Role

Who you are

Strong Python engineering fundamentals with clean, maintainable coding style
Deep experience with PyTorch and PyTorch Lightning
Experience implementing and training deep learning models at scale
Strong understanding of ML experimentation, versioning, and tracking via MLflow and Databricks
Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and optimization skills
Familiarity with AWS or other cloud platforms
Geospatial experience is highly preferred, including tools such as GDAL, Rasterio, GeoPandas, STAC, and basic SAR preprocessing libraries

What the job involves

LiveEO leverages satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to provide actionable insights that drive decision-making across various industries
For example, we detect trees and their height in high-resolution imagery to help protect power grids, identify dangerous construction work around critical infrastructure, and ensure compliance with deforestation regulations
We are now looking for a Senior AI Engineer to help build powerful multimodal models and large-scale training systems that operate on both optical/multispectral and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data
This is a balanced role-part research, part engineering, all impact The work will involve both research-style tasks and practical engineering work
As a Senior AI Engineer, you will drive the development of state-of-the-art AI systems that can learn from and reason about large volumes of satellite imagery
Design and prototype multimodal architectures that combine optical and SAR inputs
Explore or adapt emerging foundation models for remote sensing tasks
Benchmark different modeling strategies and evaluate performance across diverse datasets
Build scalable training pipelines including tiling, sampling, augmentations, and distributed training workflows
Optimize pipelines for throughput, memory, and cost using Databricks, PyTorch Lightning, and MLflow
Automate experimentation, tracking, and comparison using MLflow and Databricks
Ensure your models and pipelines integrate smoothly into LiveEO’s production systems

Our take

LiveEO’s Earth Observation platform uses satellite data, data analysis software, and AI to help infrastructure companies monitor and assess risks. Backed by the European Space Agency, LiveEO, founded in 2017, has major European clients like Deutsche Bahn, E.ON subsidiaries, and Gascade. And a partnership with Planet enables global scaling of its monitoring operations.

Since 2021, LiveEO has tripled its revenues and doubled its workforce, showcasing its successful integration of space tech and enterprise data. Recently, it also secured $10M from Greencode Ventures, allowing entry into the market for compliance with the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). This regulation mandates companies verify their imported commodities do not contribute to deforestation.

LiveEO’s AI models are enhancing climate resilience for global infrastructure networks, including collaborations in the USA, Australia, and Japan. The company's new deforestation monitoring solution positions LiveEO as a leader in this emerging market too. With a robust AI and deep tech stack, LiveEO is setting a new industry standard, unlocking the full potential of earth observation for humanity and life on Earth.
