About the Role:  

We are seeking a talented Software Engineer with expertise in developing and deploying machine learning solutions at scale to join our team. This role is at the intersection of machine learning (ML), software engineering, and remote sensing, focusing on building innovative systems that extract actionable insights from satellite imagery for applications in agriculture, forestry, climate, land management and more. Our projects include mapping crop activities, detecting land changes, measuring forest carbon stocks, roads, buildings and other topics at the intersection of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and Earth Observation. You'll join a passionate, innovative, and distributed team that values collaboration and fosters a culture of continuous learning and impact-driven engineering.

In this role, you will work with a team to develop and deploy robust, scalable machine learning workflows, including computer vision and time-series algorithms, and integrate them into distributed systems for real-world applications.

Your work will involve designing and enhancing machine learning infrastructure for training, evaluation, and inference on global-scale datasets, ensuring performance and reliability. Additionally, you will contribute to end-to-end system development, including backend and API design, with occasional involvement in front-end and DevOps tasks to ensure seamless functionality of geospatial applications. Collaboration will be key as you work closely with a distributed team of scientists, engineers, and clients across Europe and North America, incorporating feedback to refine and enhance products. You will also establish and maintain machine learning operations workflows to monitor and optimize the performance of deployed models.

  • 4+ years of relevant work experience
  • 3+ years of experience engineering in Python/Java/Go and/or similar programming languages
  • 2+ years of experience developing and designing Computer Vision and/or Machine Learning technologies and systems.
  • Experience delivering production-grade machine learning systems at scale, with a focus on real-world applications.
  • Experience with MLOps workflows to monitor, maintain, and optimize deployed machine learning models.
  • Problem-solving skills and ability to iterate based on feedback from clients or partners.
  • Proficiency in machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch, and distributed computing for large-scale data processing.
  • Experience with end-to-end system design, including backend development, database management, and occasional front-end contributions.
  • Knowledge of computer vision and time-series modeling techniques, applied to real-world datasets.
  • Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, cross-disciplinary, and distributed team environment.
  • Ability to communicate in English, the working language of the company

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Best wishes with EchoJobs—it's become my favorite job board overnight!

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
