Role highlights:
Senior Software Engineer, Product Engineering
Location: Finland, Espoo
Department: Solutions
Reports to: Engineering Manager / Team Lead
Employment type: Permanent
Workplace model: Hybrid
Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO)
Why this role matters:
In this role, you build the software that turns ICEYE’s radar data into products that can be trusted and used on the ground, in the moments that matter most.
Satellite data is only valuable if it is usable when it matters. Your role, as part of the team, is to ensure our Solutions are fast, reliable, and simple to operate, so our customers can monitor floods, fires, and other natural and man-made events in near-real time, even when conditions are challenging. You will work at the intersection of product, science, and engineering, and you will ship end-to-end.
One Role, Two Paths
We are hiring for this profile to fill a critical gap in either our direct Product teams or our foundational Core Analysis Platform team. During the process, we will assess where your skills and interests leverage the most impact:
Product Teams (e.g., Flood, Wildfire): Your customer is the external client (e.g., Government or Insurance users). You focus on the "last mile"—shipping end-to-end features, visualizing insights for non-experts, and driving commercial outcomes.
Core Analysis Platform Team: Your customer is the internal expert (Analysts, Peril Leads, Meteo) and other Product Teams. You focus on the "engine"—building the high-scale execution environments, data pipelines, and advanced tools that allow our experts to model perils (Flood, Fire, Wind) accurately and efficiently.
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.
Requirements
If you like hard product problems, fast feedback, and real ownership, this role is a good fit.
Our domain is complex. We work with geospatial data, uncertain inputs, time-critical decisions, and customers who need answers that hold in real situations. The job is to turn that complexity into products that are clear, reliable, and easy to evolve, and to run them in the real world.
Your day-to day responsibilities
Iterative Product Delivery: Transform high-level, ambiguous requirements into small, testable increments, ensuring that product value is shipped end-to-end and safely deployed to production.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner daily with Product, ML/GIS, and SAR scientists to align technical constraints with desired outcomes, ensuring the architecture supports the specific needs of the domain.
Operational Excellence & Reliability: Manage the health of the system by refining alerts, building informative dashboards, participating in on-call rotations, and automating away "toil" to keep the platform supportable.
Pragmatic Architecture & Evolution: Guide technical decisions using reversible, incremental patterns (like modularization or strangler approaches) and document them via lightweight ADRs to maintain long-term system clarity.
Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Multiply the team's impact by raising the bar through code reviews, pairing, and teaching the "why" behind engineering choices to improve overall maintainability and flow.
What we’re looking for
Must-haves
Senior-level experience (typically 7+ years or equivalent) designing, delivering, and maintaining cloud native production software in collaborative teams
Production maturity: you have seen systems fail, you learn from incidents, and you design for resilience and operability
Flow mindset: you prioritize finishing, unblocking, and reducing context switching over starting more parallel work
Modern stack proficiency: strong experience with Python (FastAPI / async) and TypeScript/React, with a focus on readability and long-term maintainability
Skilled in architecting Docker-based workflows to accelerate CI/CD pipelines and simplify cloud deployments.
Automation mindset: you use tooling (including AI-assisted workflows where permitted) to reduce boilerplate and speed up routine work, while keeping humans accountable for correctness, security, and quality
Nice-to-haves
Experience with event-driven architecture patterns & implementation, and distributed systems
Familiarity with Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code (for example, Terraform) in a product team context
Background in GIS, remote sensing, or data-intensive applications
