About the role

• Fullstack Software Engineer building APIs and services for analytics in Earth observation. Focus on cloud-native Python services and TypeScript/React UI development.

Responsibilities

• Design and ship cloud‑native Python services (e.g., FastAPI) with well‑versioned REST APIs and solid contracts
• Model domain data for Postgres/PostGIS (jobs, provenance, results) and implement robust access patterns
• Make long‑running work first‑class: asynchronous jobs, idempotency, retries, clear user feedback
• Build a pragmatic TypeScript/React UI focused on operability: job authoring, status, metrics, and basic visualization hooks
• Production hygiene: tests, CI/CD, docs, API schemas; instrument observability (CloudWatch/Datadog/Otel) with actionable alerts
• Secure coding by default (authn/z, secrets, dependency hygiene)
• Use AI‑assisted tools for coding/tests/docs responsibly—share patterns that lift the whole team
• Work with the broader defense and intelligence engineering team to integrate and serve the tools you help build**

Requirements

• Strong Python; experience building and operating APIs (FastAPI or similar)
• Practical AWS skills (running services and jobs; S3, IAM; plus Batch/Step Functions basics)
• Data modeling with Postgres (PostGIS welcome) and comfort with Docker/ECR
• CI/CD discipline, automated testing, and observability in production (CloudWatch/Datadog)
• Clear written communication (design docs, PRs, runbooks)
• LLM IDE Tooling proficiency & curiosity (e.g. Cursor, Claude, Copilot)
• **Nice‑to‑haves**
• TypeScript/React (or comparable modern frontend) and map‑centric UI patterns
• STAC concepts, GDAL/raster tooling; xarray/dask for large arrays
• Evented systems (SQS/SNS/Kinesis), caching, performance profiling
• gRPC or GraphQL; experience productizing research code
• Kubernetes/EKS, Argo/Hera if/when we use K8s; Go familiarity to read or wrap other teams’ services (nice to have).

Benefits

• A job that matters in a dynamic Earth Observation environment with a scale-up approach
• An independent role with a supportive and diverse work environment
• Occupational healthcare, occupational and accident insurance
• A yearly benefit budget to spend as you wish (i.e. on sport, transport, bike benefit, wellness, lunch, etc.)
• Phone subscription with iPhone of choice
• Relocation support (i.e. flight tickets, accommodation, relocation agency support)
• Time for self-development, research, training, conferences, or certification schemes
• Inspiring and collaborating offices and silent workspaces enable you to focus
• A wide variety of the best coffee, tea, snacks, and sweets to accompany your daily space mission
• Competitive salary contingent on your experience level, and will be negotiated individually
• Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)
