Job Description
About Us:
Vortexa is a fast-growing international technology business founded to solve the immense information gap that exists in the energy industry. By using massive amounts of new satellite data and pioneering work in artificial intelligence, Vortexa creates an unprecedented view on the global seaborne energy flows in real-time, bringing transparency and efficiency to the energy markets and society as a whole.
The Role:
Processing thousands of rich data points per second from many and vastly different external sources, moving terabytes of data while processing it in real-time, running complex prediction and forecasting AI models while coupling their output into a hybrid human-machine data refinement process and presenting the result through a nimble low-latency SaaS solution used by customers around the globe is no small feat of science and engineering. This processing requires models that can survive the scrutiny of industry experts, data analysts and traders, with the performance, stability, latency and agility a fast-moving startup influencing multi-$m transactions requires.
The Data Production Team is responsible for all of Vortexa’s data. It ranges from mixing raw satellite data from 600,000 vessels with rich but incomplete text data, to generating high-value forecasts such as the vessel destination, cargo onboard, ship-to-ship transfer detection, dark vessels, congestion, future prices, etc
The team has built a variety of procedural, statistical and machine learning models that enabled us to provide the most accurate and comprehensive view of energy flows. We take pride in applying cutting-edge research to real-world problems in a robust, long-lasting and maintainable way. The quality of our data is continuously benchmarked and assessed by experienced in-house market and data analysts to ensure the quality of our predictions.
You’ll be instrumental in designing and building infrastructure and applications to propel the design, deployment, and benchmarking of existing and new pipelines and ML models. Working with software and data engineers, data scientists and market analysts, you’ll help bridge the gap between scientific experiments and commercial products by ensuring 100% uptime and bulletproof fault-tolerance of every component of the team's data pipelines.
Requirements
You Are:
- Experienced in building and deploying distributed scalable backend data processing pipelines that can go through terabytes of data daily using AWS, K8s, and Airflow.
- With solid software engineering fundamentals, fluent in both Java and Python (with Rust good to have).
- Knowledgeable about data lake systems like Athena, and big data storage formats like Parquet, HDF5, ORC, with a focus on data ingestion.
- Driven by working in an intellectually engaging environment with the top minds in the industry, where constructive and friendly challenges and debates are encouraged, not avoided
- Excited about working in a start-up environment: not afraid of challenges, excited to bring new ideas to production, and a positive can-do will-do person, not afraid to push the boundaries of your job role.
- Passionate about coaching developers, helping them improve their skills and grow their careers
- Deep experience of the full software development life cycle (SDLC), including technical design, coding standards, code review, source control, build, test, deploy, and operations
Awesome If You:
- Have experience with Apache Kafka and streaming frameworks, e.g., Flink,
- Familiar with observability principles such as logging, monitoring, and tracing
- Have experience with web scraping technologies and information extraction.
Benefits
- A vibrant, diverse company pushing ourselves and the technology to deliver beyond the cutting edge

- Constantly learning and exploring new tools and technologies
- Acting as company owners (all Vortexa staff have equity options)– in a business-savvy and responsible way

Project Collaborator, Solar Radiation Management (multiple roles)
Posted 418 days ago
Job Viewed
Job Description
We're seeking expressions of interest from entrepreneurial individuals with deep technical domain expertise and keen interest in developing controllable, and adaptable solar radiation management (SRM) approaches.
About the Opportunity
At Deep Science Ventures, we see SRM as an additional tool to combat global warming - one that will buy us time to implement the emissions abatement and atmospheric removal technologies to align with our long-term climate target. As such, SRM can be seen as a treatment for the symptoms, while we scale solutions which solve the cause. However, solar radiation management or any form of geoengineering comes with large uncertainties and therefore high risks.
We aim to mitigate these risks by developing SRM approaches that are intrinsically controllable, yet still impactful, and adaptable to implement learnings to avoid unintended biophysical and social harm. These collaborator roles are opportunities to shape and define responsible SRM trials and lead by example on best practices to limit global warming.
We’re looking for Collaborators for this opportunity to:
- Initially, co-define an ambitious proposal - currently in process to be submitted for funding approval - for launching responsible and ethical SRM trials (on an ad-hoc, in-kind time commitment basis, roughly 2 hrs/week, starting asap);
- Upon successful approval of funds, co-drive the execution of the trials (on a part-time or full-time consultancy contract basis); and
- Depending on the outcomes of the trials, join DSV’s venture creation programme to co-found a new venture around the trialled SRM approach (full-time consultancy contract).
Requirements
We are looking for candidates with deep technical understanding acquired through a PhD or MSc with 3+ years of relevant experience in industry.
Most suitable candidates will meet one or multiple of the following criteria:
1. Geoengineer / Atmospheric Geochemist / Climatologist
- thorough understanding of climate models and atmospheric chemistry
- strong knowledge of commonly discussed SRM approaches such as SAI, MCB, and CCT
2. Physicist / Mechanical Engineer
- expertise in light-emitting devices and semiconductor technologies
- understanding of optics and the design and manufacturing of hardware solutions
3. Marine Biologist / Oceanographer
- understanding of arctic ecosystems and the formation and melting mechanisms of sea ice
- knowledge about the ocean's role in the planetary heat inventory
Skills & Qualities that define the perfect candidate are:
- extensively thinks about global warming and has a strong ambition to be part of the solution
- highly motivated and self-driven individual
- team player who's capable of working independently
- great communicator
- scientific background with strong first-principle thinking and experience in experimental designs
- experience in building and scaling new technologies from concept to demonstration
Benefits
By joining DSV, you will be part of a team of operators who have founded companies and led the translation of science at some of the most respected universities, charities, funds, and government agencies.
About DSV
Deep Science Ventures is creating a future in which both humans and the planet can thrive.
We use our unique venture creation process to create, spin out and invest in science companies, combining available scientific knowledge and founder-type scientists into high-impact ventures.
We operate in 4 sectors: Pharmaceuticals, Climate, Agriculture and Computation, tackling the challenges defining those areas by taking a first principles approach and partnering with leading institutions.
