OXMAN hiring Systems Architect for EDEN, a generative ecosystem digital twin
tobias_rees · x · 2026-11-11
Neri Oxman's OXMAN is hiring a Systems Architect for EDEN, an environmental design platform that works backwards from target outcomes — carbon sequestration, stormwater retention, cooling, biodiversity — to discover optimal earthworks, planting and management plans.
Technically, EDEN maps satellite imagery and species records into a shared language of functional traits and physical site fields (topography, light, moisture, wind, thermal, soil), simulates multi-year ecosystem development with GPU physics solvers plus learned surrogates, and uses a hybrid decision engine of AI agents and mathematical optimization over procedural world models. Core components exist as research prototypes; work spans platform, science modules and applications teams.
