We require a few unique and talented developers to join our team at Tesera! Each day you will build applications in collaboration with our team of developers, designers and data scientists while having more time to pursue your passions. You will work remotely, have flexible work hours and do meaningful projects. You will help to support our purpose and values. You will be working using our current development stack which includes Nodejs, AngularJS, React, Python, R, Postgresql, Github, Codeship and Amazon Web Services (we use Elastic Beanstalk, S3, Elastic Container Service, Lambda and others in our applications). We pride ourselves in learning new technologies and applying that learning to improve the products we create for ourselves and our clients. Does this sound like the job for you?.
WHAT WE DO:
Tesera is an emerging technology company focusing on three business lines. We work remotely and try to have some fun while we are at it. Our primary business lines are as follows:
Professional Services has always been a focus for Tesera. We help our clients implement interesting projects in areas such as open data, data management through visualization and analysis, data science, commercial product development and geospatial solutions. In the past year our Professional Services teams have completed a variety of projects including building the SaaS platform for an award winning energy services asset management startup, building a set of citizen science mobile monitoring apps, modelling climate scenarios across the prairies, building a new way to share environmental monitoring data, building a sophisticated automated data quality control pipeline for the forest sector. Our Professional Services line keeps us connected to our clients, learning new things, and keeps our skills razor sharp.
Our second business line is in the adaption to climate change space. Tesera has worked with a key industry associations to build a risk assessment tool that will support and assist municipalities in discovering asset vulnerabilities. Tesera is commercializing this product which employs a spatial machine learning approach. We break the landscape down into thousands of spatial indicators which can then be modeled to determine their influence on event outcomes such as infrastructure failures. We have a lot of work to do here to bring this to a commercial product offering and we are very excited about doing it.
High Resolution Inventory Service (HRIS) is our third business area. HRIS enables our clients who manage landscapes to have a higher level of resolution and accuracy that they’ve ever had before. HRIS uses Airborne Laser Scanning, colour infrared Imagery, climate and terrain Indices and ground plot data which are leveraged via machine learning processes to predict attributes about the landscape. The types of information that can be generated from HRIS are far-ranging from types and quality of timber resources to locations of streams, potential wildlife habitat and amount of carbon sequestration. The HRIS solution, creates attributes across an entire landscape creating an inventory that has more useful attributes and is at a more detailed resolution than other approaches available today.
