*What can we learn from vast archives of satellite and drone imagery?
Development Seed, with support from the Earth on AWS program at Amazon
Web
Services, is offering a fellowship to work on innovative projects
using big
Earth data to address big global challenges.*
*As a Development Seed / Earth on AWS Data Fellow, you will
collaborate
with the Development Seed team to advance the field of Earth
observation
data. You will apply machine learning and / or data processing to
advance
our understanding of how Earth data can be organized and mined for
deep
insights. You will develop open source software that will contribute
new
Earth data formats, architecture or applications.*
*Your work will help Development Seed partners (organizations like the
World Bank, the Red Cross, the Global Resilience Partnership, and
NASA) to
make better decisions and deliver impactful services. This fellowship
is
offered in a collaboration with the Earth on AWS program. Fellows will
have
access to AWS computing resource and will receive support and training
from
AWS machine learning experts.*
*The Fellowship is a full-time 10 week position (with permanent
potential)
and will allow you to learn about the industries and communities we
work
in, and push our team and projects forward. Your main focus will be on
one
of our open-source projects that supports accessible, open earth data.
However, you will also have the ability to directly contribute to
projects
with leading civic and government organizations and have positive real
world impact.*
*Ideal candidates have experience with:*
- *Earth data formats (Cloud-optimized GeoTIFFs)*
- *Machine Learning Frameworks (TensorFlow, Torch, Caffe, etc.)*
- *AWS Services (EC2, Batch, SageMaker, Rekognition, Lambda, S3)*
- *Computer Vision (OpenCV, Scikit, etc.)*
- *Remotely sensed data and associated libraries (GDAL, QGIS)*
- *Node.js or Python*
*If this sounds like you, send your resume to j...@developmentseed.org
<j...@developmentseed.org>. Tell us about yourself and what you’d
love to
work on at Development Seed. Not sure you tick all the boxes? We
encourage
you to apply - we have a culture of learning, and if this job
description
gets you excited, we want to hear from you.*
*Development Seed is a group of developers and designers who create
positive social impact with open tech and open knowledge, specializing
in
platforms that derive useful insights from complex data. We build open
tools to allow organizations to benefit from powerful machine learning
methods. This includes Label Maker and our Skynet suite which make it
easier to create feature extraction models anywhere in the world. Read
more
about our work on our blog, and check out our latest post around our
latest
machine learning work.*
*Earth on AWS provides open access to dozens of massive earth data
archives
in machine accessible formats, including Landsat, NextRad, GDELT, and
OpenStreetMap data.*
*This position is based in DC.*
