Events in recent years have made us all too familiar with the havoc that natural disasters can wreak, and the increasing frequency and intensity with which they are occurring.

Despite record levels of losses, conventional methods of risk modeling continue to paint at best an incomplete picture of these threats.

Zesty.ai uses novel data gathering and machine learning approaches to produce higher quality information about the risks to property from catastrophes like floods and wildfires.  While AI alone may not be able to thwart these disasters, it can help us become more prepared for them, and ultimately that will lead to better outcomes.

As a Machine Learning Engineer, you are comfortable and excited to work closely with the engineering team to build the best AI tech possible. You will develop top tier models that will give us strong insights to maximize the impact of our company efforts. You thrive in a collaborative, creative environment that moves fast and are comfortable setting in place structures and processes to help the company scale.

The Opportunity:

• Research and model aspects of the built environment utilizing satellite imagery, LiDAR and other datasets
• Help develop training and cross­-validation data sets for machine learning algorithms
• Translate product management, engineering, and business constraints and queries into tractable data science questions
• Iterate rapidly on everything; all of the above happens in a fast paced business driven environment that you must be comfortable with
• Develop computer vision algorithms that extract insights from aerial imagery and geospatial data
