Description
What is Sylvera anyway? ‍👩‍👨🌳
Sylvera provides carbon data for genuine climate impact. Our mission is to incentivize investment in real climate action. 

Purchasing credits through the carbon markets is one of the most established and scalable ways to channel finance from the private sector to effective climate solutions and work toward societal net zero. Unfortunately, the voluntary carbon markets have been plagued with mistrust and a lack of effectiveness since they’ve emerged – until Sylvera. 

To help organizations ensure they're making the most effective investments, Sylvera builds software that independently and accurately automates the evaluation of carbon projects that capture, remove, or avoid emissions. With Sylvera's data and tools, businesses and governments can confidently invest in, benchmark, deliver, and report real climate impact. 

Our team is made up of leading minds in climate change from scientists to policy, finance and carbon market experts. We work in partnership with scientific organisations, universities, governments and think tanks to develop and test rigorous and holistic ratings methodologies, leveraging the latest technology. Founded in 2020, Sylvera has 150+ employees across the world with offices in London, New York, Belgrade and Singapore. We’ve raised over $96million from leading VCs like Balderton Capital, Index Ventures and Insight Partners to date. 

What will I be doing? ‍‍👩‍💻👨‍💻
The Field Data Science team at Sylvera is on a mission to accurately value the carbon stored across the world’s ecosystems, so that our customers can be sure that they are investing in real climate action. We do this by realising the combined potential of spaceborne remote sensing and AI for ongoing and accurate carbon accounting; something that has to date been limited by the lack of quality in-situ training data. Our team collects and processes these data - we have for example, pioneered multi-scale lidar methods for above-ground biomass estimation, that sees us collect laser scanning measurements from across the world’s forests using drones and helicopters.

Responsibilities will include:
- Developing this pipeline with good software engineering practices front of mind, such that the resulting data can be reliably and scalably consumed by internal and external customers
- Working in collaboration with scientific and engineering experts to design, construct and test machine learning models that use various geospatial covariates to predict soil organic carbon
- Proactively collaborating with colleagues across Sylvera; including with our Earth Data Platform team to collaborate on scalable engineering and ML practices, and with the customers of the resulting data

We’re looking for someone who: 🧠💚

- Has demonstrable experience and skills in developing production pipelines in Python with software engineering practices including Git, CD/CI, TDD, OOP
- Has experience using Docker, AWS, CircleCI and Dagster, or similar
- Has strong experience working with pandas, numpy & ideally xarray
- Curiosity to learn about geospatial data and vanilla ML models
- Cares deeply about the climate and ecosystems of the earth
- Is a self-starter who thrives in constantly evolving environments, is keen to own a product, ideally with early-stage experience
We’d like someone highly ambitious, motivated and eager to propel their career forward. We prioritise grit, positivity, and the willingness to get stuck in, and encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't exactly match this job description

Benefits 💰
- Equity in a rapidly growing startup
- Private Health Insurance and Life Assurance 
- Unlimited annual leave - and encouragement to actually use it!
- Enhanced parental leave 
- Up to 20 days paid sick leave 
- £500 WFH allowance 
- No corners cut in having the best tech to do your job
- Access to Mental Health support via Spill
- Monthly team socials

Location 🌍 
UK (with access to an office in London if you wanted to come in)
