Job description
Earth observation is changing the way we tackle society's biggest challenges. Geo-information provides the insights that enable smarter decision-making in countless sectors. Our company was born out of a merger of four proven earth observation companies (NEO, eLEAF, Sensar and 52impact). This combination places new demands on our infrastructure and our ability to rapidly process large geospatial datasets.
As a member of a small team of developers, you will take our agricultural monitoring to the next level. Currently, NEO already provides monitoring tools and services to three different countries on a huge, nationwide scale. Do you have what it takes to bring together the lessons and knowledge gained from these three services into an optimised processing pipeline that will enable us to expand our services across Europe and the wider commercial market? For this, you need the ability to design a structured system from a complex structure of classes, and deploy this into our cloud computing system running on Dagster and Ray.
This role is for you if you enjoy diving into complex problems, independently or with a team. You communicate effectively, are proactive and actively seek new opportunities, while identifying problems in a timely manner. You have a hands-on mentality and an affinity for innovation and development. You are involved in the further growth of our company and have plenty of room to take initiative. Would you like to help us streamline and automate our data and production pipelines? Join us and make a difference.
