Description:

UP42 was founded in 2019 with a clear purpose: to transform how organizations order, access, and analyze Earth observation data. Our platform brings together the world’s leading geospatial providers, and offers a single touchpoint to access, manage, and process data at scale.

• Commitment to a working student role for a minimum duration of 12 months

• Ability to work up to 20 hours per week during the semester

• English proficiency at C1 level or higher with clear writing skills

• Practical experience writing non-academic documentation

• Proven track record of cross-team collaboration with technical stakeholders

Bonus points if you bring:

• Working knowledge or background in geospatial science

• Experience with markup languages and version control systems 

• Experience with Python, Swagger, and Jupyter notebooks

Let us tell you why UP42 is a good choice:

• Let's disrupt the industry: You get the chance to shape the state-of-the-art geospatial processing platform and create a completely new planetary perspective.

• Let's stay flexible: We practice a hybrid working model - you can choose when to work from the comfort of your home or join your colleagues in our modern office in the heart of Kreuzberg.

• Let's win as a team: We're an inspiring international team working in a fun and productive environment.

• Let's think outside of the box: There are challenges and enough space for creativity and taking ownership.

Does this sound like a good next step into your geospatial career? If so, we look forward to receiving your application in English.

Our culture is one of belonging, where everyone feels welcome and where differences are celebrated. We seek to recruit the best talent regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic background and/or belief—and strongly encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply. We also value more than the skills and experiences outlined in this job description. Even if you think you only fill 60% of the requirements for this role - we would still like to consider your application.
