Clients order high-resolution site imagery, thermal inspections, and 3D data through our platform; our pilot network captures it; and our processing and vision-model pipeline turns raw imagery into structured, georeferenced answers — often within hours. We run our own hardware end to end: capture fleets in the field, GPU processing clusters we built ourselves, and deployments that span public cloud, our own data centers, and secure on-prem environments inside client facilities.We're growing fast across every region we operate in, and we're hiring people who want to help scale systems and operations that already work — and make them work at ten times the volume.## The roleOur DACH operation supports utilities, manufacturing, and energy clients with recurring monitoring and inspection programs.
