Description
Conservation Metrics is a small, mission-driven company co-creating an open-source data platform designed to support territorial monitoring and Indigenous data sovereignty. It combines remote sensing products (maps, alerts, and change detection), mobile data collection tools, secure data warehousing, and governed data access to allow Indigenous communities to explore, analyze, and summarize their information. Lead position: You will own architecture and data infrastructure. You will work across engineering and partner-facing teams to build systems that support Indigenous data sovereignty, secure collaboration, and long-term stewardship of community data. We are looking for someone who can work through hard technical trade-offs and commit.
