As part of this mission, we're building geospatial foundation models that learn directly from Earth observation data - optical, SAR, and elevation - at scale. This role sits at the heart of that effort: architecting and training large-scale models that can generalize across geographies, sensors, and time. You'll be shaping the core intelligence layer that powers insights for millions, not just fine-tuning someone else's model.\nRole:\nWe're looking for a Data Scientist with strong fundamentals in computer vision and machine learning to work on geospatial problems at a planetary scale. You'll develop models that turn satellite imagery into a structured, actionable understanding of the Earth's surface- work that directly impacts how decisions are made across agriculture, forestry, climate, and beyond.\nThis is a hands-on IC role. You'll own problems end-to-end: from formulating hypotheses and building datasets to training models, validating them rigorously, and shipping production-ready systems. You'll work with terabytes of multi-temporal, multi-sensor imagery and build solutions that generalise across geographies, seasons, and sensing modalities.\nResponsibilities:\nDevelop and ship computer vision models for tasks such as semantic segmentation, change detection, super-resolution, and temporal sequence modelling.\nOwn the full lifecycle of ML projects: problem scoping, data pipeline design, model development, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring.\nDesign experiments rigorously, define meaningful metrics, and calibrate them against business outcomes.\nWrite clean, production-grade code in Python/PyTorch. Work with distributed training infrastructure and large-scale data pipelines.\nCollaborate closely with product, MLOps, platform, and geospatial teams to translate ambiguous real-world problems into well-scoped technical solutions.\nCommunicate findings clearly through internal documents and presentations.\nMust Have\n3+ years of applied ML/Computer Vision experience, or PhD with 1+ year of post-degree experience, in CS, EE, or a related field.\nStrong fundamentals in semantic/instance segmentation, object detection, and encoder-decoder and transformer architectures.\nProven experience taking models from prototype to production.\nProficiency in PyTorch and Python. Familiarity with distributed training and MLOps tooling.\nGood to Have\nExperience with generative models (GANs, diffusion), self-supervised and contrastive learning, domain adaptation, semi-supervised learning, or model compression (distillation, pruning, quantisation).\nExperience with geospatial or remote sensing data (satellite imagery, multi-spectral or SAR data, temporal modelling).\nExposure to agricultural applications (crop classification, crop monitoring) or forestry applications (canopy height estimation, deforestation monitoring).\nResearch publications at reputed venues or patents.\nExperience with foundation models, representation learning, or cross-modal fusion.\nBenefits:\nMedical Health Cover for you and your family, including unlimited online doctor consultations\nAccess to mental health experts for you and your family\nDedicated allowances for learning and skill development\nComprehensive leave policy with casual leaves, paid leaves, marriage leaves, bereavement leaves","description_format":"text","description_chars":3502,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Geospatial Analytics","AgTech","Earth Observation","Geospatial AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-18T05:36:10Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":17,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.388,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":51,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-08T05:47:12Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/satsure-data-scientist-2-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/satsure-data-scientist-2-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-08T07:11:35Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":15601,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-09T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":59505},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=59505"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsatsure-data-scientist-2-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsatsure-data-scientist-2-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsatsure-data-scientist-2-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/satsure-data-scientist-2-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsatsure-data-scientist-2-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1020866}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"satsure.co","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1020866},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
