Team Overview Insights is redefining how the world understands what’s happening on Earth. We are an AI-native, agentic intelligence platform built from the ground up to operate at planetary scale – transforming vast streams of geospatial data into predictive signals that matter. Powered by cutting-edge Google Cloud infrastructure, frontier Gen AI models, and collaboration with Google Research on next-generation Earth AI, we are pushing the boundaries of how AI can help enterprise see, reason about, and act on. Our mission is clear: deliver decision superiority in moments that matter. From national security to global enterprise operations, our platform provides contextual spatial awareness and anticipatory threat detection for customers operating in high-stakes environments. This is not incremental AI – this is intelligence engineered for global impact. Responsibilities • Design, develop, and deploy AI-native software products that transform large-scale geospatial data into actionable intelligence and mission-critical insights. • Implement multi-agent workflows using modern orchestration frameworks (e.g., Google ADK, LangChain, LangGraph) to enable autonomous reasoning, planning, and execution. • Integrate state-of-the-art Large Language Models (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, etc.) to power contextual analysis, hypothesis generation, and adaptive decision-making. • Engineer agents capable of dynamic tool use, structured reasoning, and iterative self-refinement to improve insight quality over time. • Develop robust data ingestion and transformation layers to support pattern-of-life, detection, anomaly identification, and predictive analytics • Ensure secure, scalable integrations across cloud and enterprise environments. • Create feedback loops and reinforcement mechanisms to iteratively improve model reliability and operational trustworthiness. • Deploy and operate AI systems in production using modern DevOps practices (containerization, orchestration, CI/CD). • Leverage AI development agents (e.g., Codex, Gemini CLI, Claude Code) as force multipliers for software design, implementation, testing, and documentation. • Contribute to shared engineering standards, documentation, and best practices for AI-first development. Minimum Qualifications • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field. Advanced degrees are preferred but not required. • Must be a U.S. Citizen • 7 years of proven experience in a relevant technology domain, with preference for Software engineer and AI/ML • ‘Strong understanding of technical concepts related to managing cloud-based data and machine learning pipelines (e.g., AWS or GCP) • Significant software development experience with Python, JavaScript, or similar Preferred Skills • Familiarity with vector databases, embeddings, and retrieval-augmented generation(RAG) architectures. • Knowledge of distributed systems design and high-availability architectures supporting global-scale workloads. • Leverages AI for team velocity and upskilling, including using AI-assisted development heavily, prototyping quickly, automating repetitive engineering tasks and moving faster than traditional SWE teams. • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills • Ability to work independently and collaboratively with remote and/or geographically distributed teams • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and manage multiple priorities simultaneously Pay Transparency: To support pay transparency, Vantor includes salary ranges in all U.S. job postings.
