About the job

The ocean covers 70% of the planet, yet we understand it less than we understand the moon. Seascape is closing that gap. We turn satellite radar imagery into precise intelligence on sea conditions, maritime activity and environmental change, and we build the hardware that helps search and rescue teams find people lost at sea.
