Imagery Analyst – Asia Region (Project-Based)

About the role

Proofinder, an international research and analysis firm specializing in market, field and open-source geospatial studies, is looking for an experienced Imagery Analyst for a project-based engagement supporting its geospatial and infrastructure audit programs across Asia. This is a dedicated image interpretation and asset verification role: analysts receive completed remote survey reports and site dossiers with high-resolution satellite imagery, and their task is to analyze the visual data, confirm facility classifications and identify on-site assets. Primary area sweeps and initial satellite scouting are not part of the work.

Key responsibilities

• Analyze high-resolution optical and multi-spectral satellite imagery embedded in third-party survey reports and site dossiers across Asian regions.
• Identify and categorize military and strategic infrastructure components.
• Perform order-of-battle and asset identification from satellite imagery.
• Check whether reported facility functions, descriptions and coordinate pins match the physical signatures seen in the imagery.
• Flag discrepancies, misidentifications or ambiguous signatures and provide evidence-based technical corrections.

Required profile

• Proven professional experience in satellite imagery analysis and digital remote-sensing interpretation.
• Strong visual recognition skills for defense installations, military hardware and critical utility and logistics infrastructure.
• Excellent written English for technical reporting and asset tagging.
• High attention to detail, rigorous quality discipline and an evidence-first approach.
• Preferred: prior background as an Imagery Analyst, GEOINT Analyst or OSINT Imagery Specialist; familiarity with military installations and equipment across Asian theaters; experience auditing or QA-ing third-party geospatial surveys.

Required skills

• Familiarity with commercial satellite sensors, resolutions and typical visual artifacts (Maxar, Airbus, Planet Labs, Sentinel).
• Order-of-battle analysis and technical facility layout assessment.

The engagement is 100% remote and task-based, paid per project according to the volume of reports reviewed and the technical complexity of the audit. Applications are made by email with an updated CV, a brief summary of imagery analysis experience and any unclassified samples of past work; applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and shortlisted candidates receive sample test materials.
