  • Strong technical background in geospatial AI or similar data & analytics fields preferred, with the ability to translate and communicate complex methodologies and AI applications in domains such as energy, transportation, telecommunications, supply chains, civil infrastructure systems, built environment, or economic development
  • Experience leading cross-disciplinary teams to successfully deliver research and applied investigative engagements through to completion.
  • Facility with individual as well as collaborative work products and modes such as proposals, models, papers, reports, workshops, focus groups
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to engage effectively with diverse stakeholders

    Company Overview

    At Atlas AI, we are pioneering the use of advanced geospatial data and AI to tackle some of the most pressing challenges of our time. Our mission is to empower organizations to adapt and thrive amidst changing global forces such as climate change, geopolitics and global market and supply-chain dynamics. We provide a cutting-edge Geospatial AI platform that offers a living map of population, wealth, climate, and economic development trends worldwide. This enables organizations to harness real-time data to build geospatial AI models, guiding investment decisions and fostering resilience in an uncertain future.

    Our technology addresses two critical gaps : the lack of granular, up-to-date information on local development trends, and the difficulty most organizations face in building predictive models with geospatial data. By seamlessly integrating these capabilities into enterprise workflows, Atlas AI helps organizations navigate climate uncertainty, support vulnerable communities, optimize supply chains, and target investments with precision. Our customers have leveraged our platform to accelerate solar market adoption, forecast demand for climate adaptation solutions, and enhance nutrition supply chains in climate-vulnerable regions.

    One of our three target market segments is the International Development (ID) community, where we leverage advanced AI and satellite imagery to provide crucial insights for decision-makers worldwide.   The ID segment at Atlas AI encompasses the GeoAI-based investment and operations decision support product portfolios of International Financial Institutions (IFIs), Multilateral Development Agencies (MDAs), Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), para-statals, and related in-country organizations. The ID portfolio objective is to enable partners to pursue one or more Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the mobilization of resources to further them.

    Atlas AI was named the Startup of the Year at the World Sustainability Awards in 2023 and was named Google Cloud’s Global Partner of the Year in 2024 for Industry Sustainability Solutions.

    Perks & Benefits

  • Fast-paced and team-oriented environment where you will be instrumental in the direction of the company.
  • Atlas AI is a 100% remote company with occasional in-person meet-ups in SF, NYC, Nairobi (Kenya) and Kaunas (Lithuania).
  • Competitive compensation & equity.
  • Outsized responsibilities & professional development budget.
  • Opportunities to travel to conferences, events and other industry-led symposiums.
  • Training is foundational; functional, customer immersion, and development training.
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance including dependents (exact benefits vary by region).
  • Unlimited paid time off, with a target goal of 20 days off per year + public holidays (region dependent).
  • Paid parental leave (exact benefits vary by region).
  • Home office setup allowance, co-working space stipend, and company MacBook.
  • Monthly wellness benefit.
  • Opportunities to co-author research papers and patents (role-dependent).
