Senior Python Engineer Offline

Project Overview:

Our customer is a new effort to bring world-class imagery to internet-scale cloud services. Their backbone is the best-in-class UltraCam hardware; the job is to work with worldwide partners to take this aerial imagery and build a scaled-out cloud service that supports industry and government agencies. Our client is building on leading cloud technologies. They are partnering with several leading GIS providers; expertise and/or background in GIS capabilities is a huge plus.

We are looking for someone who can automate things in the cloud where possible e.g. continuous deployment vs. pushing to production. Skills with AWS are crucial; Azure is a nice win. Knowing Internet-standard tools is important as we build this platform.

- Education: BS in Computer Sciences or similar preferred; comparable industry experience sufficient;

- Languages: Spoken and written English are critical; as a distributed team we are on Slack and video calls often. Familiarity with German is a plus;

- Develop code in Python to automate data processing pipelines in the cloud and data center;

- Strong experience with Linux (CentOS, Ubuntu) operating systems, including working with file systems, networking, and system processes in a performant manner;

- Familiarity with building and deploying Docker containers;

- Image processing or spatial data experience is a strong plus;
