Fullstack Engineer, Product Engineering

ICEYE is a Finnish space technology company that owns and operates the world's largest commercial synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite constellation. The company delivers continuous, all-weather, day-and-night Earth observation capabilities, enabling persistent monitoring and rapid detection of changes at any location on the planet. Its core offerings span SAR data products, mission systems for sovereign governments, defense and intelligence solutions, and natural catastrophe monitoring for the insurance, banking, and public sectors. ICEYE plays a significant role in climate resilience and disaster response by providing near real-time, observed data on natural catastrophes such as floods, wildfires, and hurricanes. Unlike traditional modelling approaches, ICEYE delivers actual satellite-derived flood extents and depths, empowering governments, insurers, and utilities to respond faster and more accurately to climate-driven disasters. This capability supports community resilience, more precise insurance claims processing, and informed policy decisions in the face of increasing climate risk. What distinguishes ICEYE is its combination of the largest SAR constellation globally, sub-meter (25 cm) resolution imagery, and an end-to-end operational intelligence infrastructure that includes deployable ground units capable of compressing collection-to-dissemination timelines to minutes. Founded with a mission to make Earth observation data continuously available and actionable, ICEYE serves defense, intelligence, government, and commercial clients worldwide, positioning itself as a critical enabler of both national security and climate adaptation efforts.

Description

Role highlights:

• Fullstack Engineer, Product Engineering

• Location: Finland, Espoo

• Department: Solutions

• Reports to: Engineering Manager / Team Lead

• Employment type: Permanent

• Workplace model: Hybrid

• Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO)

Why this role matters

We build software products that turn ICEYE’s satellite data and analytics into outcomes customers can rely on during real events such as floods, wildfires, and earthquakes.

This is a senior individual contributor role where you are expected to take ownership of your work and help deliver end-to-end product slices across backend and frontend. You help us ship frequently, keep systems supportable in production, and continuously reduce friction in how we build and run our products.

Who We Are

ICEYE delivers space-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to governments and allied nations. This includes sovereign and turnkey ISR missions leveraging ICEYE’s world-leading synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite technology, as well as access to data from the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation. These capabilities enable partners to detect and respond to critical changes anywhere on Earth with unprecedented speed and accuracy – day or night and in any weather, supported by ultra high-resolution imagery and high-frequency revisits.

As a trusted partner for defense, intelligence, security, and maritime domain awareness, ICEYE’s near real-time data creates a tactical advantage for mission-critical operations. Designed for dual use, the platform also serves civil protection and commercial users for natural-catastrophe intelligence, insurance, maritime monitoring (including oil-spill detection), and finance, contributing to global security and community resilience.

ICEYE is headquartered in Finland and operates globally across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. We have more than 900 employees, united by a shared vision: improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation.

Your day-to day responsibilities

• End-to-End Delivery: Own full product slices by building seamless functionality from backend APIs to frontend UIs, turning vague requirements into testable, production-ready code.

• Operational Excellence: Maintain system reliability by participating in on-call rotations and improving "observability" through meaningful alerts, clear logs, and automated runbooks.

• Process Optimization: Boost team velocity by identifying delivery bottlenecks such as slow CI or flaky tests, and automating away recurring toil to focus on novel engineering challenges.

• Pragmatic Engineering: Design simple, maintainable architectures that prioritize incremental changes, clear documentation, and high-quality code reviews to ensure safe deployments.

• Collaborative Leadership: Align with cross-functional partners (Product, Design, Data) to solve problems while mentoring peers through pair programming and shared technical context.
