Relocation to Finland required\n\nDepartment: Product Engineering, Solutions\n\nReports to: Engineering Manager, Geospatial Product Engineering\n\nEmployment type: Permanent\n\nWorkplace model: Hybrid\n\nEmployment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)\n\nWhy this role matters:\nAs Engineering Team Lead (Geospatial Analytics), you'll own a product engineering team that turns remote sensing and auxiliary data into fast, reliable insight when natural catastrophes happen. The team currently supports our Wind, Earthquake and Landslide products and brings together analytics (SAR, Machine learning / Data Science) and software engineers. \nYou will work in tandem with the Product Manager to decide what to build and why, and closely with Operations to make sure the products perform during live events.Your decisions shape how several products work, so you'll own the product’s engineering domain end to end: analytics that serve several products at once, built to the level the problem needs and no further. You will be hands-on, which keeps your technical judgement credible and your feedback specific.\nWho We Are\n\n ICEYE is the world leader in sovereign intelligence from space. We deliver persistent monitoring capabilities to detect and respond to changes in any location on Earth.\nICEYE owns the world's largest and most advanced SAR (synthetic aperture radar) satellite constellation. To our customers we provide intelligence with unmatched quality, latency and revisit times, in any weather, day or night. To governments who choose to operate their own constellation we provide this proven capability as a sovereign system.\nICEYE-built constellations serve customers in defence and intelligence, environmental monitoring, insurance and emergency management. We enable fast decisions that contribute to a safer future.\nFounded and headquartered in Finland, ICEYE operates globally with over 1000 employees across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.\n Your day-to-day responsibilities\nLead and own the product engineering team: hiring, growth, performance and wellbeing of the team members\n\nOwn the team's technical direction across analytics and engineering, taking work from research prototype to production systems that run reliably against customer commitments.\n\nWork in tandem with the Product Manager on roadmap and priorities, turning customer needs into analytics capability.\n\nDesign shared change detection analytics that serve multiple products in the team’s portfolio\n\nCollaborate closely with Operations on event response, so that delivery workflows, latency and quality hold up when it matters.\n\nContribute directly to analytical development (SAR, geospatial data science / ML), validation and code.\n\nSet and maintain scientific and engineering standards across the team, including review practice, validation rigour, testing and documentation.\n\nStakeholder management - including Product Engineering leadership and different product stakeholders\n\nWhat we’re looking for\nMust haves:\nMaster’s or PhD in Remote Sensing, Machine Learning, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, Geoscience, Physics, Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience.\n\nExperience in hands-on leadership as a line manager or tech lead, with a track record of delivery and examples of people who grew under your leadership.\n\nExperience working closely with product and operations teams in a flow-based, outcome-focused way, including giving direct feedback constructively and explaining technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.\n\nA record of taking analytics from prototype to reliable production against latency, accuracy and uptime targets, with sound judgement on when a solution is good enough.\n\nExperience building, validating and deploying ML models or analytical pipelines based on SAR or other remote sensing imagery for tasks such as damage assessment, change detection or object detection. This includes working with noisy or sparse labels, validating against ground truth such as field surveys or claims data, and monitoring model performance in production.\n\nA solid grasp of SAR principles, including how backscatter responds to structural change in built environments, and applied experience in change detection using amplitude, coherence or interferometric (InSAR) methods.\n\nStrong Python skills and experience applying modern engineering practice (Git, code review, testing, CI, documentation), deployed with Docker on AWS. Ability to lead cross-functional teams.\n\nNice to haves:\nExperience fusing remote sensing imagery with auxiliary data, such as weather, terrain models or building attributes, to improve model performance.\n\nExperience using geospatial foundation models and embeddings (e.g. AlphaEarth Foundations) for tasks such as classification, similarity search or change detection.\n\nExperience with natural hazards, disaster response, insurance or emergency management use cases.\n\nHands-on use of AI-assisted development tools in your daily engineering work.\n\nA publication or patent record, or other evidence of sustained technical contribution.\n\nApplication Process\nTA Interview\n\nHiring Manager Interview\n\nTake Home Task\n\nPanel Interview\n\nDepartment Lead Interview\n\nFinal Interview with SVP of Solutions\n\nWorking at ICEYE\nAt ICEYE, you’ll join a diverse and highly engaged team united by the ambition to make the impossible possible.
