SUPO)\n\n Why this role matters:\nAs a Staff Software Engineer, you will own the architecture behind how customers discover, order, receive and pay for ICEYE's SAR imagery and monitoring insights.. You will decide how several existing backend systems become one platform, and you will see that migration through to production.\nWho We Are\nICEYE 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.\nYour day-to-day responsibilities\nBuild the platform at the heart of ICEYE's data business: it's how customers buy and receive our imagery and insights, and it will drive the Data business's revenue for years to come.\n\nOwn the technical architecture and migration plan for bringing several existing backend systems together into one unified platform behind ICEYE's monitoring intelligence products.\n\nMake the key architecture and data-model decisions and hands-on drive them through execution across multiple engineering teams.\n\nDeliver the platform's first production milestone together with the team within the first quarter of 2027. Then lead the migration of the remaining live products onto it without disrupting customers.\n\nSet the technical standards other engineers build against as the platform consolidation continues.\n\nBring a point of view on where AI-assisted engineering practices genuinely help the team, and help others apply them.\n\nPartner directly with product and engineering leadership to keep the migration aligned as priorities evolve.\n\nWhat we're looking for\nBackend production engineering experience in Go, or deep enough backend expertise in a similar language to ramp quickly.\n\nHands-on experience with PostgreSQL and event-driven, message-based architectures.\n\nProduction experience with a major cloud provider (AWS preferred).\n\nPractical experience with observability tooling such as LGTM stack, Datadog and OpenTelemetry.\n\nA track record of technically leading an architecture renewal, platform consolidation, or large-scale migration end to end, not just contributing to one.\n\nProven ability to bring multiple engineering teams and stakeholders to a shared technical direction.\n\nGeospatial or space industry experience is a strong plus that will help you have an impact quickly. If you don't have it, apply anyway: most of our engineers learned the domain here.\n\nApplication Process\nTA Partner screening call (30 minutes)\n\nHiring manager interview (1 hour)\n\nTechnical interview (2 hours)\n\nValues & Fit interview (1 hour)\n\nFinal interview with SVP of Engineering (1 hour)\n\nWorking at ICEYE\nAt ICEYE, you'll join a diverse and highly engaged team united by the ambition to make the impossible possible.
