Backend Developer (Python)

SpaceKnow provides transparency to global changes and trends by combining the world’s largest collection of satellite imagery with a proprietary artificial intelligence engine. Our vision is to index the physical world and empower users with near-realtime large-scale analysis to drive decision making.

SpaceKnow has two distinct products: a web-based, on-demand geospatial analytics platform (also available through API), as well as a growing suite of economic index offerings delivered through Bloomberg. The backend team ensures this can happen by creating a distributed and fault-tolerant platform that scales from couple to thousands of nodes.

Join a team of passionate Pythonistas and build systems like no one has ever done before!

Our daily bread is designing APIs, and improving scalability, security and stability of the platform.

All backend systems are accessible via RESTful APIs, hosted on Google Cloud Platform and written in Python.

We utilize technologies such as:

• Kubernetes
• Google Cloud Platform
• RabbitMQ
• Redis
• MongoDB

Our development process is test driven. We do code review on all changes or pair programming. We are building a continuous deployment ecosystem and have very agile/lean attitude. Every good idea is considered because we believe that meritocracy is the best way to lead skilled people.

We are looking for talented people rather than having specific requirements (Python, Java, C#, C++ or similar).

Joining Spaceknow, you will join a young team of talented and highly motivated people who strive to make an impact on the world but also have fun along the way.
