• You are familiar with the Python programming language and know the usual software structures for writing and maintaining high-quality code
• You are comfortable using Git and using CI/CD tools and working in unix-like environments
• You are used to taking initiative and have a problem-solving mindset
• You feel comfortable with English in everyday teamwork (German is not required)

Nice to have

• Experience with geospatial or remote sensing data
• Familiarity with cloud-native EO processing
• Contributions to open-source

#What you can look forward to
