Culture is the personality of a company. It is our company's shared beliefs, values, and practices. At SkyWatch, our culture is incredibly important to us, and we practice it every day. Both as a company and in our products, we value simplicity, dependability, and empathy. Let’s face it — the best jobs boil down to a handful of things: getting the chance to work with amazing people in a great culture with leaders who have your back while pursuing a vision that you can get passionate about.
Please note that SkyWatch may use AI throughout various portions of the talent process.
The mission
Grow SkyWatch’s data products beyond 2D imagery, into 3D, elevation, vessel tracking and location-based vector data, and get them into the hands of the customers who need them.
These products will become a large portion of SkyWatch’s data sales, and this is our first dedicated hire for them. Your job is to make them products customers can easily find, buy and use, wherever they work.
You take over our current 3D work and lead it and the 3D work that follows. You then extend the same approach to the data types after it. You work alongside our image processing team, and your products reach commercial GIS users, cities and defence customers. This is a broad role. When the business needs geospatial judgment beyond 3D, you are the person we turn to.
We are an integrator. Third-party capabilities are our first choice for producing data products, so most of this job is integration, upstream with providers and downstream into the places customers work. The geospatial depth we value most is knowing how these products serve our customers’ use cases.
Compensation
Base salary plus stock options. Health benefits, and remote or hybrid work in Canada.
Base salary: CA$135,000 to CA$165,000
, depending on experience. This is an existing vacancy.
Why SkyWatch
Ground floor.
The first dedicated hire for a product line we expect to grow fast, with a direct line to the people who set the roadmap.
Hard problems.
3D cities with live data running across them, and terrain accurate enough for a machine to navigate by.
The frontier.
Satellite, aerial and drone data and an AI-native product line, at a company small enough that your decisions show up in production next week.
