Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. blackshark.ai provides a scalable AI platform for extracting real-time geospatial insights from satellite and drone imagery. The Software Engineer will build and evolve the frontend application for AI model training, inference, interactive geospatial visualization, workflow management, and public API tooling across SaaS, cloud, on-premise, and edge deployments.
Responsibilities
- Build and evolve our frontend application that serves as the primary interface for AI model training, inference execution, and results exploration
- Develop rich, interactive map-based visualizations for displaying detection results, segmentation masks, and training data coverage across large geographic areas
- Design intuitive workflows for complex geospatial operations: imagery upload and management, model configuration, inference parameterization, and results export
- Build performant UI components for browsing and interacting with large-scale imagery handling pan, zoom, and overlay rendering for high-resolution satellite and aerial data
- Work closely with backend engineers to integrate with our FastAPI services, designing responsive interfaces that communicate pipeline status, processing progress, and async job results in real time
- Contribute to our public API developer experience, building documentation portals and interactive tooling for external integrators
- Ensure the application works reliably across a variety of deployment contexts. We run our platform as SaaS, single-tenant cloud, on-premise, and on edge laptops in the field
