Company Overview:
At Atlas AI, we are pioneering the use of advanced geospatial data and AI to
tackle some of the most pressing challenges of our time. Our mission is to
empower organizations to adapt and thrive amidst changing global forces such
as climate change. We provide a cutting-edge data science platform that offers
a living map of population, wealth, climate, and economic development trends
worldwide. This enables organizations to harness real-time data to build
geospatial AI models, guiding investment decisions and fostering resilience in
an uncertain future.
Our technology addresses two critical gaps: the lack of granular, up-to-date
information on local development trends, and the difficulty most organizations
face in building predictive models with geospatial data. By seamlessly
integrating these capabilities into enterprise workflows, Atlas AI helps
organizations navigate climate uncertainty, support vulnerable communities,
optimize supply chains, and target investments with precision. Our customers
have leveraged our platform to accelerate solar market adoption, forecast
demand for climate adaptation solutions, and enhance nutrition supply chains
in climate-vulnerable regions.
Why Join Us:
At Atlas AI, you'll be part of a dynamic team dedicated to making a tangible
impact on the world. We bring together world-class scientific leadership in AI
with top-notch engineering and data science disciplines to build rigorous,
scalable systems for large enterprise customers. Our collaborative environment
fosters innovation and empowers you to work on groundbreaking projects that
drive real change, from advancing sustainable energy solutions to optimizing
global supply chains for vulnerable communities.
We are a highly values-driven organization, guided by our core principles of
Integrity, Innovation, Impact, Collaboration, and Empowerment. If you are
passionate about using technology to solve critical global challenges and are
eager to contribute to a mission-driven company, Atlas AI is the place for
you. Join us and be at the forefront of innovation, helping to build a more
resilient and equitable future.
