  • Hands-on familiarity with backend software (java, spring boot, python, etc), frontend frameworks (react, angular, etc), databases and data warehouses (PostgreSQL, Snowflake, etc), and other industry-standard software development
  • Excellent communication skills with ability to translate technical concepts to business stakeholders
  • Desirable :

  • Background in satellite-based remote sensing, planning and optimization systems (e.g. timefold), and collaborating with physics-heavy research teams
  • Familiarity with AI and machine learning infrastructure, software, training, and deployment
  • Familiarity with backend “data platform” systems : data warehouses, extract-load-transform (ELT) operations, and transformation tools (dbt)
