Senior Cloud Network Engineer

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.

Role highlights:

• Senior Cloud Network Engineer

• Location: Espoo, Finland or Berlin, Germany

• Department: Product Networking

• Reports to: Engineering Manager

• Employment type: Permanent

• Workplace model: Hybrid (3 days per week in office)

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

Why this role matters:

As a Senior Cloud Network Engineer, you'll help build the network behind a mission that matters: we defend nations and protect environments from space. ICEYE's satellite operations, ground systems and customer deliveries depend on cloud and hybrid networks that have to hold up when it matters most. You'll be one of the go-to experts for how those networks are architected in AWS and connected to the rest of our infrastructure, leading the subsystems you own and shaping how the team builds them. Few network engineers get to work on infrastructure like this.

Who We Are

ICEYE 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.

ICEYE 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.

ICEYE-built constellations serve customers in defence and intelligence, environmental monitoring, insurance and emergency management. We enable fast decisions that contribute to a safer future.

Founded and headquartered in Finland, ICEYE operates globally with over 1000 employees across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.

Your day-to-day responsibilities

• Design and evolve ICEYE's AWS network architecture, including VPCs, Transit Gateways, Direct Connects and VPN connectivity

• Connect cloud environments securely to ground stations, data centers and on-premises sites

• Manage cloud network infrastructure as code with Terraform and version-controlled change through CI/CD

• Act as a go-to expert for deep network issues in production, and put patterns and guardrails in place that prevent them from coming back

• Shape how the team designs, reviews and documents network changes, with the impact on other teams in mind

• Own critical production systems with a focus on reliability, observability and security against real-world threats

What we're looking for

Must haves:

• A solid network engineering foundation built in data center, service provider or enterprise network environments

• Strong experience with BGP and routing across hybrid cloud and on-premises environments

• Infrastructure as code for networking with Terraform, Git and CI/CD pipelines

• Experience with secure network design, including firewalling, segmentation and zero trust access

• Ability to lead network architecture decisions and to explain and defend the trade-offs with peers

• Pragmatic, collaborative mindset with the ability to balance technical quality with business needs

Nice to haves:

• Software development experience, especially for network applications and automation (for example Python or Go)

• Strong Linux networking skills
