Job Level

Lead

About the role

  • Make engineering at ICEYE feel better, flow better, and scale better.
  • Identify real delivery friction and test practical improvements in live contexts.
  • Design and implement solutions in collaboration with engineering domains and teams.
  • Lead cross-domain initiatives that improve engineering performance, growth, and culture through evidence and practice.
  • Work hands-on with engineering teams in real delivery contexts to identify friction and implement improvements.

Requirements

  • Staff–level (or equivalent) experience as a software engineer, with extensive hands-on delivery across different contexts (e.g. scale-ups, mature systems, legacy environments, cross-team setups).
  • Proven ability to use AI tools pragmatically to accelerate engineering work and learning - beyond experimentation or demos.
  • Experience leading cross-team initiatives without formal authority, operating well in ambiguity.
  • Communicate and influence clearly and credibly through written proposals, RFCs, documentation, and presentations.
  • Identify systemic bottlenecks and failure modes in engineering workflows by designing and operationalizing performance and AI-impact metrics (e.g. flow, quality, sustainability, developer experience).
  • Ability to make clear buy vs. build decisions, leveraging strong in-house engineering capabilities while evaluating third-party tools for fit, scalability, and long-term viability.
Benefits
  • - A job that matters in a dynamic Defence Technology and Earth Observation environment with a scale-up approach
  • - An independent role with a supportive and diverse work environment
  • - Occupational healthcare, occupational, and accident insurance
  • - A yearly benefit budget to spend as you wish (i.e. on sport, transport, bike benefit, wellness, lunch, etc.)
  • - Phone subscription with iPhone of choice
  • - Relocation support (i.e. flight tickets, accommodation, relocation agency support)
  • - Time for self-development, research, training, conferences, or certification schemes
  • - Inspiring and collaborating offices and silent workspaces enable you to focus
