If you dream about being a spy, but you don’t like Martinis, your place is with us!

We are expanding our teams in the Space sector to take on Space Traffic Management projects.

We’ll get to the point; we’ll tell you what’s not on the web. If you want to know more about us, go to the GMV website.

WHAT CHALLENGE WILL YOU BE TAKING ON?

GMV is looking for a highly motivated back-end developer for its activities in the areas of Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) and Space Traffic Management (STM), including related engineering activities. GMV engineers use cutting‑edge technologies to develop the solutions of the future. We are looking for engineers and developers who bring new ideas, new ways of working, and above all, passion for challenges. As an engineer, you will work on specific projects related to SST and STM with opportunities to switch team, location and project as GMV grows and evolves.

Space Traffic Management (STM) is becoming a more and more relevant topic in the space sector due to the need to manage the traffic of the population of objects orbiting the Earth, both space debris and operational satellites, which is growing currently and is expected to increase even more dramatically due to the launch of mega‑constellations. You will be integrated in GMV's SST multidisciplinary team located across several countries, with several projects currently on‑going.

In particular you will:

• Develop new functionalities in the backend side of a microservice‑based architecture.
• Design the data model – work with message brokers.
• Use and manage containers.

WHAT DO WE NEED IN OUR TEAM?

We are looking for experts in software development with background and interest in:

• Java (Spring Boot and Hibernate) or Python (Django, Flask, FastAPI).
• Linux.
• Docker.
• Relational Databases (PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL).
• REST API.

We will also value previous experience and knowledge in front‑end (React), background in aerospace or astrophysics and orbital mechanics.

WHAT DO WE OFFER?

Hybrid working model.

Four weeks per year of teleworking outside your usual geographical area.

Flexible start and finish times, and intensive working hours Fridays and in summer.

Personalised career plan development, training and language learning support.

National and international mobility. If you come from another country we can offer you a relocation package.

Competitive compensation with ongoing reviews, flexible compensation and discount on brands.

Well‑being program: health, dental and accident insurance; free fruit and coffee, physical, mental and financial health training, and much more!

In our recruitment processes you will always have telephone and personal contact, face‑to‑face or online, with our talent acquisition team. In addition, bank transfers and bank cards will never be requested. If you are contacted through any other process, please write to our team at [email protected].

We promote equal opportunities in recruitment, and we are committed to inclusion and diversity.
