Introduction Echo Labs is building a scientific, and technical foundation for ecological intelligence: a multimodal system to measure, model, and forecast Ecosystem Condition as a dynamic property. We are a collaborative and interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers engaged in a planetary moonshot - with a public good mission, operating like a start up. We are a new Focused Research Organization (FRO) supported by Convergent Research and funded by the Advanced Research and Invention Agency to pursue high-risk, high-reward science in the public interest. About this role Echo Labs is seeking a Director of Modelling to design and build the data pipelines and modelling infrastructure that translate raw ecological signals into testable models of ecosystem condition. You will help turn ecological hypotheses into experiments, experiments into validated models, and validated models into decision-grade outputs. As we explore what is possible with new measures and representations of ecosystem state, you will be responsible for evaluating progress. You will help define success in a system that is complex to model using results that are challenging to interpret. This role reports to the Chief Technology Officer and works in close partnership with the Chief Science Officer. This is a rare opportunity to architect the conceptual and technical frameworks that define how ecosystems are measured and modelled. Core Responsibilities Experiment design & strategy: Design experiments that isolate signal from noise in ecological data, and design tests that can increment progress forward when results are ambiguous. Work with the CTO to prioritize intermediate outputs, publication opportunities, and risks. Work iteratively with the CSO to test and refine modelling approaches and uncertainty quantification that can be interpreted in ecological context. Define a standardization strategy that ensures model comparability across ecosystems and geographies. Research execution: Translate ecological hypotheses from the CSO into testable ML experiments. Implement, train, and evaluate models that characterise ecosystem condition across multiple measurement modalities. This will range from implementing classic machine learning to fine-tuning modern deep learning models. Contribute to research outputs: white papers, technical documentation, and peer-reviewed publications. Maintain infrastructure: Working with a growing team under your management, you will develop and maintain the technical stack to ensure reproducible, rapid experimentation. Team and growth: Work with the leadership team to hire and lead additional engineers and data scientists. Evaluate and communicate needs and opportunities to creatively accelerate progress. Establish technical standards, code review practices, and documentation norms. Profile (You Have) 8+ years in machine learning, data engineering, or applied research with end-to-end system ownership. Track record with machine learning infrastructure and experiment tracking, model versioning, reproducible pipelines. Experience with multimodal data. At minimum two of time-series sensor data, audio/acoustic data, imagery, or geospatial/remote sensing. Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or GCP) and MLOps tooling. Demonstrated ability to scope problems, make architectural decisions, and deliver without close supervision. Strong scientific communication. You have the ability to explain technical choices across domains and document work for reproducibility. Highly Valued Experience Background in ecology, environmental science, Earth observation, or prior work with ecological datasets. Prior work with bioacoustic data, eDNA, or biodiversity monitoring systems. Experience hiring and managing technical teams at early-stage organizations. Contributions to open-source ML or scientific software projects. Progression In the first six months, you'll help deliver an architecture for Echo's modeling platform. Core data pipelines will be operational using previously-generated datasets. First experiments are running to explore how ecosystem condition can be characterized across dimensions of ecosystem condition defined in conjunction with the CSO and integrating feedback from expert workshops. Initial technical documentation and reproducibility standards in place. You have an idea of what first major research outputs (white papers or publications) will be and how to communicate them. Hiring plan for technical team defined. Outro We're bringing together top talent from academia, industry, and startups to build a new model for innovative R&D. We are committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. We believe in hiring individuals based on their unique talents-not on race, color, religion, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law or our company policies. We are more than a proud Equal Employment Opportunity employer. Our goal is to foster a healthy, safe, and respectful environment where all employees are valued and treated with dignity. 145000 - 168000 GBP a year Title commensurate with experience: Senior Director / Chief Technology Officer possible.
