Job description
OUR VISION
At EarthDaily Analytics (EDA), we strive to build a more sustainable planet by creating innovative solutions that combine satellite imagery of the Earth, modern software engineering, machine learning, and cloud computing to solve the toughest challenges in agriculture, water management, carbon-capture verification and more.
EDA’s signature Earth Observation mission, the EarthDaily Constellation, is currently under construction. Once operational in 2026, the EarthDaily will be the most powerful global change detection and change monitoring system ever developed, capable of generating unprecedented predictive analytics and insights. The EarthDaily Constellation will combine with the EarthPipeline data processing system to provide unprecedented, scientific-grade data of the world every day, positioning EDA to meet the growing needs of diverse industries.
OUR TEAM
Our global, enterprise-wide team represents a variety of business lines and is made up of sales, marketing and support professionals, data scientists, software engineers, project managers and finance, HR, and IT professionals.
READY TO LAUNCH?
Do you want to work in the space industry and provide hands on support to the day-to-day IT operations of a global company? Do you have experience providing end user support and ensuring business continuity to a mid-size global organization? We want to hear from you! Space geeks and innovators are always encouraged to apply!
PREPARE FOR IMPACT!
Reporting to the Director of IT, the IT Systems Administrator will play a critical role in managing and maintaining the corporate IT infrastructure, including systems, networks, and endpoints, while primarily supporting employees and contractors across the Americas. The Systems Administrator will serve as the primary contact for IT operations in the region, excelling in both reactive support and proactive project management. This is a Minnesota based position which requires occasional on-site work (incumbent must be within commuting distance of our Maple Grove office).
Key responsibilities include:
Base Salary Range: $75,000-$95,000 USD annually
The range above depends on job-related skills, experience, training, education, location and business needs. The range is based on Minnesota-derived compensation for this role. It is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range for their role. Only in rare and exceptional circumstances, when a candidate has the experience, skills, and expertise to exceed those required for the position, would we consider paying at the top of the range for this role.
OUR SPACE
We’d love to welcome you to our world of software for space. We have a shared passion for building production critical systems that generate near real-time views of Earth from satellites that power real-world applications like disaster mitigation, environmental monitoring and crop yield improvements. It’s a fun, fast paced, exciting environment where we hold innovation, teamwork, honesty and trust as our core values.
To make the most innovative products that serve our customers, we recognize the role that each of us plays in Diversity and Inclusion at EarthDaily. We draw from our diverse crew of exceptional team members and encourage and empower our team members to express themselves regardless of identity, race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, religion, marital status, family status, physical or mental disability, sex, sexual orientation and gender identity or expression.
