Sr. Software Engineer

OUR VISION

At Earth Daily Analytics (EDA), 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 toughest challenges in agriculture, energy and mining, insurance and risk mitigation, wildfire and forest intelligence, carbon‑capture verification and more.

EDA’s signature Earth Observation mission, the Earth Daily Constellation (EDC), is currently under construction. EDC will be the most powerful global change detection and change monitoring system ever developed, capable of generating unprecedented predictive analytics and insights. It will combine with the Earth Pipeline data processing system to provide unprecedented, scientific‑grade data of the world every day, positioning EDA to meet the growing needs of diverse industries.

Our global, enterprise‑wide team represents a variety of business lines and is made up of business development, sales, marketing and support professionals, data scientists, software engineers, project managers and finance, HR, and IT professionals. Our Data & Platform team is nimble and collaborative, and in preparation for launching a frontier and disruptive product in EDC, we are currently looking for a Sr.
