Job Description

We are a cutting-edge defense technology firm that is renowned for building next-generation AI systems for national security applications. We seek highly motivated, GIS professionals in India to join our team as Data Labeling / GIS Specialists for an urgent and high-priority client deliverable involving overhead imagery analysis.

This role is ideal for candidates with strong GIS experience who thrive in fast-paced, mission-driven environments. You’ll combine your geospatial and analytical expertise to train advanced object detection AI models by labeling and interpreting satellite and aerial imagery with exceptional precision. This is an ideal role for individuals who are extremely detail-oriented, can work independently, are deeply analytical, and excited to contribute to impactful defense-related AI work.

About the Role

As a Data Labeling / GIS Specialist you will play a critical role in annotating and interpreting geospatial imagery that fuels our AI systems. You’ll operate within a tightly focused, collaborative team, applying your GIS knowledge to ensure labeling accuracy, geospatial consistency, and adherence to mapping standards.

This position is perfect for individuals who are:

• Highly detail-oriented and GIS fluent
• Able to interpret overhead imagery confidently
• Excited to apply their geospatial analysis skills to real-world defense applications
• We rely on your GIS expertise to maintain high accuracy under demanding timelines. Exceptional performers will be considered for long-term, full-time roles as we scale our geospatial AI programs.

Key Responsibilities

• Leverage GIS tools and methods (such as QGIS or ArcGIS) to accurately identify, analyze, and label objects in satellite and aerial imagery.
• Ensure geospatial precision in all labeled datasets — understanding projection systems, coordinate accuracy, and spatial relationships.
• Apply sound logic on ambiguous cases; document reasoning to maintain labeling consistency.
• Proactively communicate with project leadership and technical teams on progress, challenges, and workflow improvements, including QA.
• Help refine geospatial labeling standards and contribute to process automation or quality improvements where possible.
• Develop deeper expertise in imagery analysis and GIS workflows, and gain basic familiarity with how these labeled data sets train machine learning models.

Qualifications:

• At least an undergraduate degree; please list your GPA in your CV.
• Prior experience with GIS is required. Imagery analysis, QGIS, and labeling is highly preferred.
• Prior professional experience with GIS tools is required — especially QGIS, ArcGIS, or similar platforms used for imagery interpretation, annotation, or spatial analysis.
• Strong command over Microsoft Suite and Google tools such as Excel, Word, Sheets, etc. You must be well versed in file management- we want those who are highly organized!
• Proven analytical and logical reasoning skills — able to manage multiple datasets and tasks with precision and consistency.
• Self-starter with a bias for action, strong attention to detail, and ability to maintain accuracy and productivity under tight deadlines.
• The perfect candidate for this role is someone who is adaptable, highly dependable, and can apply logic to multiple different scenarios concurrently. We’re seeking candidates with proven analytical skills, and are excited to solve complex problems.
• This position is a remote role, however, candidates must be able to reliably produce, at a high degree of accuracy, over sustained timelines.
• You must be extremely quality focused, a self-starter with bias for action, and able to work in a fast-paced environment.
