Who are we?

We are a Finnish-based international New Space company with employees from more than 57 countries in Finland, the US, the UK, Spain, Luxembourg, and Poland. Our team is a tight-knit group of experts from areas including engineering, software development, and radar technology. We’re innovative, driven people who strive for excellence in everything we do. Being advocates of our corporate culture, we value teamwork and curiosity, and we know how to have fun!

What do we do?

ICEYE is building and operating its commercial constellation of small Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites with SAR data available to customers. Our satellites acquire images of Earth at any time even when it’s cloudy or dark providing commercial and government partners with unmatched persistent monitoring capabilities. Information derived from our SAR images helps customers make data-driven decisions to address time-critical challenges in various sectors, such as maritime, disaster management, insurance, and finance.

The role:

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).
