Front End Developer

We started out by wanting to make satellite imagery available to all. We’ve grown to understand it’s even more powerful when you match it to real business needs.

Bird.i is a fast growing “big data from space” start-up backed by private investors.

We have unique partnerships with the world’s leading satellite and airborne operators, giving us access to an unprecedented amount of Earth observation imagery.

We’re determined to make it accessible, affordable and usable, putting the end user at the heart of the process, so that we provide a service that delivers smoothly, efficiently and effectively. Over and over again.

If you have a web application development background, with experience in modern technologies like React.js and Angular, and you believe you’ve got what it takes to work in a super dynamic and ambitious start-up; developing products that will change our understanding of the world, then this might be your chance.

We are building a great team of developers and engineers who can develop, operate and maintain our web applications and tools.

  • Iron out a bug or two from the previous day and deploy
  • Enjoy your lunch while hearing from a fellow employee about a topic of interest
  • Spend the afternoon peer programming with a team mate
