  • Collect, document and report client feedback to guide future product development
  • Coordinate with the Revenue Team and Developer Team
• Client‑Facing Technical Role
  • Participation in client calls, onboardings, conferences/exhibitions, and technical workshops
  • Consult with clients to understand their technical needs and design appropriate processing solutions
  • Coordinate with the Revenue Team

Your profile

• Master’s degree (or higher) in Geophysics, Physics, Earth Sciences, or a related discipline
• Experience and strong understanding of marine geophysical survey methods and data processing workflows, including multibeam echosounders, sub‑bottom profilers, side‑scan sonars, and magnetometers
• Experience or strong affinity for software development, data analysis, or scientific programming (e.g., Python, Java)
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across interdisciplinary teams
• Motivation to learn new technologies, tools, and methods within software development and geospatial data processing
• Independent, structured work style with the ability to adapt to evolving project requirements

Why us?

• 4‑days‑week – We believe that (personal) time is the key to success. We value our employees and want to establish a culture of well‑being.
