\nSenior QA/Automation Engineer \n\n\nAbout Global Fishing Watch\n\nGlobal Fishing Watch (GFW) is an independent, international non-profit organization that advances the sustainability and stewardship of the ocean by offering, for free, data and near real-time tracking of commercial fishing activity. We also support new science and research and we engage with governments, management organizations, and NGOs to advance the global dialogue on ocean transparency. \n\n\n\nGFW processes a global database of vessel GPS positions, several terabytes in size, and applies machine learning models that infer each vessel’s type and size as well as when they are likely fishing. GFW is now developing new models, both on these GPS positions and on satellite imagery, to fully reveal activity in the world's oceans. These models include object detection from global feeds of satellite radar and optical imagery, and models that infer, based on vessel behavior, illegal activity, and unreported catch. We believe that these new models have the potential to dramatically change the way we monitor and manage the world’s oceans.\n\n\nGFW's goal is to offer all datasets for free and develop tools to help users navigate those datasets, through a variety of products featuring high impact visuals and intuitive user interfaces.\n\n\nWho we are looking for\n\nGlobal Fishing Watch is seeking to add a QA automation engineer to enable us to boost the production, improvement and maintenance of all of our products both front-end and back-end.
