One of our teams within the Space & Science business unit focuses on delivering solutions that facilitate automated processing of Earth Observation (EO) data, providing both automated and interactive analysis tools. For example, we offer an environment for scientific end-users to develop and test data processors, and deliver quality control systems for missions such as Biomass , Sentinel-1 , and Sentinel-5P . Our tools are also used for public services that enable scientists to retrieve and analyze EO data, especially related to atmospheric composition, e.g., NO2 over Europe.
We are looking for individuals who enjoy working with state-of-the-art (open-source) technologies and possess in-depth knowledge of software engineering.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop software within various projects and for the common toolstack.

- Nice-to-haves: experience with Nix/NixOS, Django, Jupyterlab, Openstack, front-end development, or scientific visualization.
- Fluent in English; Dutch language skills are a plus.
- Authorized to work in the Netherlands.
We also value candidates who:
- Enjoy working in a dynamic, high-tech environment.
- Have a passion for cloud infrastructure for scientific computing, especially Earth Observation data processing.
