Description

Remote (U.S. time zones preferred) Type: Part-time (approx. 10-15 hours/week. This has the potential to increase in the future.)

About the role

We’re looking for a hands-on operator to run a daily workflow that turns state oil & gas well-permit data into actionable satellite-image insights for our customers. You’ll help manage processes that ingest state data, fetch imagery for those locations, perform QC to categorize pad activity, correct bounding-box issues, publish updates to customers, and troubleshoot any issues that may come up along the way.

What you’ll do

  • Run and monitor the daily pipeline that ingests state O&G well-permit data.
  • Fetch satellite imagery for permitted locations.
  • Perform visual QC and categorize activity on well pads (e.g., drilling, fracking, inactive).
  • Fix/adjust bounding boxes that are misaligned or overlapping.
  • Troubleshoot errors and escalate issues where necessary.
  • Communicate status and blockers across teams; hand-off cleanly across days.

Minimum/desired qualifications

1–3 years in data operations or similar production workflows. Experience command-line interfaces (you'll run already created Python scripts, not do anything actually programming-related) Familiarity with satellite imagery concepts. Experience doing QC with careful attention to detail. Experience reading logs to diagnose and troubleshoot failures. Strong written communication and organized handoffs; reliable daily availability. Able to follow documentation; proactive about edge cases and ambiguity.
