Job description
how these teams operate for years, directly underpinning a capability that contributes to the defence of Europe. Who We Are ICEYE delivers space-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to governments and allied nations. This includes sovereign and turnkey ISR missions leveraging ICEYE's world-leading synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite technology, as well as access to data from the world's largest SAR satellite constellation. These capabilities enable partners to detect and respond to critical changes anywhere on Earth with unprecedented speed and accuracy, day or night and in any weather, supported by ultra high-resolution imagery and high-frequency revisits. As a trusted partner for defence, intelligence, security, and maritime domain awareness, ICEYE's near real-time data creates a tactical advantage for mission-critical operations. Designed for dual use, the platform also serves civil protection and commercial users for natural-catastrophe
Requirements
intelligence, insurance, maritime monitoring including oil-spill detection, and finance, contributing to global security and community resilience. ICEYE is headquartered in Finland and operates globally across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. We have more than 900 employees, united by a shared vision: improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation. Your day-to-day responsibilities - Container environments and compute infrastructure. Kubernetes clusters, resource management, networking, storage, access control, and compute capacity that teams can build on. You own the environments, you keep them healthy, and you design them with an on-premises-first approach from day one, even if we also run them in the cloud. - Deployment and environment tooling. Reproducible, reliable deployment pipelines. Infrastructure-as-code that teams can understand and extend. Environments that can be spun up, torn down, and updated without drama. - On-premises environments. Everything we build will eventually run in customer environments that are not cloud-based. This constraint shapes infrastructure choices from the start: portable deployments, well-defined infrastructure contracts, and clean separation between what the platform provides and what the applications consume. You will design the infrastructure so that the stack works the same on-premises as in the cloud. - Networking and access management. Service-to-service communication, ingress, network policies, secrets management, and the access control patterns and services that keep things secure without slowing teams down. - Whatever comes next. GPU compute provisioning for signal processing workloads, security hardening, integration with IceOS platform services, or capabilities that emerge as the teams grow. You will help define what the infrastructure becomes. What we're looking for Must haves: - Strong infrastructure and platform engineering fundamentals. You have built and operated the infrastructure that other teams depend on. You understand what it means to be a platform team: your users are engineers, your SLAs are their productivity, and your failures cascade. You have opinions about how to do this well, grounded in experience. - Container orchestration in production. You have designed, deployed, and operated Kubernetes or equivalent environments in production. You understand networking, storage, resource management, and the operational realities of keeping these environments healthy. This is the core of what you will own. - Infrastructure-as-code and deployment automati
