EarthDaily Analytics

OUR VISION

At EarthDaily Analytics we strive to build a more sustainable planet by creating innovative solutions that combine satellite imagery of the Earth, modern software engineering, machine learning, and cloud computing to solve the world’s toughest challenges in agriculture, water management, carbon capture verification and more. Our focus has been on building the world’s most advanced satellite image processing pipelines capable of delivering automated, reliable, meaningful analytics from our customers’ satellites and our own. Our belief is that insights can only be as good as the data itself and we pride ourselves on generating the highest quality data products in the industry.

OUR TEAM

We’re a multidisciplinary team of software engineers with backgrounds in Geography, Physics, Computer Science, Atmospheric Studies, Mathematics, Cloud Infrastructure, Industrial Design, and Aerospace Engineering among others. Our diversity is core to our success in building the most innovative technologies on (and off!) the planet. Our team of experts have developed the world’s first colour HD video from space, developed the processing pipelines for some of the most well-known commercial satellites, and have built the world’s first automated Satellite Processing service which is being applied partner satellites and our upcoming constellation. 

Our Software Engineers embrace a DevOps culture, work as a highly collaborative team in an agile based iterative development environment and are leading the next revolution in satellite-based Earth Observation remote sensing through problem solving, growth and ownership.

READY TO LAUNCH?

Do you want to work in the space industry and built innovative CICD pipelines and fully automated test suites to ensure the very high quality software systems (cloud infrastructure to application) to help drive applications for Earth’s sustainability? Do you have experience building CICD pipelines and modern test frameworks on cloud-based infrastructure? We want to hear from you! Space geeks and innovators are always encouraged to apply! We’re a team dedicated to developing innovative Software Solutions for Space and we’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Test) to make this happen.

PREPARE FOR IMPACT!

As a Senior Software Engineer (Test), you will have overall responsibility for defining, evaluating, prototyping, designing, implementing, testing, documenting, evolving, deploying, maintaining and applying DevOps practices to our CICD pipeline and automated test framework and test suites. These are critical foundational capabilities used to ensure all our software and infrastructure are of the highest quality standards to support EarthDaily’s Earth Observation Satellite and Sensors (present and future), Value-Added Products and internal systems/service’s need. You will be a Senior member of the Engineering team with high impact activities that include:

Define, design, implement, test, debug, deploy and evolve automated test framework and test suite software/infrastructure capabilities, which includes but not limited to functional, integration, end to end, load, stress, quality, security, tests for both software and infrastructural components
Conduct and participate in technical and interface discussions, design reviews, code reviews and feature verifications with other team members. 
Monitor, triage and fix bugs in services with active stakeholders.
Participate in sprint planning, sprint closure, sprint demos, and sprint retrospectives
