AI Engineer [Remote Sensing x AI Image Analysis x GIS / Construction DX]

Skymatix's mission is to "create a new society with remote sensing," and we are solving on-site challenges in surveying, inspection, and measurement across a wide range of industries such as construction, forestry, infrastructure, and disaster prevention. In these industries, labor shortages, long working hours, and the increasing need to respond to disasters are social issues, and many tasks and operations are still categorized as the so-called "3K" (Kitsui - demanding, Kiken - dangerous, Kitanai - dirty). We aim to solve these social issues with remote sensing technology and transform workers' jobs into the "4K" (Kaiteki - comfortable, Koritsuteki - efficient, Koinsho - good impression, Koshunyu - high income). "Kumiki", our flagship product launched in 2018 and the first cloud-based drone surveying service developed in Japan, has rapidly grown into the No. 1 product in the domestic industry and is now expanding overseas. It supports DX promotion in diverse fields worldwide, including the construction industry, and has the potential to significantly impact future society. By engaging in our remote sensing services utilizing "Kumiki", you will experience work of great social significance and realize the impact of your achievements on society as a whole. Furthermore, by working in a challenging growth phase environment, you can grow personally along with our company's growth. You can lead your career to new heights by tackling difficulties, aiming for the top, and experiencing personal growth. "Changing the future of industries with data acquired from the sky" Skymatix is a startup that utilizes remote sensing technology to solve on-site challenges in construction, agriculture, and disaster prevention. We are promoting DX centered on "Kumiki", Japan's No. 1 cloud-based drone surveying service. We are recruiting AI engineers who aspire to provide high value to customers in a rapidly growing market! ■ Job Description Conduct AI-related development in the 3D reconstruction processing provided by our cloud-based drone surveying service "Kumiki" and related services. You will be responsible for designing and implementing features centered on object detection and Gaussian Splatting, providing high-value results to customers through "Kumiki". ■ Specific Job Responsibilities Planning and Development of New Features: Design and implement AI-related features that enhance the accuracy, practicality, and aesthetic appeal of 3D reconstruction results (e.g., detecting signs in images and linking them to survey point coordinates). Improvement of Existing Features and Learning Models: Continuously improve features based on feedback from customers and internal teams, and retrain models as necessary. Technology Evaluation and Research: Evaluate and introduce the latest AI-related technologies and libraries into products. Collaboration with Internal and External Teams: Collaborate with team members with specialized expertise and the web team responsible for data provision through cloud services to improve overall product quality. ■ Position Appeal Contribution to Social Issues: Transform challenging, dirty, and dangerous (3K) workplaces, exacerbated by the declining birthrate and aging population, into comfortable and efficient (4K) environments. Your AI skill will change construction and disaster prevention sites. Technical Challenges: Thoroughly pursue the enhancement of 3D reconstruction models obtained from drone surveying using AI image processing libraries (OpenCV, PyTorch, etc.). You can freely use our in-house GPU servers! Growth to Senior Engineer: While leveraging your strengths as an AI engineer, if you wish, you can actively engage in areas such as 3D reconstruction processing itself, speeding up various processes, and managing in-house GPU servers (Linux). This is an environment where you can act with discretion as an engineer who "advances the product" rather than having a "limited role." Startup Discretion: A flat team of about 10 people where you can bring ideas to fruition. We encourage sharing through technical blogs and conferences! ■ Advantages of Working at Skymatix Discretion and Growth: Participate from planning to operation, expanding your skills into a wide range of fields. Opportunities for writing and presenting papers, and career paths to leadership are also available! Open Culture: A flat organization where you can easily discuss with the CEO. You can share your knowledge through technical blogs (note) and study sessions. Flexible Work Style: Fully remote with occasional office visits required (about once every few months), flextime system (core time 11:00-15:00). Emphasis on work-life balance. Benefits: Book purchase assistance, study session participation support, latest PC/Mac provided, stock option system available. ■ Tech Stack & Environment Languages and extensions: Python, C++, OpenMP, CUDA AI related libraries: OpenCV (YOLO), PyTorch (MMSegmentation) Other major libraries: NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn, GDAL, Shapely, Numba Cloud infrastructure: AWS Task management: GitHub Development tools: CodeRabbit, Cursor, Devin, Docker ----------------------- ▼Kumiki https://smx-kumiki.com/ ▼Corporate Website　 https://skymatix.co.jp/ ▼Company Overview https://speakerdeck.com/skymatix1111/company-profile ▼Skymatix note https://note.com/skymatix
