Job Summary
SatSure is looking for a Lead Data Scientist (Computer Vision) to drive the next generation of geospatial intelligence models powering critical products across agriculture finance infrastructure utilities energy and climate. This is a senior hands-on technical leadership role responsible for solving complex Earth Observation challenges using advanced ML/CV and leading teams toward state-of-the-art production-ready solutions.
About Team and Mission :
Our EO Applied Data Science team builds foundational research and applied ML systems that work across seasonal geographic and sensor variations - from multispectral and SAR to multi-temporal satellite data.
We have delivered high-impact Geospatial Data Science solutions across a wide spectrum of EO applications including Land Use & Land Cover mapping Crop Classification Sowing and Harvest Progression Change Detection Route Optimization Satellite Image Time-Series (SITS) classification Image2Image (I2I) Translation Cross Modal Fusion etc.
We now aim to push beyond the existing SOTA and build large-scale real-time systems that operate with terabytes of satellite data delivering insights that impact millions of end users especially in developing markets and more ambiguous/complex geographies.
About SatSure:
SatSure is a deep-tech decision intelligence company that leverages Earth Observation (EO) data to solve crucial problems across agriculture finance infrastructure utilities aviation energy and climate to name a few. Our goal is to create meaningful impact for the other millions with a focus on the developing world. We aim to make insights from Earth Observation data accessible to all.
With a founding team rooted in the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS) and a leadership team with diverse industry experience (IBM Samsung Intel USC IITKGP IITG IITM) we value technical innovation and scale. If you are interested in working in an environment focused on societal impact driven by cutting-edge technology and offering the freedom to innovate and be creative with no hierarchies SatSure is the place for you.
