Up for a challenge? Terabytes of geospatial data, billions of polygons, and the complex mechanics of machine learning — all to make Earth observation data accessible to everyone. At FlyPix, we work hard to transform the complex domain of geospatial AI into a simple-to-use platform, which is a big and demanding task. Our team consists of passionate and skilled professionals who enjoy working shoulder-to-shoulder to make the vision of accessible Earth observation a reality.
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Lead Software Engineer to support the development of our SaaS platform. This is a hands-on leadership role where you will design, build, and scale our cloud-based solution, working across the entire stack—from infrastructure to frontend. You will collaborate closely with technical and business team members, mentor developers, and help define the technical vision for the platform.
About the Role
As a Lead Engineer, you will be responsible for driving the design and implementation of the key platform components, specifically:
* Architect distributed systems and microservices optimized for performance and resilience.
* Manage cloud-agnostic infrastructure using Terraform and Kubernetes.
* Develop and maintain backend services using TypeScript and Python.
* Drive the development of our frontend applications built with ReactJS.
* Support and optimize data workflows related to Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and Geospatial Processing.
* Mentor team members and contribute to a strong engineering culture through code reviews and design discussions.
About You
The qualifications you need to be a successful candidate include:
* 7+ years of professional software development experience.
* Track record of building distributed applications. A profound knowledge of system design and software architecture is required.
* Solid experience in building Machine Learning centric software. ML platforms introduce extra dimensions to software engineering.
* A mindset of quick learning and knowledge sharing. Strong fundamentals are essential, but must still be applied in an ever-changing world.
* Attention to detail. Little things matter as they differentiate cool products from ordinary ones. As a tiny attention test, in your application, you’ll be asked about the number of geospatial products you worked with. The correct answer is 42.
* A passion for solving complex challenges and going the extra mile. You’ll feel at home in a team of like-minded thinkers.
Your Benefits
* Full-time / Full remote position — as a remote-first company, we aim to combine top performance with work-life balance.
* Employee options scheme — in addition to the salary, your hard work will pay off in the long term.
* Culture of openness and innovation — you are in the right place to express your ideas and build something cool.
* Professional development — knowledge sharing, mentorship, and educational resources to help you grow.
We love code more than resumes. Your resume is best if it contains a link to your GitHub, where you have some cool projects to show.
