Senior Data Product Manager

About Seqana

Seqana is a start-up building digital monitoring reporting and verification (MRV) tools using remote sensing and AI to drive soil carbon sequestration and support the transition towards regenerative climate-preserving agriculture at scale. We are backed by venture capital investors and supported by public funding from ESA and DLR.

Capturing carbon in soils through regenerative agricultural practices is a powerful and still underutilized solution to climate change with significant co-benefits including improved soil health water quality food security and biodiversity.

Existing MRV solutions for soil carbon are a major driver of cost and complexity in carbon projects and often limit scalability. At Seqana we combine satellite imagery an extensive proprietary library of soil datasets and machine learning to deliver an accurate cost-effective and scalable MRV solution for soil organic carbon. Our product enables project developers agrifood corporations NGOs and government entities to credibly measure quantify and report the climate impact of regenerative agricultural practices.
