Why Scale

Growing American AI Advantage

AI Job Creation

Since we moved to downtown St. Louis, we hired more than 200 Missourians without any previous AI experience. We also hired over 50 mid-level geospatial analysts and helped them transition from the military into tech.

Career-launching AI Upskilling

Over the last four years, our AI workforce of the future produced geospatial and generative AI training data for the U.S. government. Over two-thirds of our current workforce has been promoted beyond their initial role with many transitioning into management and specialized positions.

AI Expertise

Our geospatial intelligence and generative AI experts each have decades of experience which they have translated into formal training programs for our workforce. They are alongside the St. Louis workforce and ensure Scale delivers the most accurate machine learning data to drive maximum impact for our U.S. government customers.

Scale does an amazing job of supporting those transitioning from the military. My work at Scale aligns well with the core values I held when I served. The company is always striving to push people forward and provide opportunities for them to prove themselves among their peers. This creates a sense of forward momentum that I continually strive to maintain.

Geospatial AI Trainer 3, Scale

Looking back, I can really see how much I’ve grown with Scale. I started in January 2021, freshly 20, and every day here has been a rewarding and memorable experience. This job has given me opportunities I never imagined—like helping me save up to buy my first home.

Monica Vasquez

Geospatial Team Leader, Scale

Before joining Scale, I had an artistic background with an emphasis in printmaking, drawing and illustration, so I would often work in creative roles. These experiences helped me develop a strong eye for detail in areas like entertainment airbrush work, special effects, and face painting, and even hand crafting custom made video game controllers.

Because Scale has consistently grown both in size and business, it has created numerous challenges that require you to put your leadership skills to the test. I think the military and Scale have this in common, they set challenging goals to accomplish that stress teamwork and help people grow, personally and professionally.
