Solutions Engineer

Apply your engineering skills to combat global warming and become part of the global movement for climate action.

About Seqana:

Seqana is a start-up building digital monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) tools using remote sensing and AI to drive soil carbon sequestration and support the transition towards regenerative, climate-preserving agriculture at scale. We are backed by venture capital investors and supported by public funding from ESA and DLR.

Capturing carbon in soils through regenerative agricultural practices is a powerful and still underutilized solution to climate change, with significant co-benefits including improved soil health, water quality, food security, and biodiversity.

Existing MRV solutions for soil carbon are a major driver of cost and complexity in carbon projects and often limit scalability. At Seqana, we combine satellite imagery, an extensive proprietary library of soil datasets, and machine learning to deliver an accurate, cost-effective, and scalable MRV solution for soil organic carbon. Our product enables project developers, agrifood corporations, NGOs, and government entities to credibly measure, quantify, and report the climate impact of regenerative agricultural practices.

The Role:

Our growing team is looking for an experienced Solutions Engineer to help us design, develop, and deliver high-quality and high-value products to our clients and internal stakeholders. As a Solutions Engineer, you will work at the nexus of the tech, product and business development teams to understand client pain points, communicate effectively with diverse internal and external stakeholders, design and develop solutions using our technology and machine learning models, and implement those solutions in ways that are useful and understandable to clients and collaborators. You will manage time-sensitive client projects and their internal documentation, contribute to the development of our key solutions and conduct critical analyses for internal Seqana stakeholders to inform strategic decisions.

We're looking for someone who brings extensive experience in geospatial programming, a good understanding of machine learning and statistics, a proactive and analytical mindset, and is skilled in cross-functional teamwork and communication. You will be part of a passionate team that aims to have a direct positive impact on the world. We value proactivity, authenticity, empathy and solution-mindset in our company culture.
