Senior Cloud Network Engineer

Role highlights:

• Senior Cloud Network Engineer

• Location: Espoo, Finland or Berlin, Germany

• Department: Product Networking

• Reports to: Engineering Manager

• Employment type: Permanent

• Workplace model: Hybrid (3 days per week in office)

• Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)

Why this role matters:

As a Senior Cloud Network Engineer, you'll help build the network behind a mission that matters: we defend nations and protect environments from space. ICEYE's satellite operations, ground systems and customer deliveries depend on cloud and hybrid networks that have to hold up when it matters most. You'll be one of the go-to experts for how those networks are architected in AWS and connected to the rest of our infrastructure, leading the subsystems you own and shaping how the team builds them. Few network engineers get to work on infrastructure like this.

Who We Are

ICEYE is the world leader in sovereign intelligence from space. We deliver persistent monitoring capabilities to detect and respond to changes in any location on Earth.

ICEYE owns the world's largest and most advanced SAR (synthetic aperture radar) satellite constellation. To our customers we provide intelligence with unmatched quality, latency and revisit times, in any weather, day or night. To governments who choose to operate their own constellation we provide this proven capability as a sovereign system.

ICEYE-built constellations serve customers in defence and intelligence, environmental monitoring, insurance and emergency management. We enable fast decisions that contribute to a safer future.

Founded and headquartered in Finland, ICEYE operates globally with over 1000 employees across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.

Your day-to-day responsibilities

• Lead multi-sprint work on the cloud network subsystems you own, from architecture through rollout and day-to-day operation

• Design and evolve ICEYE's AWS network architecture, including VPCs, Transit Gateways, Direct Connects and VPN connectivity

• Connect cloud environments securely to ground stations, data centers and on-premises sites

• Manage cloud network infrastructure as code with Terraform and version-controlled change through CI/CD

• Act as a go-to expert for deep network issues in production, and put patterns and guardrails in place that prevent them from coming back

• Shape how the team designs, reviews and documents network changes, with the impact on other teams in mind

• Own critical production systems with a focus on reliability, observability and security against real-world threats

What we're looking for

Must haves:

• A solid network engineering foundation built in data center, service provider or enterprise network environments

• Extensive hands-on experience designing and operating network architecture in AWS, including VPCs, Transit Gateways, Direct Connects and VPNs

• Strong experience with BGP and routing across hybrid cloud and on-premises environments

• Infrastructure as code for networking with Terraform, Git and CI/CD pipelines

• Experience with secure network design, including firewalling, segmentation and zero trust access

• Ability to lead network architecture decisions and to explain and defend the trade-offs with peers

• Pragmatic, collaborative mindset with the ability to balance technical quality with business needs

Nice to haves:

• Software development experience, especially for network applications and automation (for example Python or Go)

• Strong Linux networking skills

Application Process

• TA Partner Screen Call

• Hiring Manager Interview

• Technical Interview

• Values & Fit Interview

• SVP of Engineering Interview
