We are currently recruiting for our Paris office, an Intern

Junior Data Scientist H/F

The team you will be joining: Nature solution team

The Nature team helps regulators, investors, governments get insights into physical and environmental risks across the world. Building on Kayrros' satellite processing abilities, the Nature team develops large-scale solutions for tasks such as biomass estimation, species recognition, deforestation quantification, physical and environmental risk modeling and mapping.

Role:

Data scientists play a key role at Kayrros, working both on R&D discovery topics and specific projects for customers. Most of their work consists of developing models using various methods based on recent scientific papers including computer vision, machine and deep learning, and signal processing. They also collaborate with data engineers to build robust pipelines and work hand in hand with data analysts to analyze and visualize the results of their models.

They face two main challenges:

The diversity and complexity of data available. Kayrros has a strong expertise in remote sensing and has been working with data from many different sensors (multispectral, hyperspectral, SAR, LIDAR, geostationary). Understanding the specificities of each technology and choosing the most appropriate for a given problem is therefore a crucial step.
Kayrros is building knowledge around climate modeling and risk scenarii.

As a data scientist, you will therefore have to:

Formulate problems considering available data and project constraints.
Explore and review existing approaches or relevant associated scientific literature.
Design, implement and test algorithms.
Continuously provide ideas to improve products and take part in all team discussions.
Grow a culture around remote sensing data.
