Intern - Developer Evangelist

Welcome to Planet. We believe in using space to help life on Earth.

Planet’s mission is to image the whole world every day and make global change visible, accessible and actionable.

Planet builds compact satellites and has launched the largest fleet of satellites in history to do this. We control every component of hardware design and manufacturing, so our office is a truly inspiring mix of experts from a variety of domains.

With our humble beginnings in a Cupertino garage, to a scrappy team of engineers hacking our initial satellite builds, we now find ourselves with brand new technology and market traction for our revolutionary web-based platform. Customers now have insight into the massive data we are collecting from space as well as the opportunity to perform advanced analytics and solve difficult problems with new insights.

We have a people-centric approach toward culture and community and we are iterating in a way that puts our team members first and prepares our company for growth. Be a part of our mission and help build a company that is changing the world.

The Role:

We are looking for a current student (in Computer Science / Software Development) to get involved in local software startup events to give Planet more exposure to its APIs, but to also test out a new partner-focused role called a Developer Evangelist. 

Responsibilities:

• Participate in local startup community events

• Create code examples to be hosted on www.planet.com/docs

• Demo what our APIs can do at events and to customers

• Write articles about what our APIs can do and have them hosted on www.planet.com/docs

• Potentially attend client meetings to demonstrate API capabilities
