Planet

Planet's geospatial platform serves governments, agricultural companies, financial institutions, and researchers monitoring everything from methane emissions to supply chain disruptions. The company operates Tanager, a satellite specifically built for tracking greenhouse gas sources. As a publicly traded Public Benefit Corporation, Planet publishes annual impact and ESG reports, and its corporate charter requires balancing shareholder returns with measurable environmental and social outcomes.

The team spans offices in the US and Europe, with work arrangements varying by role: hardware and space operations positions are typically onsite, while many software engineering and commercial roles offer remote flexibility. Planet runs a Pledge 1% program where employees can dedicate up to 32 hours per year to community volunteering. The company's stated values, "Strive for openness" and "Be collaborative," show up in a culture that mixes aerospace engineering rigor with the iterative pace of a software company.
