Engineering Manager, Machine Learning
RunwayFull Time
Junior (1 to 2 years), Senior (5 to 8 years)
Candidates must possess strong Python skills and experience translating prototype capabilities into principled software using sound data structures and thoughtful design patterns. A minimum of 8 years of development experience is required, along with a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience. Experience in computer vision, cloud-based image processing workflows, machine learning, or distributed computing is also necessary. A Master's degree in a related field is desired, as is recent experience with MLOps tools, orchestration and deployment infrastructure like Kubernetes and Docker, AWS managed services, IaC tools, Git tools, distributed computing frameworks, ML tools like PyTorch and Scikit-Learn, database and storage technologies, and experience building production pipelines for large-scale geospatial datasets. Knowledge of satellite image formation, radiometry, image acquisition metadata, multi-band image processing, and time-series geospatial data is preferred.
The Tech Lead Manager will lead a team focused on building new AI/ML capabilities for large-scale satellite imagery processing pipelines, machine learning model training systems, and remote sensing foundation models. Responsibilities include taking nascent capabilities into production, enhancing them, and building systems that support analytics production at scale. This involves developing tools and processes, maturing prototypes into production-ready systems, and owning the deployment and operation of ML systems. The role also includes developing algorithmic solutions to complex customer problems, working on change detection and spatiotemporal analytics with geospatial data, and building software systems that support user- and mission-critical workflows. Additionally, the Tech Lead Manager will serve as a people manager for a distributed team of approximately 5 staff, conducting 1:1s, enabling growth, and managing performance.
