• Design and implement scalable geospatial processing workflows using Earth observation datasets (e.g., Sentinel, SAR etc.) to generate field/regional scale insights for digital agriculture applications.
• Architect, develop, and deploy scalable geospatial data products and cloud-native processing solutions that integrate multiple data types with earth observational datasets to support production digital agriculture solutions.
• Partner with data scientists, agronomists, software engineers, and product teams to operationalize geospatial insights and enable scalable solutions.
• Provide technical leadership in geospatial engineering, remote sensing, cloud architecture, and emerging Earth observation technologies, while promoting best practices in scalability, data quality, and system design.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Geospatial Science, Remote Sensing, GIS, Computer Science, Data Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in geospatial engineering, remote sensing, geospatial software development, or related disciplines.
• Strong experience working with raster and vector geospatial data at scale.
• Proficiency in Python and modern geospatial processing frameworks.
• Experience designing cloud-based geospatial processing solutions and production workflows.
• Strong understanding of coordinate systems, projections, raster processing, and spatial analytics.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with GDAL, Rasterio, GeoPandas, Shapely, Xarray, STAC APIs, or similar geospatial tools.
• Experience with Earth Engine, GCP, AWS, Azure, or distributed processing platforms.
• Experience integrating remote sensing, weather, soil, and observational datasets.
• Knowledge of agricultural analytics, crop monitoring, pest forecasting, disease modeling, or related digital agriculture applications.
• Experience supporting machine learning workflows using geospatial features.

Success in this Role

• Deliver scalable geospatial processing systems and high-quality satellite-derived data products.
• Enable production digital agriculture solutions through effective integration of remote sensing, weather, soil, and observational datasets.
• Drive innovation in geospatial analytics and remote sensing capabilities across the organization.
