We are an AI-native, agentic intelligence platform built from the ground up tooperateat planetaryscale -transforming vast streams of geospatial data into predictive signals that matter. Powered bycutting-edgeGoogle Cloud infrastructure, frontier Gen AI models, and collaboration with Google Research on next-generation Earth AI, we are pushing the boundaries ofhow AI can help enterprisesee, reason about, and act on. Our mission is clear: deliver decision superiority in moments that matter. From national security to global enterprise operations, our platform provides contextual spatial awareness and anticipatory threat detection for customersoperatingin high-stakes environments. This is not incremental AI-this isintelligence engineered for global impact. Responsibilities * Design, develop, and deploy AI-native software products that transform large-scale geospatial data into actionable intelligence and mission-critical insights. * Implement multi-agent workflows using modern orchestration frameworks (e.g., Google ADK,LangChain,LangGraph) to enable autonomous reasoning, planning, and execution. * Integratestate-of-the-artLarge Language Models (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, etc.) to power contextual analysis, hypothesis generation, and adaptive decision-making. * Engineer agents capable of dynamic tool use, structured reasoning, and iterative self-refinement to improve insight quality over time. * Develop robust data ingestion and transformation layers to support pattern-of-life, detection, anomaly identification, and predictive analytics * Ensure secure, scalable integrations across cloud and enterprise environments. * Create feedback loops and reinforcement mechanisms to iteratively improve model reliability and operational trustworthiness. * Deploy andoperateAI systems in production using modern DevOps practices (containerization, orchestration, CI/CD). * Leverage AI development agents (e.g., Codex, Gemini CLI, Claude Code) as forcemultipliers for software design, implementation, testing, and documentation. * Contribute to shared engineering standards, documentation, and best practices for AI-first development. ## Related Videos - [ Evaluating AI models for code comprehension](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1462-evaluating-ai-models-for-code-comprehension) - [Kubernetes and Microservices with Multi-Model Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/382-kubernetes-and-microservices-with-multi-model-databases) - [Your imaginations is (no longer) the limit: how Generative AI empowers people to be creative](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/741-your-imaginations-is-no-longer-the-limit-how-generative-ai-empowers-people-to-be-creative) - [Hiring AI Native Talents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100268-hiring-ai-native-talents) - [Streaming AI Responses in Real-Time with SSE in Next.js & NestJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1630-streaming-ai-responses-in-real-time-with-sse-in-next-js-nestjs) - [Your next 10x engineer isn't in your city.
