Senior Scientist Modeling at Regrow

​​Who We Are:

We are a climate tech company committed to reversing climate change. How do we reach this lofty goal? By disrupting the agriculture industry!

Founded by globally-recognized innovators in science and ag technology, Regrow is unlocking the power and profitability of resilient agriculture across the supply chain — from growers to global food brands. Regrow combines best-in-class agronomy, soil and carbon modeling, and innovative data collection to deliver customized, site-specific and scalable solutions to the agri-food industry.

Our customers are frontrunners in agri-food and agtech, ranging from global market operators, project developers, global food brands, and independent farmers. We help partners measure their impact on the environment, model and implement changes that will be environmentally and financially sustainable, and track partners’ progress against sustainability goals. 

We're backed by leading investors, such as Microsoft's Venture Fund, Cargill, The Grantham Environmental Trust (NCO), AJAX Strategies, and more, all of whom believe in our vision to change the world through resilient agriculture.

Our Mission:

Agriculture has the power to reverse climate change. We believe science and technology can help us get there. 

Our goal is to use farmland to cool the earth. We are currently monitoring 200 million acres of land in over 45 countries. This year alone, with just one project, our carbon emissions reductions are equivalent to taking 17,000 cars off the road! We are already on our way to a more sustainable planet.

Growth You’ll Foster

As a Geospatial Data Scientist at Regrow, you will create the data products behind our agricultural  monitoring, reporting, and verification tools. Using your expertise in imagery analysis and machine learning, you will build tools Regrow uses to identify regenerative agricultural practices globally, allowing growers and the companies that depend on them to build more sustainable supply chains. 

What you will do:

• Design, implement, and deploy Machine Learning models for imagery time series analysis, classification, and segmentation. Applications are focused on agriculture, rangeland management, and land cover/land use mapping.
• Leverage remote sensing and other spatial datasets for model development and validation, including multispectral and SAR satellite imagery, weather and soil data, in-field measurements, and farm machinery datasets.
• Work with domain experts and product owners to design new products and derived data layers 
• Collaborate with the engineering and product team to bring science prototypes to production for user testing and validation.
• Contribute across the full product life-cycle: conduct R&D on potential focus areas, develop proof of concept data products for new offerings, and iterate on existing models to improve core products. 

Qualifications: 

• Advanced degree or equivalent experience in Earth Science, Remote Sensing, Computer Science, Statistics, or a related field.
• Experience building statistical, machine learning, and/or simulation models using remote sensing datasets.
• Strong Python programming skills, including scientific and machine learning libraries (NumPy, SciPy, SKLearn, TensorFlow, etc).
• Demonstrated ability to apply remote sensing imagery to large-scale monitoring and/or modeling in agriculture and/or natural ecosystems.
• Experience in using deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, Keras, or TensorFlow.
• Excellent English language presentation and communication skills

Desirable Skills: (bonus if you have them)

• Ability to apply standard software development processes and clearly document results.
• Familiarity with Google Earth Engine or other cloud-based satellite imagery analysis environment
