Senior Software Engineer (Go)

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

ICEYE is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to support their Software Engineering Department based in our headquarters in Espoo, Finland.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be a part of the team responsible for our Processing Platform.

Challenges you'll help us solve:

You will be working in a team that is responsible for ensuring our Satellite data gets timely processed and made available for customers all over the globe. You will be developing new features, as well as new software from scratch, to make a data platform that is modular and extensible, as well as highly available and horizontally scalable. You will help design and implement all layers of it including infrastructure, and also provide APIs so that the processed data can be made not only available but also actionable. Our stack is for the most part Go (Golang) services running on Kubernetes in AWS, and we do a lot of our own devops with infrastructure as code, be it Kubernetes manifests or Terraform infrastructure. We follow an agile process, code reviews, maintain our CI pipelines. Aiming at best practices, and always willing to improve.
