Descrição do trabalho

WHO WE ARE

The +ATLANTIC CoLAB is a not-for-profit R&D+I Portuguese Collaborative Laboratory that conceives and provides knowledge-based products and services related to various fields of the blue economy, ocean sustainability, marine science, marine ecosystem health, climate change, ocean literacy, and science communication. Our multidisciplinary team applies numerical modelling, remote sensing, data science, artificial intelligence, and space and ocean technologies to develop such products and services and to partner in national and international projects.

WHO YOU ARE

  • We have two positions open:
  • 2 x Data Scientist and Geospatial Programmer (Junior)

Candidates should hold a master’s degree (Grade 7) and have at least 2 years of experience.

  • Mandatory requirements:
  • Fluent in spoken and written English.
  • Able to work 3 days per week on-site (Lisbon)
  • EU citizenship, or legal residency status, to work from Portugal.
  • 2+ years of experience in software development and data science.
  • Proficient in Python.
  • Good knowledge of version control tools (Git) and CI/CD processes.
  • Knowledge of scientific and statistical programming.
  • Proven experience in building predictive models using statistical data analysis, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence.
  • Familiarity with machine learning algorithms: supervised (SVMs, Random Forest, Logistic Regression, XGBoost), unsupervised (K-means, DBSCAN, etc.), and Deep Learning (CNNs, RNNs, LSTMs, Autoencoders).
  • Experience with data analysis and model development libraries such as Scikit-learn, Scipy, Numpy, Pandas, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and similar.
  • Other requirements will be valued, such as:
  • Experience in developing operational software applications and integrating modules into existing code pipelines will be valued.
  • Experience in the deployment and maintenance of operational Machine Learning models (MLOps) will be valued.
  • Experience with geospatial, climate, or Earth Observation data will be valued, but it is not mandatory.
  • Experience with Linux environments.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

  • You will be involved in various +ATLANTIC R&D activities where AI and Data Science are applied to address urban, climate, and weather-related challenges. For the DATA SCIENTIST & GESOSPATIAL PROGRAMMER positions, this includes:
  • Designing and developing software technology using geospatial data and models, including creating methods, algorithms, models, and solution implementation code in Python.
  • Utilising statistics and machine learning libraries and approaches for data-driven solutions, with a special focus on climate applications.
  • Develop and implement automatic diagnostic systems on geospatial data.
  • Compiling geospatial data and developing prototype statistical and Machine Learning models for predicting climate and weather parameters (e.g., temperature, wind, precipitation), meteo-oceanographic parameters (e.g., water temperature, wave conditions), and environmental parameters (e.g., air quality).
  • Validating the performance of predictive models based on real climate observation data, adhering to performance requirements, and implementing models in production.
  • Implementation and optimization of algorithms for the collection and processing of geospatial data, as well as the maintenance of operational applications.
  • Creating innovative solutions aimed at solving real-world problems related to environmental monitoring and adaptation to climate change.
  • Contribute to the preparation of proposals.

WHAT WE OFFER

For this position, you will join our team in Lisbon, working remotely some days of the week. The salary for this position will be adjusted according to the specific profile and experience demonstrated by the candidates. Additional benefits include health insurance and a daily food allowance.
