Thermal satellite intelligence for agricultural water management
Hydrosat applies thermal infrared satellite data and machine learning to optimize water use in agriculture. The stack—PyTorch, TensorFlow, AWS/GCP/Azure, Airflow, Kubernetes—reflects a data-intensive, cloud-native operation built for processing high-volume geospatial imagery. The engineering-heavy hiring (9 roles) alongside dedicated data (6) and research (3) teams indicates active scaling of model deployment and pipeline infrastructure, especially given repeated pain points around real-time analytics pipelines, ML model production readiness, and satellite automation.
Hydrosat operates a geospatial intelligence platform built on thermal satellite imagery and AI, targeting food production, agricultural security, and natural resource management. The company serves agricultural and government stakeholders with earth observation products. Their technical footprint spans satellite operations (tasking automation, full-stack services), ML model development (image classification, segmentation, data fusion), and domain-specific modeling (evapotranspiration, crop water stress, surface energy balance). Operations span the United States, Luxembourg, Netherlands, and Kazakhstan, with active field campaign planning through 2026.
Core ML: PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn. Cloud: AWS, GCP, Azure. Data: Apache Airflow, GDAL, Rasterio. Orchestration: Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform. CI/CD: GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Jenkins. Observability: Grafana, Datadog, CloudWatch, Prometheus.
Cloud infrastructure for large-scale data pipelines, ML models for image classification and segmentation, evapotranspiration and crop water stress modeling, satellite tasking automation, ML model production deployment, and 2026 field campaign execution.
