Digital Earth is building a world-class data, information and community platform for the International energy industry. This industry represents 3 to 5% of the global economy but is still relatively untouched by already proven Web 2.0 search and collaboration technologies. The Digital Earth platform will be based on open source software to provide a truly global platform to better access industry-relevant content. For more information see: www.digital-earth.com .
Your challenge, as a Digital Earth employee, will be to deal with the huge amounts of industry data stored with academic institutions, government organizations, commercial data vendors and national data repositories while at the same time building algorithms and data intelligence to crawl, categorize and geospatially categorize the unstructured web of information on the internet (as well as proprietary intranet networks). This combination of structured energy data, vertical-specific internet search, and user-generated content will become the definitive repository of energy sector information.
Who are we looking for? Potential team members who:
- Embrace the varied challenges and experiences of working in a start-up;
- Are self-starting and independent, but also contributing members of the team;
- Enjoy working with others from non-technical and varied backgrounds.
- Are very flexible, and who take ownership of any task that may present itself from the mundane to the exotic; and,
- Are willing to occasionally travel (e.g. for meetings with other team-members, partners or clients in US, UK, Norway, India and China)
