What the job involves
- As a senior member of the team, you will be leading the design and development of Analytics and Workflows to process vast amounts of geospatial and enterprise data, and power ML inferencing and experimentation
- In the role, you will work closely with stakeholders across teams such as Data Science, Product, and DevOps; and will have ample opportunities to guide and mentor other team members

- Data architecture: Take ownership of designing and maintaining data architecture and storage solutions
- Performance tuning and optimization: Continuously optimize data workflows for performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency, including working with big data tools and cloud platforms

Our take
The growing constellations of satellites delivering high definition earth imaging, along with advancements in AI, have spawned a flourishing business in ‘digital twins’ for global asset management. These digital data-compilation copies of on-the-ground locations can be used to help predict and mitigate the effects of climate disaster events - which cost the US billions of dollars each year.
AiDash’s various products help manage disaster and disruption, wildfires, and vegetation monitoring. The latter service, its original one, has a host of high-profile global clients, such as National Grid. The company's expansion into climate resilience demonstrates a keen awareness of both its techs potential and the direction of the market - with environmental issues becoming even more of a hot topic in recent years.
The company has done well to prove its agility, which may well enable it to stay ahead of more specified rivals as they enter the scene. This includes companies like Kettle and Technosylva which operate in the predictive climate analytics space. AiDash's comparatively diverse offering should help it retain a competitive edge, as, off the back of an oversubscribed $50 million in Series C, it prepares for heightened global expansion efforts.
