Within Leonardo's Space Division, e-GEOS, an ASI (20%) and Telespazio (80%) company, is one of the leading international operators in the Earth Observation and geospatial information sector and offers a unique portfolio of application services.

We're expanding our engineering capabilities around cloud-native geospatial platforms and Earth Observation (EO) services. We are looking for a Geospatial Platform Engineer to help design, develop and operate scalable software systems that enable discovery, access, processing and integration of geospatial and EO data across cloud and hybrid environments.

Within the "Chief Technological Innovation Office" organizational unit at the Rome office we are looking for a resource to cover the position of Geospatial Platform Engineer

This role contributes to the development of APIs, data services, geospatial catalogues and user-facing applications, while supporting the deployment and operation of services on modern cloud-native infrastructure. You will work closely with senior architects, software engineers, scientists and external partners to translate business and technical requirements into reliable, interoperable and production-ready solutions.

You will join a multidisciplinary engineering team and progressively take ownership of platform components, architecture decisions and integration activities as your experience grows.

This is an early-career position with a clear growth path toward technical ownership of geospatial platform architecture and cloud-native service development

What you'll do

Support activites of the Commercial User Terminal (CUT) as an operational platform for EO acquisition planning, Ground Segment interfaces, status management and decision traceability.

Evolve and integrate existing platforms such as SEonSE, AWARE, MapCy, AgriGeo, brAInt and CUT within the modular GIC architecture.

Develop reusable platform services, APIs and integration components while preserving each product’s domain-specific capabilities.

Apply open geospatial standards, including STAC and OGC APIs, to build interoperable catalogue, search and data-access capabilities.

Work with modern cloud-native geospatial formats and tooling, including COG, Zarr, GDAL/rasterio and Xarray.

Build and integrate REST APIs, backend services and data processing components following established software engineering practices.
