Key job responsibilities
- Develop geospatial optimization models that generalize across diverse customer use cases in logistics, transportation, and spatial planning
- Scope optimization projects with multiple customers in mind, abstracting away complex science problems to create scalable solutions
- Discover, evaluate, and adapt existing optimization models and geospatial tools for customer deployment
- Develop semantic enrichment methods to integrate heterogeneous data sources including open geospatial data, multimodal sensor data, images, videos, satellite imagery, and documents
- Research novel approaches combining AI agents with geospatial optimization to solve complex spatial problems
- Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate science components into production systems
- Conduct rigorous experimentation and establish evaluation frameworks to measure solution performance

A day in the life
A day in the life As an Applied Scientist, you'll develop optimization algorithms and AI-powered geospatial solutions while maintaining a clear path to customer impact. You'll investigate novel approaches to spatial optimization, develop methods for semantic data enrichment, and validate ideas through rigorous experimentation with real customer data. You'll collaborate with other scientists and engineers to transform research insights into scalable solutions, work directly with enterprise customers to understand requirements, and help shape the future direction. Leveraging and advancing generative AI technology will be a big part of your charter.
