Full Stack Engineer

  • Hybrid
    • Koto-ku, Tokyo, Japan
  • Solution Development Department

Job description

The team is a software engineering team to create tooling that assists scientists with sharing algorithms with the rest of the company. These algorithms use satellite data and machine learning/image processing algorithms. We are looking for a full stack engineer to help us build a pipeline to run geoscience algorithms and models efficiently.




About Dept. and Unit:

The Solutions Development Department at Synspective is responsible for developing models and algorithms which produce actionable insights for customers not specialized in the earth observation business. These algorithms may use multiple sources of data, including our own satellite data. To that end, we develop an analytics platform that enables the production of geoscience insights efficiently and easily.

The execution team is a lean team that embraces a learn fast mentality and prioritizes useful solutions for difficult business problems. The role itself will be flexible in terms of both work, experience, and learning opportunities.




Responsibility: 


  • Design and build solutions to help scientists develop algorithms

  • Build and maintain a cloud based software system to run algorithms automatically.

  • Develop and analyze metrics to help drive our north star to develop and run geoscience algorithms.



Details of work:


  • Design and develop a pipeline to run geoscience algorithms. Be responsible for all parts of this pipeline which spans all of the web stack

  • Develop tools to improve efficiency of geoscience algorithm production from inception to productization. These tools serve both the producers (scientists) and the consumers (sales team)

  • Cross-functional collaboration with multiple stakeholders to develop a product.




Selling points of this role:


  • Learn all parts of the web stack in a “learn fast” environment including both development and product planning.

  • Work with geoscientists, discuss the science, and improve on the algorithms.

  • Be part of a venture to change the world through using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data

  • Work with a group of driven engineers across multiple disciplines to achieve our goal of a learning world.

  • Work with a variety of people from diverse backgrounds.




Scope of change: Within the Solution Development Department
