Jobbeschreibung

Our Mission

At constellr, we’re harnessing the power of space to solve one of Earth’s greatest challenges: climate resilience & security in a changing world. Our thermal satellite constellation delivers the most accurate land surface temperature data on the market, equipping commercial players, governments, defence agencies, and global institutions with the thermal intelligence they need to make strategic decisions—from national security and infrastructure to agriculture and climate resilience. As a fast‑scaling company with offices in Brussels, Freiburg, Munich, Washington, and Toulouse, our multidisciplinary team of engineers, scientists, and strategists is building the future of space‑based Earth observation.

Your Role

We operate a cutting‑edge Data Platform that transfers satellite data to the cloud, where it is processed, enriched, and delivered as analysis‑ready geospatial data to both internal and external customers. Alongside this, we manage the cloud infrastructure supporting satellite operations—from tasking software to monitoring and alerting systems.

As our senior cloud engineer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping, developing, and operating this cloud environment, with a strong focus on operational excellence. You’ll design and implement robust infrastructure using modern technologies such as Python, S3, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Terramate, Ansible, Zarr, ArgoCD, Cloud‑Optimized GeoTIFFs, STAC, PostGIS, and more. Mentor and guide junior engineers, helping them grow their technical expertise and reach their full potential.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate closely with fellow cloud engineers, and stakeholders from software, product, and image segment teams, ensuring infrastructure meets their needs.
• Design and implement key components of our Cloud‑Native Geospatial Data Platform, enabling efficient data acquisition, distribution, and analysis, while also supporting the Mission Operations team in safely controlling our satellites.
• Build, maintain, and evolve a state‑of‑the‑art cloud environment that empowers all engineering teams with the best tools, workflows, and methodologies—taking ownership of improvements aligned with company objectives.
• Continuously evaluate and adopt new technologies, frameworks, and standards to keep our platform modern and effective.

Location

This position is offered on a hybrid or remote basis in Germany, France, or Belgium. We have offices in Munich, Berlin, and Freiburg (Germany), Toulouse (France), and Brussels (Belgium). Occasional travel to Germany for team meetings should be expected.

About You

• A motivated, curious, and inquisitive team player with a can‑do attitude, unafraid to challenge the status quo and eager to turn ideas into action. While the team enjoys great autonomy, you work collaboratively to find the best solutions that ensure scalability, security, and cost efficiency.
• An engineer who embraces DevSecOps principles, infrastructure‑as‑code, CI/CD, TDD, and any tools that help deliver better products with less effort. You aim to be a force multiplier, maximizing impact across the organization.
• Relevant professional experience aligned with the tasks described above, including a proven track record in building cloud environments in fast‑paced and largely remote settings.
• Strong hands‑on experience with Kubernetes.
• Solid experience with AWS, particularly S3, EKS, EC2, and IAM.
• Fluent in English.

Nice to Have

• Have worked in the EO sector and/or NewSpace startups.
• Have sysadmin, DevOps, and/or networking experience.
• Have some experience in Cloud and Enterprise Security topics.
• Have any other experiences that you believe would bring extra value to the team.

Why constellr?

• Be part of an ambitious mission to launch the world’s first commercial thermal infrared constellation.
• Flexible work setup with remote and hybrid options.
• Competitive compensation, including Virtual Share Option Plan (VSOP) for permanent employees.
• Join a team committed to diversity, inclusion, and scientific excellence.

At constellr, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming workplace. We are an equal‑opportunity employer and believe that diversity fuels innovation, creativity, and the ability to tackle complex challenges effectively. We encourage individuals from all walks of life to join us on our mission to reduce global food insecurity.
