You will bridge the supplier’s architecture with evolving internal mission requirements.

- Supplier Integration: Build and maintain API bridges using webhooks and polling to ensure continuous updates from satellite data suppliers.
- Database Optimization: Manage PostgreSQL/PostGIS, ensuring efficient spatial queries and adherence to STAC metadata standards.
- Cloud Operations: Deploy and maintain containerized microservices in Kubernetes using Docker.
- Security & Identity: Maintain strong security posture through penetration testing and managing OIDC/OAuth2 flows via Keycloak.
Technical Requirements
- Backend: 4+ years with Python and FastAPI; strong async programming and Pydantic expertise.
- Frontend: Proficiency in React.js (Hooks, state management) and geospatial libraries such as Mapbox.
- Database: Experience with PostgreSQL and spatial optimization using PostGIS.
- DevOps/Cloud: Hands-on experience with Docker and deploying microservices in AKS.
- Security: Strong understanding of OIDC/OAuth2 and Keycloak integration.
Preferred Skills
