Candidates with 2-4 years may be considered for Forward Deployed Engineer, in line with our career framework. About GalaxEye GalaxEye is a space technology company building OptoSAR, which fuses SAR and EO imagery to strengthen ISR capability for defence and intelligence users. Alongside it, we offer AI-powered image and decision intelligence solutions that fuse multiple sensors into one secure, air-gapped and robust system for intelligence fusion and targeting. Role summary This is not a desk job, and it is not one job. As a Forward Deployed Engineer (Image Analyst), you will work where space meets AI: inside the user's operations room, turning satellite imagery and AI models into intelligence that decides what happens next. You will help build the product, hear directly from the people who rely on it, spot the next product before anyone asks for it, and research the use-cases that shape where GalaxEye goes. You will work closely with the Deployment Strategist, senior FDEs and our product and AI teams. Why this role Ø Work at the frontier: SAR-EO fusion and AI-driven intelligence are being built now, and few people anywhere get to deploy them in the field. Ø See your impact: your feedback and ideas go straight into the product, and you see them land with real users. Ø Grow in every direction: engineering, analysis, user engagement and product thinking.
