Machine Learning Engineer - Sylvera｜Meet.jobs

📍 Location: London / Remote

⏰ Start Date: ASAP. End date: Flexible

What is this Sylvera you speak of? 👩‍👨

Sylvera is scaling carbon markets with software, by developing tools to quantify stocks of carbon stored in vegetation using AI applied to satellite or drone data.

Using current quantification techniques, it is impossible to provide accurate and regular data on the performance of forestry projects, which leads to issues with corruption, fraud and uncertainty. This leads to significant financial and reputational risk for corporates purchasing offsets and makes it hard for high quality forest projects to secure fair prices and low cost finance at large scale.

By providing a quantitative sequestration audit trail and associated risk ratings, Sylvera intends to underpin effective voluntary carbon markets. This will allow the market to scale to keep the planet under 2C of warming, and unlock huge co benefits for nature and society.

What’s my impact? 👩‍💻👨‍💻

• Guiding development of the core AI engine for carbon offset verification
• Contribute to development of new machine learning architectures, models and analytics products using geospatial data
• Contribute to the design and development of pipelines to train, evaluate and deploy machine learning models at scale
• Shape product and drive revenue, working with our developer team to deploy the model and serve customer requests
• Working alongside our academic partners who are leaders in the earth observation and natural carbon community to push forward the state of the art
• Publishing our methodology and model validation for open scrutiny by academics, NGO, Governments and customers
• Supporting, training and hiring other tech team members to ensure awesomeness across the team
