We're handling petabyte-scale data with sub-second queries. Our product is a Kubernetes-based platform delivered as B2B SaaS or as a self-hosted on-prem solution, including air-gapped deployments. We enable customers across defense, law enforcement, and enterprise to turn mission-critical data into actionable intelligence.\nRole\nBuild geospatial features from the analyst's interaction on the map through to the services and queries behind it. You'll work across TypeScript/React, Go, and Python to turn imagery catalogs, spatial datasets, and analytical results into useful product capabilities.\nYou will extend an existing platform while helping establish new geospatial services and applications. Working with frontend engineers, data engineers, data scientists, and domain experts, you'll own complete features and the interfaces that make them reusable across products.\nWhat you'll do\nBuild complete analyst workflows: discover imagery, filter by area and time, add datasets to a map, inspect features, run spatial operations, and save or share the resulting workspace.\nDevelop TypeScript/React interfaces and Go/Python services, connecting interactive maps to catalogs, spatial queries, and processing jobs.\nDesign APIs for geospatial search, feature access, analysis requests, and job status, with clear validation, authorization, and error handling.\nImplement PostGIS queries for viewport filtering, spatial joins, proximity, and temporal exploration; profile query plans and choose suitable indexes and response formats.\nIntegrate geocoding and routing capabilities so location search and routing work seamlessly in Sentinel’s map-based workflows.\nBuild the path from catalog indexing and spatial discovery to retrieval and map display for COGs, PMTiles, and GeoParquet. Issue presigned URLs after authorization and support HTTP range requests, URL renewal, and caching so large assets remain usable throughout long map sessions.\nUse geospatial tools such as DuckDB Spatial, GDAL/PROJ, and GeoPandas alongside PostGIS, choosing appropriate formats and processing paths for interactive queries and analytical workloads.\nConnect imagery acquisition and processing capabilities to Sentinel's existing ingestion, orchestration, identity, and ontology services.\nWork with MapLibre and deck.gl, extending shared components and translating analytical outputs into clear map interactions.\nOwn testing, observability, documentation, and production troubleshooting for the features you ship. Use analyst feedback to improve both correctness and usability.\nAbout you\nSeveral years building production software, including geospatial applications or complex analytical interfaces.\nUniversity-level education in geoinformatics, geospatial engineering, computer science with a geospatial focus, or a related discipline.\nStrong TypeScript and React skills, plus practical backend experience in Go and Python. You can take a feature across API, database, and frontend boundaries.\nExperience with PostgreSQL/PostGIS, SQL, API design, and integrating asynchronous processing into user-facing applications.\nHands-on experience with MapLibre, deck.gl, OpenLayers, CesiumJS, or comparable mapping frameworks.\nA sound understanding of coordinate reference systems, geometry types, raster versus vector data, spatial indexing, and tiled or viewport-based access.\nGood engineering judgment around performance, security, testing, and maintainable service boundaries. You can investigate a slow map interaction across the whole request path.\nClear communication in English and the ability to work directly with designers, analysts, and other engineering teams. Eligible to work in Germany.\nNice-to-haves\nSTAC/pgSTAC, OGC APIs, TiTiler, Martin, or other geospatial catalog and serving technologies; H3 for spatial indexing and aggregation.\nFamiliarity with analytical data stacks using GeoParquet, Apache Arrow, and Apache Iceberg, and with tools such as QGIS or CARTO for exploring and validating spatial data.\nTanStack Query/Store/Router, Bun, and experience building shared React components or developer-facing APIs.\nTemporal, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, or delivery into self-hosted and air-gapped environments.\nSatellite imagery workflows, geospatial processing in Python, or integration of model inference into analytical products.\nHands-on experience with OSM data pipelines and the open-source geo toolset around them.\nExperience working in defence and intelligence environments or on related projects.\nStrong interest and practical ability in agentic software development: using coding agents to plan, implement, test, and review software, and keeping up with rapidly evolving tools, techniques, and trends.\nGerman language skills.\nWhat we offer\nOwnership of geospatial features that become part of a shared intelligence platform.\nA modern TypeScript, Go, and Python environment, with room to introduce well-founded technical improvements.\nDirect collaboration with GEOINT specialists, product teams, and the people using your work.\nRemote-first, Germany-wide: Work from wherever you do your best work, with regular team gatherings in Berlin and other off-site locations.\nFlexibility by default: Flexible working hours help you make work fit your life.\nYour setup, your way: Get a personal home-office equipment budget to create a workspace that works for you.\n30 days of vacation: Take the time you need to recharge and come back with fresh energy.\nKeep growing: We invest in your personal and professional development.\nGet rewarded for impact: Performance bonuses are tied to agreed objectives and key results.\nA warm welcome: Every new team member gets a welcome goodie bag.\nGood people, good times: From summer and Christmas parties to regular team gatherings, we make time to celebrate together.\n A mission that matters: Work on challenges with tangible impact on public safety and national security.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5993,"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":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate
