Future Scout Team Members!

Scout Space is building a new way to see and operate in space: with a new paradigm of data empowering every satellite to make space safer. We are a rapidly-growing team; we are deploying real solutions to orbit over the next 2 years; and our work will transform the face of spaceflight. We are looking for people that bring excitement and energy to our organization, are curious and eager to learn, and want to help drive our programs forward.

The best people do their best work when they can build frameworks for tackling open-ended problems without bias, and our team doesn't limit itself to any single mode of problem-solving. We are a diverse and agile team which values open-mindedness and transparency and understanding that All Ships Rise with the Tide. These beliefs are the foundation of our Culture Code:

• Vision First: Every great story begins with a vision. By focusing on the vision as a team, we’re able to accomplish anything.
• Open Mindedness: Nothing great is ever achieved by doing things the way they have always been done. To create something meaningful, we must create significance. Step out of your comfort zone and consider other ideas and perspectives. Share your ideas with the team and explore the possibilities.
• Transparency: As a team, we aspire to be honest, open, and straightforward with each other.
• Ecosystem Minded: Reach out, partner, and bring people from different parts of the ecosystem together for the vision and go forward.
• Operate as a Team: We work on the cutting edge of technical capability, and alongside the most capable people in the world. Our colleagues are our teammates, and despite any conflict that arises, we show up to meet our common goals professionally. We only succeed if we all work together as one team.
