Description
Are you an experienced geospatial professional eager to shape the future of AI? We’re developing a geospatial reasoning agent focused on Crisis Response—helping AI systems understand, assess, and predict real-world events where data is uncertain or incomplete. Your expertise will guide model development and evaluation, laying the foundation for future geospatial reasoning and forecasting applications.
We’re looking for experts with deep experience in geospatial analysis, crisis response, or related domains such as damage assessment, agriculture, site selection, supply chain optimization, or forecasting. You’ll evaluate AI-generated outputs, identify analytical weaknesses, and design metrics and test cases that advance model understanding and predictive accuracy.
On a typical day, you’ll review geospatial scenarios, validate model outputs, define and refine reasoning frameworks, and collaborate with our team to improve data-driven evaluations.
Ideal candidates bring professional experience in geospatial analysis, GIS systems, or spatial modeling within industries such as crisis management, logistics, or environmental planning. Proficiency with geospatial tools and libraries (e.g., QGIS, ArcGIS, GDAL, PostGIS) is preferred. Strong reasoning, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex spatial relationships clearly are essential.
Ready to apply your geospatial expertise to the frontier of AI? Apply today and help design intelligent systems capable of supporting real-time global decision-making.
We offer a pay range of $24 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer amounts may vary from the pay range listed above. As a contractor, you’ll supply a secure computer and high-speed internet connection; company-sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.

About this role
Meridial is building AI systems that reason about geospatial data under real-world constraints—incomplete information, uncertainty, and time pressure in crisis scenarios. As a senior geospatial specialist, you'd be central to that effort: evaluating how well the AI understands and predicts spatial events, identifying where its reasoning breaks down, and designing the test cases and metrics that push the model toward genuine analytical capability. This isn't a traditional training role; it's hands-on expert work that directly shapes model development.
Your background would likely span crisis response, damage assessment, logistics, agriculture, or environmental planning—work where you've applied GIS tools like QGIS, ArcGIS, or PostGIS to solve spatial problems. On any given day you'd review geospatial scenarios, validate model outputs, refine reasoning frameworks, and communicate complex spatial relationships to a technical team. The role demands strong analytical judgment, precision, and the ability to articulate why a model's spatial reasoning is sound or flawed.
This is a freelance position based in South Africa, in-office, at $24 per hour (adjusted for your experience and location). You'll need to provide your own computer and internet; contractor benefits like health insurance and PTO don't apply. The work is project-based rather than permanent employment.
