About Ambee

Ambee homogenizes the world’s diverse climate inputs into analytics-grade datasets—pollen, air, weather, and wildfires for actionable business insights. Backed by Techstars.

About the role

We're hiring a Data Scientist to build the models and analytics behind Ambee's climate intelligence products. You'll turn sensor readings, satellite imagery and weather data into accurate, hyperlocal predictions for air quality, pollen, weather and wildfire risk. You'll own problems end to end, from exploring raw data and engineering features to training, validating and shipping models that power the APIs our customers rely on every day. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Work with stakeholders to frame business and scientific questions as well-defined data science problems with clear success metrics
  • Build, train and validate statistical and machine learning models for forecasting, nowcasting, spatial interpolation and anomaly detection across environmental data
  • Combine and clean data from ground sensors, satellites, weather models and third-party sources, handling gaps, drift, outliers and calibration issues
  • Engineer features from large spatio-temporal datasets, including time series, geospatial rasters and point data
  • Design rigorous evaluation: backtesting, cross-validation, error analysis and comparison against ground truth
  • Work with engineering to deploy models to production, and monitor their accuracy, drift and cost over time

About Ambee

Ambee is building climate intelligence. We combine proprietary on-ground sensor data, satellite and earth observation data, and advanced data science to produce hyperlocal insights on air quality, pollen, weather, wildfire and more. Businesses and organisations use this intelligence through our APIs and platforms to understand environmental risk and make better decisions. Behind it are data systems that process massive volumes of data every day, so scale, accuracy and reliability are core to everything we build.
