Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, Docker Compose).
Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or similar tools.
Proficiency in SQL databases and version control workflows (Git).
Experience working in Agile/SCRUM teams.
Familiarity with CCSDS or ECSS data communication standards.
Experience in Ground Segment or mission operations software.
Knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS or Azure).
Awareness of software security best practices and coding standards.
What’s on Offer
Opportunity to work with a diverse, international team developing world-class space technology.
Flexible working hours and a supportive environment.
Hybrid working model (office/home-based).
Optional compressed working week (9/75 pattern).
25 days holiday (increasing annually up to 28) plus bank holidays.
Private healthcare, life insurance, and long-term sick pay.
