Role Overview

We are seeking a motivated and talented Geoscpatial Data Scientist to join our growing technology team. This role is ideal for a junior data scientist / AI engineer with 2–3 years of experience, a strong technical foundation, and the ambition to contribute to cutting-edge technology development.

The ideal candidate combines data science expertise, software engineering capability, and a geoscience mindset, enabling them to analyse complex datasets, build AI/ML models, and support the further development of our proprietary algorithms. This role offers a unique opportunity to shape our technical roadmap and collaborate closely with senior engineers and domain specialists.

Key Responsibilities

· Develop, implement, and maintain AI and machine learning algorithms in collaboration with the tech team.

· Use GIS software (e.g., ArcGIS, QGIS, or similar) to manage, visualize, and analyze spatial data.

· Perform data analysis and data modelling across geoscience, engineering, and operational datasets.

· Process, clean, and structure geospatial datasets and integrate them into analytical workflows.

· Build and optimize data pipelines and preprocessing workflows for geospatial and non-geospatial data.

· Conduct exploratory data analysis (EDA) to derive insights and support product development.

· Develop prototypes and proof-of-concept models for algorithmic innovations.

· Work closely with software engineers to integrate algorithms into production environments.

· Document models, workflows, geospatial analyses, and methodologies.

· Support continuous improvement of our models, geospatial data architecture, and analytical tools.

Qualifications & Profile

· Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Geoscience, Engineering, or a related technical field.

· 2–3 years of experience in data science, data analytics, or applied AI/ML engineering.

· Strong programming skills in Python, ideally with ML libraries (NumPy, pandas, SciKit-Learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch).

· Experience with GIS tools (ArcGIS, QGIS) and geospatial data formats.

· Solid understanding of machine learning, statistics, and data modeling.

· Experience building data pipelines and working with large structured and unstructured datasets.

· Familiarity with geoscience, remote sensing, or industrial/engineering datasets (a strong plus).

· Knowledge of software engineering principles, version control (Git), and model/API deployment.

· Strong analytical mindset and clear communication skills.

What We Offer

• A unique opportunity to shape technology and data science in a pioneering maritime exploration company.
• Direct impact on our technology stack, AI algorithm and data analytics portfolio.
• Dynamic, international team of entrepreneurs, technologists, and explorers.
• Competitive compensation with attractive incentive.
