For example, we provide an interactive environment for scientific end-users to develop and test their own data processors. Similarly, we deliver quality control systems for various missions such as Biomass , Sentinel-1 , and Sentinel-5P, that monitor satellite instrument performance and perform validation (for example: https://mpc-vdaf-server.tropomi.eu/ ). Our toolchains are also used for public services that allow scientists to easily retrieve and analyze EO data, especially data concerned with the atmospheric composition (for example: NO2 over europe ( https://maps.s5p-pal.com/ ).

Currently, we are looking for people who enjoy working on state of the art (open-source) technologies and have in-depth knowledge of the software engineering domain.
