Senior Infrastructure 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 Infrastructure Engineer

• Location: Espoo, Finland

• Department: Product Networking, Fleet Control and Satellite Communications

• 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 Infrastructure Engineer, you'll take ownership of the cloud networking foundations that connect ICEYE's satellite operations, ground systems, and customer deliveries at global scale. Our AWS footprint has grown faster than our ability to formally own and evolve it, and this new role exists to change that. You'll bring structure, automation, and reliability to environments that today are stitched together and reactively maintained, directly impacting mission critical ISR capabilities.

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.

• Hands-on experience with infrastructure automation and IaC tooling (Git, Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD pipelines)

• Ability to design, explain, and defend network architecture decisions (trade-offs, diagrams, review with peers)

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

Nice to haves:

• A background that evolved from classic networking into modern cloud environments

• Experience with on-premises networking hardware and physical infrastructure
