About the role
Build the Market Leader in Satellite Analytics with us at LiveEOYou will work on applications that use deep learning and satellite data and other data sources to help companies and governments fight deforestation, monitor critical infrastructure, and respond faster and more precisely to natural disasters. Our aim is to empower any user in the world to harness the power of earth observation satellites to simplify and improve their daily work.
As one of the most senior engineers on our product team, you will architect, design and implement new features and refactorings from initial idea to production release and then monitoring and maintenance, often in temporary cross-functional squads. Concrete topics you would work on are, for example, the rendering and querying of large volumes of geospatial data efficiently in mobile app, browser and backend, writing the database queries that make that fast, implementing smart logic on this data and building integrations for the growing number of third-party consumers of our services.
Your challengeKey responsibilitiesBuild and extend features end-to-end that handle large volumes of geospatial data, with attention to UX and design
Architect and build services that integrate large amounts of heterogenous data to enable users to prioritize a vast number of competing tasks
Own the next major evolution of our public API
Drive the continuous development of our agentic solutions
Lead cross-functional teams, driving new feature developments from very early in a topic, through discovery, design, architecture to release and maintenance. Take real ownership
How we work
Our development lifecycle is a pragmatic scrumban: structured enough to coordinate, loose enough to move fast. Engineers here have real autonomy - you will make plenty of decisions yourself, and you will have senior engineers to think out loud with on the ones that carry more weight. Asking is normal here, at every level.
We take agentic development seriously but we are, sometimes painfully, aware of its limits. Tickets with solid acceptance criteria become agentic specs that agents implement in test-driven setups. Code review is a mix of agent and human - whichever is most effective for the change at hand. We ship to production at least weekly. And we actively encourage engineers to keep coding and debugging manually to stay sharp; the goal is augmented engineers, not engineers who've forgotten how to program.
StackFrontend: React, Typescript
Backend: NestJS, Prism, Typescript
Database: PostgreSQL (including geospatial workloads)
Infrastructure & CI/CD: Gitlab
Your profileMust haveExpert backend experience with ideally NestJS, Express, or Node.js
A very good understanding of cloud architecture
Solid TypeScript and React in production (Vue, Preact or Angular also fine — we care that you know a component model well, not which one)
You've used AI-assisted coding in your actual day-to-day, not just tried it once
Nice to haveSpec-driven or test-driven development, agentic or otherwise
Python - even better if you were previously exposed to many other different programming paradigms
Web-based geospatial / GIS work
An eye for design and UX — enough to make small design calls without needing a mockup for everything
You do not need all of the "nice to haves," and you do not need to match every "must have" perfectly. If you read this and think you'd be a good fit but you're missing a line item, apply and tell us what you'd bring instead.
