Development Seed seeks an engineer with experience in machine learning. Here, you will work with us to build tools that extract insights from large datasets, especially satellite imagery data. You will help solve pressing social and environmental challenges, and create powerful new knowledge for organizations like UNICEF, the World Bank, The Washington Post, and NASA. Our work is a combination of research, implementation, and delivery, and you’ll partner with researchers at half a dozen universities to explore novel machine learning approaches. Ultimately, you’ll build tools that help our clients make better decisions and deliver better services.
Development Seed is a group of developers and designers who create positive social impact with open tech and open knowledge. We specialize in platforms that derive useful insights from complex data. We are currently building a suite of tools to allow these global organizations to benefit from powerful machine learning methods. At the heart of this effort is our Skynet suite, which automates mapping in developing countries using OSM as a training set: https://developmentseed.org/blog/2017/01/30/machine-learning....
