TerraSense Analytics Ltd Hiring for Senior DevOps Specialist at Kelowna, BC Full Time

CATCHY INTRO

Alright, take two on this job posting! We headed back to the drawing board to brainstorm how we can find an authentic, hard-working individual and we have decided to up the stakes. This position (and the rest of the company) received a pay bump in order to maintain market competitiveness in this rapidly evolving industry that we all know and love. We really value our employees and like to show our appreciation through transparency and authenticity to our core. Great to see you’ve made it this far, now if you want to know more about what your day would look like at TerraSense, keep reading!

WHY WORK WITH US?*

Our two main products target the Utilities and Defense sectors. Besides understanding how to use machine learning to predict maintenance for transmission lines, or how to take the metadata from two sensors and fuse them together, we actually do appreciate the soft skills too. We strive to foster a culture of success, innovation, respect, and did we mention authenticity? That’s right, if you hate what the CTO is saying, we fully expect you to step up and tell him he’s wrong (or that you disagree). The Product Manager does all the time and she still hasn’t been fired.

WHAT YOU WOULD BE DOING…*

…on the development team for our MIST product, working to create and deploy aerial surveillance with artificial intelligence. The product will utilize edge computing, computer vision and deep learning algorithms. As a Senior developer, you will bring your experience and expertise to support one or more of our scrums to build and refine our sensor integrations, real-time data processing, data fusion algorithms, and/or software integrations. You will use your Python / C(++) skills to develop, maintain, optimize, and document MIST code while mentoring your peers and supporting junior developers. You will contribute to our ongoing efforts to build high-functioning DevSecOps and MLOps pipelines, building and enhancing the tools and systems we use to make deployable AI software.

Okay so we hope that you got this far and are slightly intrigued by our culture and what you would be doing. Here comes the hard part. This role requires you to be a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident having resided in Canada for at least 10 years as well as a criminal record and credit check. You will be required to work locally with flexibility on work hours. These are hard requirements with no negotiation, so please do not apply to this particular role if you don’t meet these requirements. We will have other roles that come up without such stringent requirements, but there is no wiggle room on this one.
