- 1+ years of industry-relevant work experience

What the job involves
- Ecopia Tech is an industry-leading AI company specializing in extracting insights from geospatial big data. Millions of geospatial images are captured every day by satellites, airplanes, and other vehicles. Ecopia converts this flood of pixels into high-definition (HD) vector maps, leveraging AI to empower a wide range of decision-makers
- Work with the platform team to design the cloud platform system architecture, design, and implement a highly available distributed system framework；
- Work with the platform team to develop cloud platform analysis modules, addressing performance optimization challenges in real-time and offline data processing workflows
- Work with the platform team to apply container-related technologies to our system and develop a distributed system-related monitoring framework
Our take
Ecopia uses AI to create HD vector maps using high-resolution imagery of the Earth. It’s an impressive capability that has, for example, seen the company map in great digital detail the entirety of the US and the buildings within it. The applications for this kind of up-to-date information are endless, and, for Ecopia’s customers, have already ranged from insurance and regulatory compliance to coastal management with the NOAA.
Ecopia claims to have hundreds of governmental and commercial customers using its maps in over 100 different countries, growing at a steady and profitable enough pace to sustain it through its bootstrapped period. It’s not hard to see why: these digital maps create rich, detailed data that satellite imagery, however sharp, simply can’t provide.
The company is receiving a steady stream of high-profile contracts, including one to help map broadband coverage for the entirety of Canada. Demand for Ecopia's digital mapping services, in a world where digital transformation is more prevalent than ever, looks set only to grow - now, perhaps, at a faster pace.
