Planet Labs -- http://planet.com/ http://planet.com/ -- San Francisco, CA
(Remote work depends on the role -- some are onsite only, others may be available to remote workers.)
Planet Labs has a large number of positions open. We're a collection of electrical, mechanical, aerospace, software, science, etc. folks looking to image the whole planet on a daily basis with a large number of small satellites. It's a terrific bunch of folks doing what we call "agile aerospace".
I've personally been with the company for over a year, working on "Mission Control", an internal web app for managing the satellites and make life easier on our "Spaceship Captains" -- the operators who manage them. This is definitely one of the most interesting and fun roles I've had in my career (and I've had a few).
Python (Flask, Django) and Javascript (React, Backbone) are used heavily in the web projects. We of course have systems programming to do for the onboard software. Plenty of other interesting work from the satellite design and various subsystems, manufacturing, georectification of images, image corrections, dev ops, site reliability engineers, and heaps of possibilities with a supremely interesting dataset that we're growing.

- erobbins 11y agoIs it best to apply through the site? The ground station devops role seems like it was created for me :)
- zelahi 11y agoThis is a company I would love to work at. I really like what they are doing and the mission. Any way I can get in contact with a recruiter from there?
- uzi 11y agoYep -- simply apply for a role.
- starshadowx2 11y agoIs it possible for a non-American (Canadian) to apply?
- uzi 11y agoNow you guys are pushing it... J/K, yes, and we have several Canadians already employed at the company, as well as folks from some other countries.
- starshadowx2 11y agoDo you mean remote or actually getting to move to San Francisco?
- uzi 11y agoWorking in SF would certainly be an option for most (if not all) roles, and working remote in the US is an option for some roles. As for working remote outside the US ... we do have a few folks who do that. I believe there are hoops to jump through in some cases, but we'd jump through those hoops for the right people.
- paulvs 11y agoI applied for Embedded Systems Engineer, but since I'm looking for remote work, and I'm not sure if this position is remote, I'm going to apply for other positions as well (I have solid experience with web development on mobile and Objective-C on iOS). I hope this is OK.
- uzi 11y agoYes -- feel free to apply for all roles you're interested in.
