Junior Imagery Analyst

We’re Looking for a Junior Imagery Analyst to Join Foundation Stack AI’s Imagery Analysis & Annotation Team!

At Foundation Stack AI, we don’t build ordinary products. We build capabilities that redefine what’s possible for the U.S. Military and Intelligence Community. Today we lead the world in man-made Vertical Obstruction (VO) data. Tomorrow, we’ll lead in something even bigger: a global, AI-powered, human-machine teaming system for understanding the man-made world – faster and more precisely than ever before.

We can’t do it without people who care deeply about getting it right.

This is where you come in.

The Role: Junior Imagery Analyst
We’re building a team of smart, focused people who want their work to matter. Our Imagery Analysis Team is the heartbeat of Foundation Stack’s AI platform. Your job will be to look at the world from above – literally. You’ll annotate satellite imagery, review features, and ensure that every pixel we analyze pushes the edge of what our models can understand.

This is precision work. Strategic work. You’re training machines to see like humans – and maybe, one day, even better.

What You’ll Do:

• Collaborate with a mission-driven team that believes great data enables mission planning, boosts survivability, and enhances lethality.
• Build the world’s most reliable data holdings from satellite imagery.
• Teach and validate the AI models that power our SaaS and DaaS products.
• Work inside our platform to tag, validate, and quality-check visual data.
• Break down hard problems, think from first principles, and push for better solutions – always.
• Make an impact on U.S. national security mission.

Who You Are:
We’re not hung up on degrees or titles. We care about mindset and a positive attitude above all else.

You’re focused. You’re curious. You care deeply about details. You take ownership. You move fast and don’t wait to be told what to do. You’re here because you want your work to serve a greater mission.

Minimum Requirements:

• U.S. citizenship.
• A clean background and willingness to pursue a SECRET clearance.
• Experience annotating or labeling images.
• Ability to adapt and thrive in a fast-changing environment.

It’s Even Better If You Have:

• A current U.S. Government security clearance.
• Familiarity with Google Docs, Slack, Trello, or similar tools.

What You’re Signing Up For:

This won’t be easy. But it will be meaningful. If you want to be part of a team that is not afraid to question everything, that is obsessed with attention to detail and quality, and that is on a mission to build technology that makes a positive impact on U.S. national security – this is your shot.

We’re building something impactful. Reach out if you're interested in joining our team!
