We are a small, deeply technical team working at the intersection of orbital engineering, remote sensing, and national-scale intelligence. If you want your work to matter - verifiably, at planetary scale - there is no better place to be.
"The planet is generating intelligence signals every second. We are building the infrastructure to read them - and the sovereign layer to make those readings count."
Most companies describe their work as meaningful. At Zixent, the connection is literal. The algorithms you write run on data from orbit. The models you train determine whether a government can independently verify its own forests, its own methane emissions, its own agricultural reserves. The intelligence products you build end up in procurement decisions, carbon registries, and national policy frameworks.
There is no abstraction layer between the work and its consequence. That is why people choose Zixent - and why they stay.
Every role at Zixent connects to one or more of these mission objectives - directly, measurably, and without layers of organisational distance.
Designing, building, and operating the Hawk LEO constellation - twelve Nano satellites with VNIR+SWIR hyperspectral sensors targeting 520 km polar orbit from 2028. The full-stack satellite programme.
Processing hyperspectral data at national scale - from atmospheric correction and radiometric calibration through to land-use classification, vegetation mapping, and resource monitoring at sub-30m resolution.
Building the satellite-derived carbon monitoring, reporting, and verification stack that carbon registries, sovereign ministries, and financial regulators will depend on - cryptographically signed and tamper-evident.
Developing GHG retrieval algorithms for atmospheric methane and CO₂ column measurement at 1 ppb sensitivity - supporting national NDC reporting and climate finance accountability frameworks.
Delivering air-gap configurable, cryptographically verified intelligence products to governments and defence organisations - ensuring national data never touches foreign infrastructure.
Building the API and intelligence layer that makes Hawk data programmatically accessible - standardised geospatial intelligence APIs that integrate directly into government systems, carbon platforms, and financial models.
Every role here connects to a real mission objective. We hire for depth, intellectual rigour, and the conviction to do hard work carefully.
We pay competitively for our markets. We think carefully about what makes work sustainable over a long horizon — not just what looks good on a recruiting page. Every full-time employee receives equity, because we are building long-term infrastructure and want everyone here to own a meaningful piece of it.
Base pay at or above the 75th percentile for your role and location, reviewed annually with a structured performance cycle.
Every full-time employee receives meaningful equity. We are building long-term infrastructure and want everyone here to own a piece of it.
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision for you and your immediate family. 100% of employee premiums covered, 80% for dependents.
Genuinely supported unlimited leave. We measure outcomes, not attendance. A minimum two-week block per year is actively encouraged.
Quarterly time at the other office, all travel and accommodation fully covered. Understanding both teams makes you better at your work.
₹1.2L / AUD 3,500 per year for courses, conferences, certifications, and books. No approval gate within the threshold.
Your choice of workstation spec within a generous limit, plus home-office allowance for hybrid roles. Your tools should not be the bottleneck.
20 weeks fully paid for primary carers, 12 weeks for secondary carers. No performance review penalty. We mean it when we say we support families.
We respect your time. The full process runs three to four weeks from application to decision. No surprises, no ghosting.
A human reads every application — no automated rejection filters at first screen. You will hear back within 5 business days, always.
30 minutes with your hiring manager. We want to understand what you have built, what you find hard, and what you are looking for. No trick questions.
A take-home exercise or technical discussion, capped at 3 hours. For senior roles, a case study based on real problems we have encountered.
Meet the team — two conversations with peers and cross-functional colleagues. Decision and offer letter within 3 business days of the final interview.
We keep a talent pipeline and open files for exceptional people. If you are a climate scientist, orbital engineer, geospatial specialist, or commercial leader who believes in this mission — we want to hear from you.
