We build space systems end-to-end, from satellite design and manufacturing to launch and on-orbit operations, giving us the ability to deploy quickly, operate reliably, and support persistent monitoring across regions and priority areas. Our approach moves customers beyond one-off imagery toward continuous awareness and alert-driven decision-making, with flexible pathways that can evolve from managed monitoring to full satellite ownership and sovereign control. Our technology supports a wide range of use cases across climate monitoring, agriculture, energy, infrastructure, defense and intelligence, helping organizations detect change, manage risk, and plan with confidence. With a team of approximately 150 employees across five countries, Satellogic brings together expertise in satellite engineering, software development, data science, manufacturing, operations, and go-to-market. We’re a group of purpose-driven builders who value ownership, curiosity, and execution—and who work with humility, honesty, and empathy. About the team Operating at the very heart of our R&amp;D group, the Satellite Software team engineers the technology that propels our missions. We own the full software lifecycle—from defining the flight code that powers our satellites in orbit to architecting the critical ground systems, including secure communication stacks. Our mission goes beyond coding; we are here to set the standard. We drive engineering excellence, build robust common architectures, and ensure top-tier quality across the entire satellite ecosystem. Fueled by our team’s diverse backgrounds and a relentless drive for innovation, we don’t just maintain systems—we push the limits of what is possible in space.
