de haute qualité pour soutenir la recherche, le développement et la mise en production.
Responsibilities include, but not limited to:
  • Aggregate data for target regions and ensure that a complete collection of data is available.
  • Research open, public domain, and commercial sensor data sources to determine the areas, quality, and freshness of available data.
  • Utilize open source (e.g. GDAL) and internally developed software tools to preprocess, align, crop, resample, and otherwise prepare data for use. We prefer open source tools over proprietary software, but understand that some software has no great open source equivalent.
  • Contribute to our internal tools that process and source geospatial datasets.
  • Partner with groups across the organization to understand needs for GIS data for AI/ML research. Coordinate with AI/ML team to provide diverse data for developing new machine learning algorithms, and the Pipeline and Product teams to provide data to roll out new regions.
  • Partner closely with leadership to understand the high-level product vision.

Responsabilités principales
  • Agréger des données géospatiales pour les régions ciblées et assurer une couverture complète et de haute qualité.
  • Rechercher des sources de données ouvertes, publiques et commerciales afin d'en évaluer la couverture, la qualité et l'actualité.
  • Développer et utiliser des outils (open source comme GDAL et systèmes internes) pour le prétraitement, l'alignement, le découpage et le rééchantillonnage des données.
  • Contribuer activement et diriger le développement d'outils internes pour l'acquisition et le traitement des données géospatiales.
  • Collaborer avec les équipes transversales afin de comprendre et satisfaire les besoins en données SIG pour la recherche en IA/AA et les déploiements produits.
  • Fournir des ensembles de données diversifiés pour soutenir le développement de nouveaux modèles d'apprentissage automatique et l'expansion vers de nouvelles régions.
  • Travailler étroitement avec la direction afin d'aligner l'exécution technique sur la vision produit.

Qualifications
  • Masters degree in GIS, Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
  • 4+ years of relevant industry experience in a fast paced, high growth tech environment.
  • Experience with GIS modalities and formats, including at least some of orthoimagery (e.g. GeoTIFF), point clouds such as LiDAR (e.g. LAS/LAZ), vector data (e.g. ESRI Shapefiles, GeoJSON, OSM), raster data storing elevation and terrain information such as DTM, DSM, and DEMs, and raster data storing landcover information.
  • Software engineering experience, including designing and architecting software. Experience in Python for automation of common tasks and/or contributing to our existing tool palette is required.

Desired Characteristics:
  • Team-oriented and collaborative approach with a demonstrated aptitude, enthusiasm and willingness to learn new methods, tools, practices and skills.
  • Passion and curiosity for GIS and software engineering.
  • Experience working with open-source GIS libraries and tools, including PROJ and GDAL, for spatial data processing, transformation, and analysis. Comfort with working outside of an ArcGIS-centric workflow.
  • Experience with some flavor of Linux. Comfort with some flavor of a *nix shell environment (e.g. bash) is strongly preferred.
  • Enthusiasm for automated development processes and systems.

Qualifications
  • Maîtrise en SIG, informatique, ingénierie, mathématiques ou domaine connexe.
  • Minimum de 4 ans d'expérience pertinente dans un environnement technologique dynamique et en forte croissance.
  • Expérience avec les formats et types de données SIG, notamment :
  • Orthophotographies (ex. : GeoTIFF)
  • Nuages de points (ex. : LiDAR LAS/LAZ)
  • Données vectorielles (ex. : Shapefiles, GeoJSON, OSM)
  • Données raster d'élévation (DTM, DSM, DEM)
  • Données d'occupation des sols
  • Solides compétences en ingénierie logicielle, incluant la conception et l'architecture de systèmes.
  • Maîtrise de Python pour l'automatisation et le développement d'outils.

Atouts
  • Excellentes aptitudes en leadership et en collaboration, avec une approche proactive.
  • Passion pour les SIG, les données géospatiales et le développement logiciel.
  • Expérience avec des bibliothèques SIG open source telles que GDAL et PROJ.
