Data Scientist

**Overview**

Our team develops tools, APIs, and AI models for geospatial analysts and data scientists, enabling them to leverage the latest research in spatial data science, AI and geospatial deep learning.

As a Data Scientist, you will develop deep learning models using libraries such as PyTorch and create APIs and tools for training and deploying them on satellite imagery. If you are passionate about deep learning applied to remote sensing and GIS, developing AI and deep learning models, and love maps or geospatial datasets/imagery, this is the place to be

**Responsibilities**
- Develop tools, APIs and pretrained models for geospatial AI
- Integrate ArcGIS with popular deep learning libraries such as PyTorch
- Develop APIs and model architectures for computer vision and deep learning applied to geospatial imagery
- Author and maintain geospatial data science samples using ArcGIS and machine learning/deep learning libraries
- Curate and pre/post-process data for deep learning models and transform it into geospatial information
- Perform comparative studies of various deep learning model architectures

**Requirements**:

- 2 to 6 years of experience with Python, in data science and deep learning
- Self-learner with coursework in and extensive knowledge of machine learning and deep learning
- Experience with Python machine learning and deep learning libraries such as PyTorch, Scikit-learn, NumPy, Pandas
- Expertise in one or more of the following areas:

- Traditional and deep learning-based computer vision techniques with the ability to develop deep learning models for computer vision tasks (image classification, object detection, semantic and instance segmentation, GANs, super-resolution, image inpainting, and more)
- Convolutional neural networks such as VGG, ResNet, Faster R-CNN, Mask R-CNN, and others
- Transformer models applied to computer vision
- Expertise in 3D deep learning with Point Clouds, meshes, or Voxels with the ability to develop 3D geospatial deep learning models, such as PointCNN, MeshCNN, and more
- Experience in data visualization in Jupyter Notebooks using matplotlib and other libraries
- Experience with hyperparameter-tuning and training models to a high level of accuracy
- Bachelor's in computer science, engineering, or related disciplines from IITs and other top-tier engineering colleges
- Existing work authorization for India

**Recommended Qualifications**
- Familiarity with ArcGIS suite of products and concepts of GIS
