Senior Full Stack Geospatial Engineer
GalaxEye Space
Job Description
GalaxEye Space pioneers Earth Observation by integrating Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Multi-Spectral Imager (MSI), and proprietary SyncFused products (SAR + MSI fusion). We are seeking a motivated and skilled Senior Full Stack Geospatial Engineer to join our Data Operations team. This role focuses on transforming raw satellite data into high-quality, customer-ready products by designing, building, and maintaining end-to-end geospatial data processing pipelines deployed in cloud environments.
Key Responsibilities
Data Pipeline Development & Engineering:
Design and develop scalable, high-performance geospatial ETL/ELT pipelines for SAR, MSI, and SyncFused sensor data.
Automate ingestion, pre-processing, orthorectification, calibration, and final product generation for large remote sensing datasets.
Write reusable, high-quality software libraries in Python or relevant languages supporting data product standards.
Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps:
Deploy, manage, and monitor pipelines on cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP using serverless, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and storage solutions (e.g., S3).
Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines for secure, continuous software deployment.
Optimize cloud resource use for cost-efficiency and high-throughput geospatial processing.
Full Stack Development & API:
Design and build APIs and web services to provide internal and external access to processed data and analytics.
Contribute to front-end or web-GIS applications for visualization, monitoring, and user interaction.
Standards and Quality Assurance:
Ensure all data products comply with industry standards (CEOS, ISO) and client requirements.
Implement data quality assessment and validation at pipeline stages, focusing on sensor-specific calibration.
Maintain comprehensive technical documentation for software, pipelines, and products.
Requirements
Minimum 2+ years’ experience in Full Stack Software Engineering, Data Engineering, or related roles with a focus on geospatial or remote sensing data.
Strong proficiency in Python and geospatial libraries (GDAL, Rasterio, GeoPandas, Shapely).
Understanding of GIS concepts, map projections, coordinate reference systems (CRS), and spatial analysis is a plus.
Experience in designing scalable data processing solutions on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
Familiarity with containerization tools (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).
Proficiency with spatial databases like PostgreSQL/PostGIS.
Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
Ability to work effectively in Agile/Scrum teams and collaborate across functions.
Nice-to-Have Skills
Experience with SAR and MSI data processing algorithms and formats.
Familiarity with cloud-native geospatial formats like Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF (COG), STAC.
Experience deploying ML/DL models for geospatial analysis and feature extraction.
Knowledge of infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation).
Benefits
Competitive salary and performance bonuses
Health insurance and wellness programs
Flexible work arrangements
Opportunity to work on cutting-edge Earth Observation technologies
Collaborative and innovative work environment
