Your tasks

Design, development and maintenance of asynchronous, microservice-based backend systems, primarily in Python for external customer projects and in parallel in Java Spring Boot for our own products.
Implementation and optimization of data processing and distribution pipelines that process large amounts of orbital, telemetry, and mission data.
Design and maintenance of message-based communication structures between microservices (e.g., via RabbitMQ or similar message brokers)
Close collaboration with space engineers and scientists to translate mission-related requirements into scalable and robust software solutions.
Shared responsibility for the backend architecture in both tech stacks, taking into account performance, fault tolerance, and maintainability.
Planning and documentation of implementation steps, from system architecture to deployment in a cloud-native environment
Ensuring code quality, automated testing, and compliance with security and development standards
Further development of CI/CD pipelines, observability and automation to support stable and continuous releases.
Analysis and resolution of complex problems in distributed systems with a focus on efficiency and reliability
Working in small, interdisciplinary teams, where you contribute your backend know-how to cross-functional projects.

Your profile

Must-haves

Degree in computer science, software engineering or a related field, or completed vocational training as an IT specialist
