Planet
Planet Labs PBC designs, builds, and flies its own fleet of Earth-imaging satellites, which photograph the planet's landmass every day, and sells the resulting imagery and geospatial analytics. Founded in 2010 by former NASA scientists, it is a public benefit corporation listed on the New York Stock Exchange, with offices across the United States and Europe.
Planet's Remote Policy
Planet publishes no remote or hybrid policy on its careers page. Two company-authored statements set the frame. Its annual report says:
"Many of our employees work remotely and we have adopted internal policies around flexibility, work from home expenses, and extra time off."
And the same sentence opens every open job posting:
"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."
The operative policy is the per-role cadence line further down each posting, and it is a structured hybrid. Around six in ten postings say a version of "This is a full-time, hybrid role which will require you to work from our San Francisco office 3 days per week." About one in ten requires five days a week in an office.
Read the remote postings carefully: most of them carry the line "If located near an office, you are expected to work from that office 3 days per week." Only a handful are remote with no office condition attached. Check the cadence sentence on the specific job before you apply.

Why Planet
Planet's public benefit charter sets a stated purpose: "to accelerate humanity toward a more sustainable, secure, and prosperous world by illuminating environmental and social change," and Planet publishes an annual impact report against it. It also runs a separate Planet Federal arm for US government work. The company owns its whole stack, designing and assembling the satellites, operating them, and running the platform that sells what they see, which is why a single job board carries opto-mechanical and manufacturing engineers next to platform software, data, and commercial teams.
The published culture is short and specific. Five one-line values sit on the careers page: Do good, Dream big, Drive for results, Be collaborative, Strive for openness. Planet describes its people as "a team of rocket scientists, software engineers, creatives, business strategists, and researchers" who "love breaking world records," and itself as "a community that is less about what you get, and more about what you give," with "a culture of generosity, responsibility and intentionality." There is no handbook, no how-we-work page, and no culture blog behind those lines, so the clearest signal about daily working life is the job postings, which state office cadence role by role.
