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.
