  • Hands-on experience with frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, XGBoost, or LightGBM.
  • Experience with data tools such as Dask, Spark, or GeoPandas.
  • Familiarity with GCP and Vertex AI, or similar cloud-based ML platforms.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across technical and scientific domains.
  • Comfort leading architectural discussions and mentoring other engineers.
  • Must be based in the US or Canada.
  • Time zone alignment required: Eastern North America (NST, AST, EST).
  • Preferred experience in wildfire science, forestry, or remote sensing.
  • Preferred experience integrating physics-based models with ML, active learning, or uncertainty quantification.
  • Preferred experience with model interpretability and data provenance for environmental ML systems.
  • Preferred experience with deep learning models for weather or climate data.
  • Preferred experience working in remote-first or globally distributed teams.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary with equity.
  • Flexible working environment with a high degree of autonomy.
  • Remote working budget.
