GalaxEye is an Indian space tech startup pioneering multi-sensor imaging satellites. The company is developing the Drishti Mission - the world's first satellite with advanced multi-sensor capabilities delivering all-time, all-weather imagery, including nighttime and challenging environmental conditions. Headquartered in India and incubated at IIT Madras, GalaxEye focuses on enabling advanced geospatial analytics for governments, defense, and global industries.
This is a full-time, on-site role based in Bengaluru for a
Full Stack Engineer - Front-End Focus (R&D & Geospatial Prototyping). We are looking for a highly adaptable Full Stack Engineer with strong front-end expertise to build experimental, high-impact UI systems for geospatial intelligence products. This role focuses on:
- Rapid prototyping
- Design-to-UI implementation
- Geospatial rendering (high importance)
- Standalone + server-based deployment models
Key Responsibilities
A. Geospatial Front-End Development (High Priority)
- Build interactive dashboards using React.
- Implement geospatial visualization (raster overlays, vector layers, tiled data).
- Integrate Mapbox GL / Leaflet / OpenLayers.
- Render large datasets efficiently.
- Implement time-series + spatial analytics views.
B. Rapid Prototyping
- Translate design prototypes (Figma) into production-ready UI.
- Build proof-of-concept tools for new algorithms.
- Create visualization interfaces for internal R&D.
- Support demo-driven feature builds under evolving requirements.
C. Backend Integration (Standalone & Server Mode)
- Build REST APIs using Node.js or Python (FastAPI preferred).
- Manage local server deployments.
- Handle spatial data ingestion (GeoJSON, raster tiles, etc.).
- Implement authentication and role-based access.
D. LLM-Based Applications
This role may involve integrating LLM-based interfaces into geospatial products.
Expected level:
- Comfortable making structured API calls to LLMs
- Designing chat-based interfaces
- Handling prompt templating and response formatting
Optional but strong plus:
- Building retrieval pipelines (RAG)
- Designing modular agent-like workflows
Requirements
Required Qualifications:
- 2-3 years of experience in Full Stack development.
- Strong React proficiency.
- Experience with modern JavaScript practices.
- Experience integrating REST APIs.
- Familiarity with spatial data visualization libraries.
- Comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
- Strong debugging skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with geospatial frameworks (Mapbox GL, Leaflet).
- Experience with Electron for desktop apps (if relevant).
- Basic understanding of LLM application development.
- Experience in defense/geospatial/scientific products.
- Version control & structured release notes discipline.
