Apollo Agriculture is using satellite data to help bring modern farming to the worlds poorest farmers. Millions of farmers globally don't have access to the basic farm tools the rest of the world depends on for food production (good seed and fertilizer.) We sell these proven agricultural tools on credit, and use satellite data and ML to figure out who we can lend to profitably.
We are looking for a data scientist that can immediately provide excellent analytical contributions and wants to develop engineering skills. Our data science code is primarily Python(NumPy/Pandas/sklearn), though we're happy to have people with strong skills in R or similar. The rest of our stack is in Scala, React, and PostgreSQL. We're entering our third year and we can't keep up with the demand from smallholder farmers.
To apply, send our head of data science an email at dillon@apolloagriculture.com . (I'm earl@apolloagriculture.com if you just want to chat.)
