Job Description

OUR VISION

At EarthDaily Analytics (EDA), we strive to build a more sustainable planet by creating innovative solutions that combine satellite imagery of the Earth, modern software engineering, machine learning, and cloud computing to solve the toughest challenges in agriculture, energy and mining, insurance and risk mitigation, wildfire and forest intelligence, carbon-capture verification and more.

EDA’s signature Earth Observation mission, the EarthDaily Constellation (EDC), is currently under construction. The EDC will be the most powerful global change detection and change monitoring system ever developed, capable of generating unprecedented predictive analytics and insights. It will combine with the EarthPipeline data processing system to provide unprecedented, scientific-grade data of the world every day, positioning EDA to meet the growing needs of diverse industries.

OUR TEAM

Our global, enterprise-wide team represents a variety of business lines and is made up of business development, sales, marketing and support professionals, data scientists, software engineers, project managers and finance, HR, and IT professionals. Our Earth Insights team is nimble and collaborative, and in preparation for launching a frontier and disruptive product in EDC, we are currently looking for an experienced Senior HPC Cloud Engineer  to join our crew!

READY TO LAUNCH?

Do you want to work for one of the most exciting space companies at the forefront of global change detection / change monitoring to design, build, and optimize high-performance computing infrastructure on AWS and other hyperscalers? The ideal candidate will have experience in cloud engineering, HPC engineering, DevOps, Python development, AWS cloud architecture, containerization technologies and orchestration, and database design to support computationally intensive workloads at scale.

PREPARE FOR IMPACT!

As a key technical leader, reporting to the Director of Product Management for EarthInsights, you will architect cloud-native solutions that bridge traditional HPC paradigms with modern DevOps practices, enabling our organization to leverage elastic cloud resources for complex simulations, data processing, and scientific computing. You will be responsible for scaling our existing infrastructure while troubleshooting critical issues across distributed compute clusters spanning multiple cloud providers. This role demands both deep technical expertise in HPC technologies and the versatility to work across the full stack—from low-level computational debugging to high-level application development. Working remotely with a high degree of autonomy, you will drive infrastructure innovation, optimize resource utilization, and implement best practices that directly impact our computational capabilities and operational efficiency. Your work will be instrumental in accelerating product development, delivering high-value data to our clients, reducing infrastructure costs, and ensuring our HPC platforms remain reliable and performant.

RESPONSIBILITIES :
