What do we do?
ICEYE is building and operating its commercial constellation of small Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites with SAR data available to customers. Our satellites acquire images of Earth at any time – even when it’s cloudy or dark – providing commercial and government partners with unmatched persistent monitoring capabilities. Information derived from our SAR images helps customers make data-driven decisions to address time-critical challenges in various sectors, such as maritime, disaster management, insurance, and finance.
What are we looking for?
To support the growth of the company, we are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to support our ICEYE Analytics in the Helsinki area, Finland. ICEYE Analytics is responsible for building Solutions products that enable near-real-time assessment of the impact of global natural catastrophes and geophysical change using remote sensing technology. These solutions empower end users to quantitatively make timely actions for event characterization, assessment, and response during stressful and uncertain times.
The role
As a Senior Data Engineer, you will help the Data Engineering team to build a highly scalable and resilient data platform and provide easy-to-use workflow and orchestration capabilities for our analytics users so that they can focus on their strengths. You will build scalable services and tools to help partners implement, deploy and analyze data assets with a high level of autonomy and limited friction. You will help ensure ML-powered products are scalable and robustly executed in a cloud-based environment against large geospatial datasets. You want to build best-in-class solutions using robust coding practices and the latest tech to excel analytics at ICEYE.

- You are an expert in SQL and have a good understanding of relational databases.
- You are proficient in infrastructure-as-code (Terraform).
- You have experience working with ML engineers to build tooling and automation to support the entire ML engineering lifecycle, from experimentation to production operations. Experience with KubeFlow, AWS Sagemaker, and Airflow would be great. We use Argo Workflows, AWS Batch, and Valohai for our workflows, so knowledge of those would help you a lot.
- We work with huge amounts of geospatial data, so having experience with those is a huge plus.
- You are able to effectively collaborate with cross-functional partners and explain sophisticated technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
- You are comfortable finding your own way and living well in the continuous stream of change that is inevitable in a start-up that is beginning to scale.
