Cloud-based seismic monitoring platform and instrumentation for natural and induced earthquakes
Nanometrics operates a global seismic monitoring network spanning 90+ countries, combining hardware instrumentation, cloud data acquisition, and real-time analytics. The tech stack—Rust, Java, Kubernetes, Python, AWS infrastructure—reveals a modern cloud-native architecture, while active projects around AI-driven early warning and legacy codebase migration signal a shift from on-premise networks toward cloud-scalable data platforms. Hiring is broad across engineering, research, and ops, reflecting infrastructure maturity challenges at scale.
Nanometrics designs and operates integrated seismic monitoring solutions for scientific institutions, geological surveys, and energy producers. The company provides turnkey seismic networks, precision instrumentation (seismometers, accelerometers, digitizers), real-time data processing, and cloud-hosted analytics—serving both natural earthquake detection and induced seismicity monitoring for oil and gas operations. With 30+ years of operating experience and a 24/7 cloud data center, Nanometrics counts itself among the world's largest seismic network operators. The company maintains offices in Canada (headquarters in Kanata, Ontario; additional hub in Calgary), China, and the United States.
Nanometrics runs on Rust, Java, Python, C++, Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS (RDS, Lambda, CloudFront, VPC, IAM). Data pipeline tools include Grafana, Nagios, and Argo CD. Frontend uses Angular and TypeScript. SAP handles enterprise systems.
Active projects include a next-generation seismic data platform, AI-driven early warning systems, cloud-based earth data acquisition solutions, and customer support tooling. The company is also migrating legacy codebase to next-generation architecture.
