About Us

Digantara is a leading Space Surveillance and Intelligence company focused on ensuring orbital safety and sustainability. With expertise in space-based detection, tracking, identification, and monitoring; Digantara provides comprehensive domain awareness across all orbital regimes, enabling end-users to gain actionable intelligence on a single integrated platform. 

At the core of our infrastructure lies a sophisticated integration of hardware and mission-critical software aligned with the principles of situational awareness — perception (data collection), comprehension (data processing), and prediction (analytics). As we scale globally, we are building not just cutting-edge space systems, but also the financial and operational backbone required to become a world-class enterprise. 

Behind every successful space mission is a strong financial engine. This role is that engine. 

Why Us? 

This is not a traditional finance role. This is a front-row seat to building a global deep-tech company in one of the most critical sectors of the future. 

1. Shape the financial architecture of a company defining orbital security and sustainability. 

2. Partner directly with founders and leadership to influence strategic decisions. 

3. Operate at the intersection of space-tech, capital efficiency, and global expansion. 

4. Experience the ownership, speed, and impact of a high-growth startup — without compromising on ambition or scale. 

5. Build systems that will support a global enterprise for decades. 

If you want your work to matter beyond spreadsheets — this is where it does.
