Description

ICEYE is building the world’s largest constellation of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites. The satellites can take images at any time of day – even when it’s cloudy or dark – and those images will let our customers understand the world better and make more intelligent decisions. We launched the world’s first SAR microsatellite in January 2018 and raised $65M in financing to date.

We are a Finnish based international startup with employees from more than 25 countries and subsidiaries in the US, UK and Poland. Our team is a tight-knit group of experts from a range of areas including engineering, software development, and radar technology. We’re innovative, driven, and strive for excellence in everything we do. We don’t listen to people who say it can’t be done: we go and do it!

To support the growth of the company, we are now looking for a Senior Software Engineer to be based in Espoo, Finland or Warsaw, Poland.

What challenges you will help us solve

Our product team develops the software required to operate a constellation of satellites and deliver image products to our customers. This includes the mission planning software that schedules and optimizes the image acquisitions, the ground segment software that allows us operate and task our satellites interfacing with ground stations around the world, as well as the SAR processing pipeline that converts radar and telemetry data into images that are delivered to our customers.

As we launch more satellites, our constellation will grow and so will the amount of data and complexity. This means that our software architecture needs to scale and adapt well. Because we are the first company to launch a large SAR constellation, we will face problems that no one else has faced before. We need to learn how to do this well, and we need to do it ourselves.

How we work

Building an entirely new kind of satellite constellation is not always easy, and our work requires a lot of experimentation and iteration. While the long-term goals remain the same, the short-term plans change often.

Our stack is mostly Python and Javascript/React. Our software runs on the cloud – we use AWS, but not exclusively. Among other tools we use for development and deployment are Git, Docker, Jenkins, Ansible and Kubernetes. We will introduce new technologies to our stack as we progress and when it makes sense. You will have a lot of say on the choices we make.

Requirements

• You are a solid hands-on software engineer and you can show it. You get things done but also know when to take the time to get the design right
• Outstanding coding skills in Python and/or Javascript/React. Demonstrable interest in learning new software engineering technologies and methods
• Experience creating CI/CD pipelines as well as working with containers and orchestration.
• Experience with software security, microservices, containers, AWS/cloud computing and infrastructure as code will be seen as a great advantage.

Benefits

• A job that matters – you will be responsible for building a critical part of our infrastructure that our customers around the world will rely on.
• Unique experience and opportunity in aerospace industry, in a company that’s growing fast at a time when everything is possible.
• Independent role with a supportive and international work environment, many who have moved to Finland just to join ICEYE.
