Our aim is to empower any user in the world to harness the power of earth observation satellites to simplify and improve their daily work.You will join the team that turns analytics outputs into data products and makes them available across the platform and to customers. We already have deep geospatial and data engineering expertise in the team; what we need is a strong generalist software engineer who makes our core services and pipelines more reliable, observable and scalable. Concrete topics you would work on are, for example, the performance and scalability of backend services serving large volumes of geospatial data, the health and observability of our end-to-end processing pipeline, and the stability of the interfaces between the services that make it up.\nWe are a team of five engineers and three geospatial analysts today, embedded in a cross-functional group of product managers, UX/UI designers, data, devops, ML, and geospatial engineering experts. You will not be the only person responsible for any system you touch, but you will play a crucial role in how we evolve our services and components.\nYour challenge\nOwn the maintenance, performance and scalability of core backend services, evolving their data models, APIs and storage as data volumes and consumers grow.\nMaintain a clear, shared view of the health of the end-to-end product pipeline so that regressions and failures are detected early rather than discovered late or through manual coordination.\nBuild and uphold the practices that make this possible: monitoring, alerting, automated quality checks and testing across services.\nHelp keep the interfaces between services stable: spot schema drift, contract failures and version incompatibilities early, feed concrete failure cases back to the owning engineers and help establish durable contracts.\nContribute to safer release practices such as backwards compatibility, feature flags and staged rollouts.\nMaintain and improve our workflow orchestration and the automation around it, reducing manual steps and operational toil.\nTurn observed system behaviour into concrete improvement work and bring it into team planning.\nMentor engineers through code review and pairing; raise the bar on scoping, testing and release stability.\nStack\nBackend: Python\nOrchestration: Prefect, Anyscale, K8s\nDatabase: PostgreSQL / PostGIS (including geospatial workloads)\nInfrastructure & CI/CD: Gitlab, AWS\nYour profile\nMust have:At least 5 of experience building and operating production backend services or data pipelines in Python\nSolid track record maintaining and scaling services already in production: performance work, observability, testing, incident handling\nStrong relational database skills; comfortable with API design and service-to-service contracts\nHands-on experience deploying and operating services on Kubernetes, including troubleshooting and incident response\nYou've used AI-assisted coding in your actual day-to-day, not just tried it once\nNice to have:Geospatial data experience (PostGIS or similar)\nRaster processing or satellite imagery background\nSpec-driven or test-driven development, agentic or otherwise\nExperience with a workflow orchestrator (Prefect, Airflow or similar)\nExperience running workloads on AWS\nExperience working across multiple teams on shared interfaces or contracts\nYou do not need all of the \"nice to haves,\" and you do not need to match every \"must have\" perfectly. If you read this and think you'd be a good fit but you're missing a line item, apply and tell us what you'd bring instead.\nWe especially encourage people from groups underrepresented in tech - including women, trans, non-binary, and intersex people - to apply. Engineering at LiveEO isn't as diverse as we want it to be, and we'd rather change that than just talk about it.\nYour Benefits\nThe opportunity to create a product that can improve business processes and lives across the globe.\nFlexible working hours and hybrid work model - we trust our employees to get their work done while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.\nWe empower employees to drive their own career development, take initiative and have the freedom to be creative and bold.\nNot an overtime culture - we take care that overtime is done only as a necessity and always offset with time off and rest.\nA collaborative and learning environment - frequent internal workshops, knowledge sharing sessions, journal clubs and hackathons.\nOffice located in the centre of Berlin Kreuzberg with free fruit, nuts and drinks.\nPotential to participate in the employee stock option program.\nUrban Sports membership and BVG subsidy, corporate pension program.\nA diverse and vibrant international environment of 30+ different nationalities.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5036,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule","Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Geospatial Analytics","Earth Observation","Geospatial AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T15:41:25Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":73,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/liveeo-senior-backend-engineer-fmx","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/liveeo-senior-backend-engineer-fmx.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T12:20:49Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16793,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":52433},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=52433"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fliveeo-senior-backend-engineer-fmx"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fliveeo-senior-backend-engineer-fmx"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fliveeo-senior-backend-engineer-fmx"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/liveeo-senior-backend-engineer-fmx\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fliveeo-senior-backend-engineer-fmx"}]}
