As we control every component of hardware design, manufacturing, data processing, and software engineering, our office is a truly inspiring mix of experts from a variety of domains.

Planet is a global company with employees working remotely world wide and joining us from offices in San Francisco, Washington DC, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and The Netherlands.
About the Role:
We are looking for a back-end developer who does not mind getting their hands dirty with a bit of database, front-end, and DevOps tasks here and there.
Agricultural Area Monitoring System for CAP is a collection of web applications, APIs, data services & analytics that is used for monitoring agriculture activities using satellite imagery. The system has been specifically designed for the needs of the European Union (EU) Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) compliance monitoring and is a full end-to-end service that combines and manages different data sources, advanced processing algorithms, distribution services, and end-user applications supporting National Paying Agencies (NPA) in managing and verifying CAP compliance.
The “am-apps” team is responsible for several system components and end-user applications that support the use of satellite imagery and geographical information in the business processes of the Slovenian National Paying Agency, including the system for recording and administration of Geospatial Aid Applications and the public-facing SOPOTNIK application that enables farmers to view the results of continuous monitoring and communicate with the agency.
