Senior Go Engineer

About ICEYE

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 over $65M in financing to date.

Position

In this role, you will be joining the Business Automation team to help develop a set of microservices and public APIs where ICEYE's products and services are made available.

Some of these APIs are used directly by our customers. Some others are used to power internal and external UIs such as our Order Management Portal. This team consists of 10+ engineers working on the backend, frontend, or both. The team is supported by a UX designer, DevOps, and security engineer.

You will be developing new, well-tested features. You will also be helping the team design and implement new systems from scratch with strict scalability, availability and reliability requirements for both internal and external stakeholders.

You and the team will own the systems that you create, from their design to their operation in production.

Our stack is mostly Go microservices running on Kubernetes in AWS and PostgreSQL and a good share of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).

We are constantly evolving our architecture, and we are looking at ways of bettering it using elements of Event-Driven Architecture, for example.

We follow Agile from first principles, aim at best industry practices and are always willing to improve.
