About the position

Our team develops and operates a platform (Data as a Service, Data Platform) for users to register observation requests on the StriX(the series of small SAR satellite constellations) and distribute observation data to users.

Responsibilities

  • Function repair. Based on feedback from the sales team, we define the requirements for functional refurbishment, design, implement, and test.
  • New function development. Work with the satellite operations team to define, design, implement, and test new feature requirements and constraints.
  • Operation automation. Discuss the tasks that can be automated in the operation with the parties concerned, and perform automation and optimization.

Requirements

  • Independence to voluntarily communicate with other teams, set requirements and restrictions, and proceed with development
  • Intellectual curiosity that wants to know knowledge in unknown fields such as artificial satellite operation and satellite data
  • More than 3 years of software development experience
    • Web service backend development experience
    • RDB data schema design experience
    • Experience in system development of web services on the cloud (Google Cloud, AWS, Azure)
