AI-powered geospatial object detection and 3D Earth simulation
Blackshark.ai operates a geospatial AI platform built on PyTorch, GDAL, and Unreal Engine, combining satellite imagery processing with synthetic 3D world generation. The engineering-heavy hiring focus and active project list around vision model training, ML orchestration, and GPU inference services reflect their core challenge: scaling image processing and inference across planet-scale data while optimizing memory-bound operations.
Blackshark.ai develops AI and 3D geospatial products for aerospace, defense, autonomous systems, and smart-city applications. Their platform has two main surfaces: a no-code AI model training environment for object detection and classification on satellite imagery, and a global 3D digital twin of Earth built from satellite and aerial data with semantic overlays (terrain, buildings, vegetation, infrastructure). The company operates out of Graz, Austria, with active hiring across Austria and the United States.
PyTorch, Python, GDAL, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, FastAPI, Docker, AWS, Unreal Engine, C++, and geospatial libraries including OpenLayers, QGIS, and ArcGIS for visualization and data handling.
Building vision models for geospatial object detection (buildings, roads, vegetation); developing ML orchestration and GPU inference pipelines; automating data preprocessing for satellite imagery; and creating preprocessing/postprocessing services for model outputs.
Austria and the United States. Active roles are concentrated in engineering (5), data (2), operations (1), and research (1), with a mid-to-senior profile.
