The Mission of the Senior Software Engineer (Telemetry)

Satellite telemetry does not forgive gaps. Build the systems that make sure there are none.

ICEYE's SAR constellation generates a continuous stream of data that fleet operations depend on to function. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Fleet Automation team, you will be a key contributor to the infrastructure that makes that data usable: the pipelines, parsers, and time-series stores that translate raw satellite signals into operational state in near real-time. The scope is expanding, the ownership is real, and the engineering problems are ones you will not find anywhere else.

Responsibilities

Ensure telemetry pipelines ingest, transform, and store satellite data reliably and in near real-time, with minimal manual intervention
Maintain performant and well-maintained telemetry data stores, including schema design, query optimization, capacity planning, and zero-downtime production migrations
Develop anomaly detection and automated recovery systems to reduce operational load on the mission operations team
Deliver TTC gateway telemetry integration as a production-grade component ready for customer deployment
Raise engineering quality across the team through code reviews, testing standards, and support of less experienced engineers

Requirements

Core Skills:
- Strong Python proficiency in production backend systems; experience with Go or Rust is a plus
- Proven experience building and operating telemetry systems, data pipelines, and distributed systems in production
- Strong working knowledge of PostgreSQL and at least one time-series database such as InfluxDB or Prometheus
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes-native environments, Docker, and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform and Helm
- Actively uses AI and LLM tooling as part of their engineering workflow
- AWS or equivalent cloud platform experience is a plus
Key Competences:
- Intellectual Firepower: Rapidly comprehends, structures, and synthesizes complex information, draws accurate conclusions, and communicates them with clarity.
- Passion and Work Ethic: Brings sustained motivation, resilience, and high personal standards to every challenge.
- Ownership and Action: Assumes full accountability for outcomes, acting decisively, and ensuring commitments are delivered.
- Team Player: Works collaboratively across teams, contributing to shared success, and engaging in constructive debate.
- Integrity and Growth Mindset: Operates with transparency and humility, learns from setbacks, and actively seeks opportunities to grow.
