  • 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

We offer a casual and inclusive working environment, competitive compensation, and great benefits. We are a values-driven company, and take great pride in building products that are designed to improve lives and foster development.

Starting base salary range for candidates depending upon level of experience and location: $150,000 - $180,000.  Performance-based compensation will constitute a significant portion of total compensation, as will equity participation.

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.
