About Treeswift

Treeswift utilizes robotic and machine learning technology to build forestry tools. Backed by Convective Capital.

About the role

Design, build, and maintain data pipelines at scale. We run Apache Airflow 3 on Astronomer with pipelines that process terabytes of real-world physical data across many file types—imagery, audio, point clouds, and more. You will develop and evolve DAGs that orchestrate complex, multi-step workflows: dozens of tasks, fan out/in in pipelines, Python and Kubernetes operators split across generalized and specialized node pools, and dynamic DAG generation.

What they're looking for

  • This is a full-time, hybrid role based out of our Lower Manhattan, NYC office (2 days per week in person, currently pinned to Tuesdays and Wednesdays)
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Math, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 4+ years of data engineering or backend engineering experience with a focus on pipelines, orchestration, or platform
  • Experience with cloud object storage and data-at-scale (we use AWS and S3, cloud experience is required, but prior AWS experience is not)
  • Comfort with Kubernetes and container-based deployments in practice: running workloads on K8s, resource and volume configuration, and debugging pod/worker issues
  • Ability to own work end-to-end: design, implement, test, and operate pipelines and related tooling. You are comfortable picking up new parts of the stack when needed
More about this role

In the face of rising threats, increasing pressure on affordability, and unprecedented demand for power, Treeswift empowers energy companies to modernize their field work to meet the growth and challenges ahead.

We build physical AI for the field worker: whether on foot or in a vehicle, our technology is an ironman suit for engineers, linemen, and vegetation crews: same worker, same boots on the ground, now operating at 10x productivity. Our platform is powered by cutting edge hardware, sensors (LiDAR, camera, etc…), AI and software designed to revolutionize work in the toughest environments.

Our technology has enabled our customers to reduce wildfire risk, regulatory and outage risk from vegetation, avoid delays and cost overruns in new construction, and accelerate recovery from severe storms.

To tackle this challenge, we are bringing together a team of mission-driven experts with deep industry experience in robotics (Penn, Caltech, CMU) and enterprise software development (Palantir, Stripe, Oracle, MongoDB). We have raised funding from leading investors including Penny Pritzker’s Inspired Capital.

We are headquartered in midtown Manhattan, with additional offices in San...
