SERTIT, a platform from the ICube Laboratory of University of Strasbourg, aims to extract and format information from image data produced by Earth Observation systems. It is at the crossroads between remote sensing applied research, digital technologies, operational services, and user needs.   
SERTIT transforms space-borne Earth Observation data into geo-information, which can easily be used in  decision-support  systems. From  the  perspective  of  space  serving the Earth, the  foundation of  our service offer is that we continuously account for user wishes and needs, the growing potential offered by space technologies, and the latest developments in remote sensing applied research.     
We are looking for a Python Development Engineer to help SERTIT leverage, automate and accelerate development processes. His role will include distributed and cloud-native computing.

The role
- Development and optimization of scientific algorithms for the exploitation of satellite imagery, especially using cloud-native and distributed technologies.
- Take  a  leading  role  in  automating  the  processes  of  development,  testing  and  releasing software allowing for continuous delivery of software.
- Closely  collaborate  with  a  team  of  geoscience  and  remote  sensing  engineers  to  define functional and technical aspects of algorithm development.
- Being an active member of SERTIT’s Rapid Mapping Service of SERTIT, involved in map production within the framework of several international satellite-based emergency response mechanisms (training provided). This is a 24/7 service and involves on-call duty and sometimes working nights and weekends.

Must have technical skills
- Advanced Python Programming:
            - Experience with geospatial Python libraries such as rasterio, xarray, geopandas...
            - Experience with distributed computing Python libraries such as dask
            - Notions of cloud-native formats (COG, Zarr, ...)
- Expertise in continuous integration, deployment and delivery (GitHub, Gitlab or similar; Docker or similar)
- Can do attitude, innovative, analytical, rigorous, ... at SERTIT, you do what is needed, and in collaboration with the team, you also have the freedom to create your own professional space
- Good level of technical English
- Ability to perform on-duty assignments

Nice to have technical skills 
- Experience in distributed computing:
            - Knowledge of threading, multiprocessing, and concurrent programming.
            - Knowledge of data pipeline tools like Apache Airflow.
            - Experience with message brokers like RabbitMQ.
- Experience with cloud-native frameworks:
            - Proficiency with cloud providers like AWS.
            - Experience with asynchronous programming.
- Knowledge of performance optimization techniques and tools.
- Experience with automated analysis of satellite, aerial, or multispectral imagery is a plus.

Prior professional experience is not required, but first experience including software development is a plus.
We  offer  a  unique  environment  for  dynamic  people  looking  to  develop  their  own  skills  in  an international team. Flexible working hours and a very good vacation package are on offer. 

Furthermore,  and  depending  on  your  professional  experience  please  send  your  Internship  Report and/or personal reference(s) in the case of professional experience. If you have a portfolio or a GitHub link, include it in your application, we’d love to see you work!
