Employee
Data Scientist
Join us in the global movement for climate action through data-driven soil carbon sequestration. Soils are the unsung hero in the fight against climate change. With your help we want to uncover and use this secret. As data engineer at Seqana you will acquire and harmonize data on soils to unlock the potential of soil carbon sequestration for climate protection.
About Seqana:
Seqana is an EU- and venture-backed start-up building monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) tools to drive soil carbon sequestration and the transition towards regenerative and climate-preserving agriculture.
One of the most powerful (and underutilized) solutions to climate change is capturing carbon in soils via regenerative agricultural practices. This approach has the potential for several times more climate impact than planting forests, while also providing extensive co-benefits such as erosion mitigation and improved water quality, food security, and biodiversity.
Tasks
Our growing team is looking for an ambitious and driven soil data scientist to help us quantify soil organic carbon and its sequestration by using better data. You will play a crucial part in ensuring and improving the quality of soil data we work with, and the accuracy of the statistical models derived from it. Your work will directly contribute to the advancement of our MRV and sampling tools, helping to drive effective climate solutions through innovative technology.
We're looking for someone who brings a deep understanding in soil science, an analytical mindset, and data science skills. You will be part of a passionate team that aims to have a direct positive impact on the world. We value proactivity, authenticity, creativity, and empathy in our company culture.
Impact you’ll own:
- Manage the onboarding of new datasets and implement rigorous data quality processes
- Apply a soil science perspective and ensure that our data pipelines and modeling approaches are grounded in a deep understanding of soil processes and dynamics
- Standardize our data discovery, acquisition, and harmonization processes
- Develop analytical data models and dashboards to serve the needs of insights and analytics
- Collaborate with stakeholders across the company to constantly optimize the data infrastructure and associated processes
Requirements
What you bring:
- A track record of research in soil science, particularly in SOC and its implications for climate change and agricultural land management
- 2-4 years of experience in data science roles or equivalent, with a strong foundation in statistical analysis
- Proficiency in Python and SQL - with experience in automating data processing and conducting data analyses
- Experience with soil sampling methods, laboratory analysis techniques, and understanding of SOC measurement best practices and standards
- Ability to work and communicate effectively in an agile, fast-paced startup environment
- A proactive, can-do attitude with the ability to quickly adapt, learn, and embrace change
- Passion for environmental sustainability and climate tech
What makes you stand out:
- Bonus: Knowledge of leading voluntary carbon standards and methodologies, e.g. VCS, Gold Standard or CAR
- Bonus: Experience in carbon statistical modeling or process-based models such as Century, RothC, or DNDC
- Bonus: Experience with machine learning, including model training and evaluation, is a big plus
Benefits
Benefits you can expect:
- Be part of our highly motivated, committed, and international team with flat hierarchies that is working on solving one of societies’ biggest challenges: Climate Change
- Witness and shape the evolution of a new business being built
- Collaborative DevOps culture with opportunities for continuous learning and improvement
- Work in a casual environment with flexible hours and some ability to work from home
- Competitive salary, benefits, and compensation package
- Drinks, snacks, team events, and your choice of hardware
