Job Description:

Keep ICEYE’s core APIs stable, observable, and trusted, powering reliable satellite tasking at scale. In this role, you will join ICEYE’s engineering domain responsible for customer-facing systems and interfaces (APIs and Web UIs). Your team, Operations, is responsible for our systems running smoothly in production. Your work directly contributes to the stability and operability of our Core platform and APIs — the backbone of our customers’ ability to task our satellite fleet.

Job Responsibility:

Contribute to the design, development, and support of backend capabilities, workflow automation, tooling, and APIs
Maintain our services in production, ensuring reliability, observability and performance as well as timely issue resolution
Collaborate with product managers, customers, internal stakeholders and other engineering teams to understand business needs and turn the insights into valuable solutions
Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code, and actively take part in code reviews and continuous improvement of our architecture and ways of working
Follow and apply security and quality best practices

Requirements:

Solid experience in backend software development, preferably in Go or a similar language and operating APIs and backend systems in production
Eagerness to understand business and customer problems and collaborate with stakeholders to make the right tradeoffs to build things that truly matter
Understanding of both cloud (e.g. AWS) and on-prem environments, infrastructure-as-code principles (e.g., Terraform) and container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)
Experience in monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) and operating high-reliability systems in production
Ability and willingness to occasionally go full-stack with Web UIs using TypeScript and React
Team work mindset
you take ownership of your work while keeping the team’s goals front and center. You actively contribute to team discussions and help drive technical decisions
You believe testing, documentation, and code reviews are essential parts of engineering—not chores

Nice to have:

Experience with authentication and authorization standards (OAuth, OpenID Connect, JWT)
Working experience as a Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)
Hands-on experience with AI-powered engineering tools
Familiarity with Event-Driven architectures
Experience with geospatial data (PostGIS, GeoJSON)
Interest in space, Earth observation, or satellite operations

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)
