About EarthSense Labs
EarthSense Labs is a geospatial AI deep-tech startup founded by IIT Delhi alumni and faculty, and incubated at FITT, IIT Delhi. We translate frontier R&D into asset-level geospatial intelligence, building robust, mission-critical systems for the physical world.
Our flagship platform, GeoTwin 4D, is a sovereign Digital Twin for critical infrastructure, powered by Physical AI models that operate in real time. From cities and dams to defense and strategic assets, we embed our tools and our specialists directly into organizations to identify risk before it becomes failure. EarthSense is supported by the IndiaAI Mission and NVIDIA inception program.
We're a mission-aligned team spanning AI, GPU/HPC computing, satellite remote sensing, LiDAR, and software. If you're passionate about working on problems that matter, come join EarthSense.
Product-Focused Frontend Engineering
Frontend engineering at EarthSense focuses on building robust, data-driven interfaces for geospatial and AI-powered systems. Our frontend engineers work with APIs, streaming data, and model outputs to ensure accurate state management, performant visualizations, and reliable user workflows.
The goal is to ship complete, end-to-end product features that deliver real value - not isolated screens. We look for frontend engineers who think in terms of outcomes, iterate quickly, and care deeply about how the entire system behaves in real-world use.
