About the Role

We are looking for a Backend Software Engineer to help build the services that turn global satellite data into mission‑critical intelligence. Our team owns the backend platform behind a next‑generation monitoring product designed to provide near real‑time observability of any location on Earth.

This full‑time, hybrid position is based in our Ljubljana office (Slovenia). You will be expected to work from the office a minimum of 3 days per week.

• Implement well‑defined backend tasks and small features end‑to‑end, with guidance from senior engineers.
• Develop and maintain backend services in our Java + Spring monorepo.
• Contribute to our identity & access management stack (Keycloak).
• Help keep our CI/CD pipelines, release automation, and supporting infrastructure (Pulumi, Docker, AWS, GCP) healthy.
• Write clean, tested code; participate in code reviews; document what you build.
• Communicate progress clearly, ask for help early, and grow your domain knowledge through hands‑on work.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (or equivalent), technical certification, or comparable practical experience.
• Working knowledge of at least one programming language — ideally a JVM language (Kotlin or Java) — and willingness to ramp up quickly.
• Familiarity with the basics: version control (Git), REST APIs, and SQL.
• Professional working proficiency in English.
• Curiosity and a desire to learn how real‑world systems are built and operated.

• Hands‑on exposure to Spring or other JVM frameworks.
• Exposure to identity & access management concepts (OAuth2 / OIDC, Keycloak, SSO).
• Familiarity with cloud (AWS / GCP), Docker, or infrastructure‑as‑code tools.
• Experience leveraging AI tools (Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT) to learn faster and write better code.
• Experience in geospatial technologies, remote sensing, or agricultural monitoring.

• Paid time off including vacation, holidays and company‑wide days off.
• Employee Wellness Program.
• Home Office Reimbursement.
• Monthly Phone and Internet Reimbursement.
