Senior Geospatial Data Scientist

We are looking for a skilled and deeply curious Geospatial Data Scientist to join our core intelligence team. In this role you will own the end to end geospatial science pipeline from raw satellite pixels to village level economic intelligence across India. This is a founding science role. You are not analysing data. You are building the system that generates intelligence at national scale. If you have deep expertise in satellite data science, a systems thinking mindset, and a passion for working at the intersection of earth observation and economic intelligence, we would love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain pixel level processing pipelines across multiple satellite and geospatial data sources at national scale.
• Design and implement temporal science pipelines on satellite time series data.
• Build and validate classification and change detection models across diverse Indian geographies.
• Develop localisation frameworks calibrated to different agro climatic zones across India.
• Build structure level intelligence from satellite imagery.
• Construct proximity and connectivity intelligence frameworks at village level.
• Ensure data quality, consistency, and scalability across all geospatial pipelines at production scale.

Requirements

• 46 years of hands on experience in satellite data processing or remote sensing science.
• Strong Python based geospatial stack rasterio, xarray, geopandas, dask, numpy, scipy.
• Experience with optical and radar satellite imagery processing at regional or national scale.
• Has built temporal smoothing, gap filling, or change detection pipelines on satellite time series.
• Has worked across multiple agro climatic zones in India.
• Experience with building or structure detection from satellite imagery is a strong advantage.
• Familiarity with geospatial foundation models is a strong advantage.
• Experience with OpenStreetMap data and proximity analysis.
• Strong model validation skills across diverse geographies.
• Degree in Geography, Geoinformatics, Remote Sensing, Environmental Science, Computer Science, or related field preferred.
• Background from ISRO, IIRS Dehradun, IISc, IIT or earth observation focused organisations is a strong advantage.
