- Senior Frontend Software Engineer - Business Automation - Engineering - Location: Espoo, Finland - Reports to: Engineering Lead, Missions UI - Contract: Permanent - Hybrid, 3 days a week at the office - Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO) THE MISSION OF THE SENIOR FRONTEND SOFTWARE ENGINEER Build intuitive web interfaces that turn satellite tasking into transparent, reliable customer experiences. You will join the Missions UI, a team in ICEYE's engineering domain responsible for a customer-facing on-premise Web UI that enables tasking our satellite fleet and analyzing the resulting data. Our UIs cover the full lifecycle, from planning an imaging task on a map to successful product delivery, and that process has to be understandable, monitorable and transparent. You will work closely with product managers, UX designers and other engineers to design, build, operate and evolve these interfaces, with direct access to your users and their needs. Our stack is React, TypeScript and CSS, supported by a strong API ecosystem and modern frontend tooling. We value automated testing, continuous delivery, and modern code practices, including AI-assisted engineering with Cursor and Devin. You will work in a diverse and experienced team of engineers, collaborating across team and domain boundaries in a fast-moving, high-reliability environment. WHO WE ARE ICEYE delivers space-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to governments and allied nations. This includes sovereign and turnkey ISR missions leveraging ICEYE's world-leading synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite technology, as well as access to data from the world's largest SAR satellite constellation. These capabilities enable partners to detect and respond to critical changes anywhere on Earth with unprecedented speed and accuracy - day or night and in any weather, supported by ultra high-resolution imagery and high-frequency revisits. As a trusted partner for defense, intelligence, security, and maritime domain awareness, ICEYE's near real-time data creates a tactical advantage for mission-critical operations. Designed for dual use, the platform also serves civil protection and commercial users for natural-catastrophe intelligence, insurance, maritime monitoring (including oil-spill detection), and finance, contributing to global security and community resilience. ICEYE operates internationally with offices in Finland, Poland, Spain, Japan, the UAE, Greece, and the US. The company has more than 900 employees, inspired by the shared vision of improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation.
