What is a Senior Image Curator?

A Senior Image Curator is a professional responsible for sourcing, organizing, and managing collections of images for organizations such as museums, galleries, media companies, or digital platforms. They oversee the acquisition, cataloging, and preservation of visual assets, ensuring that images are accurately described and properly stored. Senior Image Curators may also develop and implement strategies for digital archiving, rights management, and public exhibitions. They often lead teams, collaborate with artists or photographers, and ensure the quality and relevance of image collections. Their expertise helps organizations maintain visually compelling and accessible image libraries.

To thrive as a Senior Image Curator, you need expertise in visual arts, strong organizational skills, and a background in art history or a related field, often supported by a relevant degree. Familiarity with digital asset management systems, copyright protocols, and image editing tools like Adobe Photoshop is typically required. Attention to detail, creativity, and effective communication are vital soft skills for collaborating with artists, stakeholders, and team members. These skills ensure the effective selection, organization, and presentation of images that align with brand or institutional goals and legal standards.

What are common challenges faced by Senior Image Curators when managing large digital image collections?

Senior Image Curators often encounter challenges such as ensuring consistent metadata across vast collections, navigating copyright and licensing considerations, and keeping up with evolving digital asset management technologies. Balancing the aesthetic and thematic goals of a collection with institutional or client requirements can also be complex. Additionally, collaborating with cross-functional teams—such as archivists, designers, and IT professionals—requires strong communication and project management skills to ensure seamless integration and accessibility of image assets.

Job description

What Impact You'll Have

GRVTY is seeking a motivated and experienced imagery scientist to provide geospatial and imagery expertise and quantitative analysis to make recommendations that improve data curation and development in support of Machine Learning algorithm testing and evaluation.  The ideal candidate is an expert imagery scientist with a passion for advanced scientific problem solving, imagery exploitation, and operational intelligence support. This role will drive solutions informed by specific phenomenology limitations and advantages of the sensors and platforms in mind.

What You'll be Owning

  • Assist the EO lead in conducting assessment of potential differences between new sensor characteristics and capabilities compared to currently utilized platforms
  • Assess potential differences in metadata, data format, and data structure characteristics in regard to changes to databases, schemas, APis, and other ETL related processes for the ingestion and movement of data when integrating into the existing data operations pipeline
  • Determine how to acquire new data, potential latency associated with acquisition, data formats, and security domains
  • Determine how to pre-process and standardize the data to match existing data standards or to be transformed into a usable state for labeling and model testing purposes. This may involve converting between file format types or tiling full-size images into specified sizes or geospatial bounds.

What You Must Have

  • Active TS/SCI Clearance with the ability to obtain a CI/Poly
  • 4+ years of expert EO imagery exploitation and imagery science experience with understanding of collection, phenomenology, image formation process, and exploitation products.
  • Demonstrated experience in:
    • EO collection systems
    • Remote sensing phenomenology
    • Image formation processes
    • Exploitation products and methodologies
  • Experience exploiting EO imagery to:
    • Detect
    • Identify
    • Locate objects of interest
  • Experience developing and evaluating:
    • Algorithms
    • Scientific workflows
    • Exploitation methodologies
  • Experience automating scientific processing workflows
  • Experience developing and evaluating:
    • Algorithms
    • Automated workflows
    • Scientific exploitation methods
  • Understanding of:
    • Remote sensing principles
    • EO imagery processing
    • Advanced exploitation methods
    • Sensor/platform limitations and advantages
  • Proven ability to communicate technical concepts to:
    • Technical audiences
    • Non-technical stakeholders
    • Intelligence users

What Would be Nice to Have

  • Experience applying CV and machine learning (ML) techniques to EO imagery and data to address intelligence problems
