Senior Full-stack Python Developer

Build the Market Leader in Satellite Analytics with us at LiveEO

We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to lay the technical foundations of a new product within our Government team; shaping it from early prototypes to a scalable, production-ready solution. Concretely, this is the defence and security domain: we build for governmental and armed-forces customers, with the German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr) among them. You’ll work across the full product lifecycle, from rapidly building and iterating on prototypes, to integrating with existing platforms and external partners, to establishing the architecture and engineering practices that will support long-term growth.

We’re on a mission to break the “curse of Earth Observation”: turning incredible satellite data into reliable, actionable decisions that people can trust and use in real operations. You’ll have high ownership from day one, with the opportunity to turn ideas into working systems in tight, iterative cycles using a modern TypeScript and Python stack and to define the technical direction of a product from its very first lines of code.

You’ll partner with teams building core platform components and AI-driven features, ensuring seamless integrations and aligning on shared architecture, data flows, and interfaces. TypeScript (backend and frontend)

Python (data engineering)

GDAL , Rasterio , STAC ( EO data handling and standardization)

PostgreSQL (metadata / operational data)

Rapidly design and build end-to-end prototypes (TypeScript & Python), translating ambiguous requirements into functional, testable systems that validate product direction.

Define and implement integrations with existing platforms and services (internal and external), ensuring clean interfaces, reliable data flows, and extensibility for future development.

Take ownership of early architectural decisions (service boundaries, data models, deployment patterns), balancing speed of iteration with long-term maintainability.

Contribute across the stack—from backend services and APIs to frontend interfaces—ensuring a cohesive and usable end-to-end experience.

Strong engineering fundamentals in TypeScript and Python, with a focus on writing clean, maintainable, and well-structured code.

Experience building full stack applications, including backend services, APIs, and modern frontend interfaces.

Experience designing and implementing integrations between systems (APIs, data pipelines, third-party services).

Solid understanding of software architecture and system design, with the ability to make pragmatic trade-offs in early-stage environments.

Experience with modern web frameworks (e.g., Understanding of data pipelines and working with data-intensive applications.

Familiarity with geospatial data or Earth observation is a plus.
