Mitiga Solutions
is a spin-off of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, home to MareNostrum - one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe. With roots in cutting-edge climate science, we're building solutions that make climate risk insights transparent, defensible, and scalable.
Our mission: help organizations measure, report, and act on physical climate risk.
Through our platform
EarthScan
, we turn world-class science into decision-ready intelligence, trusted by global insurers, asset managers, and corporates.
If you're excited about using technology to drive climate resilience, this role is for you.
We're looking for a
Backend/Data Engineer
to help us design, scale, and optimize the pipelines that transform raw climate data into meaningful, decision-ready insights.
What You'll Do:
* Design and implement robust APIs and backend systems to keep data and services flowing smoothly.
* Orchestrate complex workflows using Argo, Airflow, Prefect, or similar tools.
* Work with modern cloud infrastructure (Azure preferred, but AWS/GCP also valued).
* Automate and improve CI/CD pipelines, GitHub workflows, and deployment processes.
* Establish and uphold coding standards, ensure maintainable tests, and prioritize scalability and reliability.
* Contribute to architectural decisions, mentor teammates, and elevate engineering best practices.
* Thrive in a startup environment that values adaptability, thoughtful pragmatism, and long-term thinking.
What We're Looking For:
* Solid experience with Python (or similar languages) and backend development.
* Strong understanding of API design (FastAPI or similar frameworks).
* Familiarity with the testing pyramid and writing maintainable, reliable test suites.
* Proficiency with GitHub and CI/CD workflows.
* Hands-on experience with cloud platforms, ideally Azure.
* A track record of contributing to technical decisions and setting engineering standards.
* A collaborative mindset- you enjoy mentoring, pairing, and sharing knowledge.
* Fluency in English (C1 required); Spanish is a plus.
* 4+ years of experience in backend or data engineering roles.
Nice to Have:
* Experience with workflow orchestration (Argo, Airflow, Prefect, etc.).
* Ability to bridge backend and data engineering.
* Knowledge of containerization/orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
* Personal interest in climate, sustainability, or impact-driven technologies.
