We build and develop best-in-class all domain and globally focused situational awareness capabilities, including THRESHER and DRAGONSPELL, that process petabytes of data from numerous streaming data sources in near real time.

We always want to do more, and that's where you come in! GA-I3 is looking for a Software Engineer to join our federal team to develop scalable, high-performant cloud-based computer vision systems focused on the automated detection of objects in satellite imagery.
