Why this role matters

We build software products that turn ICEYE’s satellite data and analytics into outcomes customers can rely on during real events such as floods, wildfires, and earthquakes.

This is an individual contributor role where you are expected to take ownership of your work and help deliver end-to-end product slices across backend and frontend. You help us ship frequently, keep systems supportable in production, and continuously reduce friction in how we build and run our products.

Who We Are

ICEYE delivers space-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to governments and allied nations. This includes sovereign and turnkey ISR missions leveraging ICEYE’s world-leading synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite technology, as well as access to data from the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation. These capabilities enable partners to detect and respond to critical changes anywhere on Earth with unprecedented speed and accuracy – day or night and in any weather, supported by ultra high-resolution imagery and high-frequency revisits.

As a trusted partner for defense, intelligence, security, and maritime domain awareness, ICEYE’s near real-time data creates a tactical advantage for mission-critical operations. Designed for dual use, the platform also serves civil protection and commercial users for natural-catastrophe intelligence, insurance, maritime monitoring (including oil-spill detection), and finance, contributing to global security and community resilience.

ICEYE is headquartered in Finland and operates globally across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. We have more than 900 employees, united by a shared vision: improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation.

Your day-to day responsibilities

• End-to-End Delivery: Own full product slices by building seamless functionality from backend APIs to frontend UIs, turning vague requirements into testable, production-ready code.

• Operational Excellence: Maintain system reliability by participating in on-call rotations and improving "observability" through meaningful alerts, clear logs, and automated runbooks.

• Process Optimization: Boost team velocity by identifying delivery bottlenecks such as slow CI or flaky tests, and automating away recurring toil to focus on novel engineering challenges.

• Pragmatic Engineering: Design simple, maintainable architectures that prioritize incremental changes, clear documentation, and high-quality code reviews to ensure safe deployments.

• Collaborative Leadership: Align with cross-functional partners (Product, Design, Data) to solve problems while mentoring peers through pair programming and shared technical context.

What we’re looking for

Must-haves

• Experience building and maintaining production software in a cloud environment, across both backend and frontend.

• Solid proficiency in at least one backend language (for example Python, TypeScript/Node.js, Go, Java or Kotlin) and one modern frontend framework (for example React, Vue or Angular).

• Comfortable designing and consuming APIs, and working with relational and/or NoSQL databases.

• Writes automated tests and keeps changes small and reviewable; ships, learns and iterates.

• Builds with operations in mind: resilience, debuggability and supportability.

• Extensive experience with Docker in development and production environments.

• Communicates clearly: can explain trade-offs and align with Product and peers.

• Uses AI-assisted tools (for example Cursor, ChatGPT, Claude Code) pragmatically, with good habits for verifying output.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with Python (especially FastAPI and async patterns) and/or TypeScript with React.

• Familiarity with geospatial domains, remote sensing or data-intensive applications.

• Experience with event-driven architecture and distributed systems.

• Familiarity with Kubernetes and infrastructure-as-code (for example Terraform).

• Exposure to regulated data environments (for example ISO 27001, DORA or GDPR).

• Experience improving the structure, performance or maintainability of a growing frontend codebase.

Application Process

• TA Interview

• Hiring Manager Interview

• Take Home Task

• Panel Interview

• Department Lead Interview

• Final Interview with SVP of Solutions
