Geospatial Lead Remote Sensing

Location: Stockholm (hybrid) or remote in Sweden; occasional domestic travel

Reports to: Head of Data / CTO

Type: Full-time, senior technical lead

Role summary

Own methodology, quality, and delivery for our satellite analytics— from ingestion specs and preprocessing to domain-aware algorithms, QA thresholds, and data contracts. You’re the bridge between product, ML, and users, ensuring outputs are accurate, explainable, and production-ready.

What you’ll do

• Lead EO methodology: cloud masking, atmospheric correction, mosaicking, pansharpening, time-series analysis.
• Define and enforce ingestion and quality specs for open/commercial feeds (e.g., Sentinel, Landsat, Planet, Maxar).
• Drive feature design and validation for CV/EO models; establish physics-aware checks and a ground-truth program.
• Specify and evolve data contracts/APIs between ingestion, models, and the product platform; own QA and SLAs.
• Mentor geospatial engineers; coordinate cross-functional delivery (data, ML, product).
• Own MLOps: timeliness, accuracy, observability, and trade-off governance.
• Contribute to vendor dialogue/procurement for commercial imagery.

Must-have

• 3+ Years experience in remote sensing/geospatial analytics with production EO systems experience.
• Deep knowledge of Sentinel/Landsat and commercial imagery (resolution, revisit, radiometry).
• Tooling: GDAL, rasterio, rioxarray, SNAP/Sen2Cor, PostGIS, QGIS; strong Python.
• Demonstrated experience with cloud-based EO pipelines and API/data-contract design.
• Proven team leadership and track record of setting/meeting SLAs.

Nice-to-have

• Google Earth Engine; domain familiarity with forestry/ports/logistics; commercial imagery procurement.
• Prior responsibility for QA, compliance, and ethical handling of geo-data.

Why Centersource

• Build a Sweden-based reference product that turns space data into real market intelligence.
• Short path from methodology to real usage (UI, alerts, APIs).
• Broad mandate, high impact, and close collaboration with leadership.
