Geospatial Engineer – Safety & Security

About Terramira Terramira is a new player in Earth Intelligence, born from the combined knowledge and experience of NEO, eLEAF, and 52impact. We translate satellite and sensor data into clear insights that help organizations make better decisions. We address diverse challenges in climate, water, agriculture, infrastructure, and nature—as well as safety and security, both domestically and internationally. Within our Safety & Security division, we develop solutions that give organizations real-time insight into what’s happening on and around the Earth—enabling preparedness and rapid recovery. Examples include terrain and infrastructure analysis for defense and support during emergencies. Our strength lies in combining geospatial data, remote sensing, AI, and domain expertise. We build technology and intelligence that isn’t just theoretically interesting—but actively used to support decision-making. We’re a growing organization with short communication lines, an open culture, and ample room for initiative. You’ll collaborate with colleagues across diverse expertise areas and have the opportunity to directly contribute to impactful solutions. What You’ll Do As a Geospatial Engineer, you’ll develop solutions that turn geospatial data into actionable intelligence for safety and recovery challenges. A prime example is a project focused on improving terrain passability: determining where and how well vehicles and other assets can move through a given area. Currently, many countries and organizations rely on their own maps, datasets, and standards—and analyses and data production are often manual and time-consuming. This leads to outdated maps and risks of miscommunication or poor decisions. We’re therefore building a scalable, standardized solution—where everyone works from the same up-to-date map and data. In this role, you’ll contribute to the technical development of this solution by working with diverse geospatial data sources—including satellite, radar, and drone data—and helping process them efficiently and at scale. Your responsibilities may include: Processing, managing, analyzing, and integrating multiple geospatial data sources Developing and improving geospatial workflows and data products Building solutions that scale across countries and users Researching how to integrate new data sources and techniques Collaborating with developers, data scientists, geospatial experts, and other specialists at Terramira You won’t work on isolated solutions. A core principle at Terramira is: Build once, Scale forever. New capabilities developed for Safety & Security can be reused across other customer applications—meaning your work strengthens Terramira as a whole. You’ll work across multiple Safety & Security projects, such as terrain analysis, infrastructure monitoring, and change detection in the physical environment—giving you the chance to deepen your geospatial expertise while delivering tangible operational impact. What We’re Looking For We’re looking for someone energized by geospatial data and passionate about solving complex geographic challenges. You have 2–5 years of relevant experience and are ready for a role where you can combine technical skills with real-world, mission-driven problems. You likely: Hold an HBO/WO degree (e.g., geoinformatics, GIS, geosciences, computer science, or similar) Have 2–5 years of experience with geospatial data, GIS, or geospatial software development Experience processing and analyzing geographic datasets Programming skills, especially in Python Interest in remote sensing and Earth observation data Strong analytical skills and enjoy untangling complex problems Ability to work independently while proactively collaborating with colleagues Fluent in both Dutch and English (written and spoken) Bonus experience (not required): PostGIS / PostgreSQL GDAL / GeoPandas / Rasterio OGC standards Cloud environments (e.g., AWS) Docker and CI/CD Hyperspectral, radar, and drone data Sovereign, independent environments What We Offer At Terramira, you’ll have room to grow and help shape a dynamic, evolving organization. You’ll tackle intellectually rich challenges using modern geospatial, cloud, and AI technologies—alongside colleagues with diverse expertise. You’ll enjoy: A full-time (32–40 hrs/week) contract Flexible working hours and hybrid work (2 days/week in Amersfoort, 1 day in Eindhoven) Offices located near the train station and city center 25 vacation days + option to buy an extra week A salary aligned with your experience and background Ample opportunities for personal and professional development Access to cutting-edge technology and complex geospatial challenges In short: a place where you’ll work on meaningful projects—and truly influence what your team and organization deliver.
