About this job

We are currently looking for a Software Engineer to join the team in Delft.

We are currently looking for a Software Engineer for our Space & Science business unit in Delft, the Netherlands, to work on the software development for our Data Processing and Analysis systems and services.

One of our teams within the Space & Science business unit is working on delivering solutions that facilitate automated processing of Earth Observation (EO) data, and provide both automated and interactive analysis of such data. For example, we provide an interactive environment for scientific end-users to develop and test their own data processors. Similarly, we deliver quality control systems for various missions such as Biomass, Sentinel-1, and Sentinel-5P, that monitor satellite instrument performance and perform validation (for example: https://mpc-vdaf-server.tropomi.eu/). Our toolchains are also used for public services that allow scientists to easily retrieve and analyze EO data, especially data concerned with the atmospheric composition (for example: NO2 over europe (https://maps.s5p-pal.com/). 

Currently, we are looking for people who enjoy working on state of the art (open-source) technologies and have in-depth knowledge of the software engineering domain.
