Privateer Space

Privateer Space is a company founded by Steve Wozniak and Alex Fielding dedicated to creating a sustainable future for space. They aim to address the growing problem of space debris by developing technology that allows for more efficient and safe use of space. One of their flagship products is Wayfinder, an open-access and near real-time visualization platform of satellites and debris in Earth orbit. Privateer also focuses on creating a "ride-sharing" economy for satellites, where users can share access to data from satellites, reducing the number of single-use satellites launched.

Privateer is committed to transparency and collaboration in space, believing that working together is the best way to address the challenges facing the space environment. They are also actively involved in research and development, partnering with other companies and organizations to create new technologies that will make space exploration safer and more sustainable.

Privateer Space offers a flexible work environment with a hybrid work schedule and self-regulated time off. This includes the option for remote work for some roles, as well as offices in Maui, Palo Alto, and Las Vegas.

Privateer offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes 100% employer-paid health insurance for employees and dependents, dental and vision coverage, a 401K program, eight weeks of parental leave for non-birthing parents and 14 weeks for birthing parents, self-regulated time off, and offices in Maui, Palo Alto, and Las Vegas. They also offer stock options with all positions.

Privateer Space is committed to creating a sustainable future in space by developing data infrastructure and technology that enables responsible growth in the space economy. They strive to ensure a safe and accessible space environment for future generations through initiatives like their flagship application Wayfinder, which provides open-access visualization of satellites and debris in Earth orbit, and their Pono hosted payload, which promotes multi-use satellites and reduces orbital clutter.

Privateer promotes a culture of innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to space sustainability. The company values hands-on engineering, risk-taking, and a willingness to learn from mistakes, much like the spirit of its co-founder, Steve Wozniak. Privateer fosters an inclusive and high-performing workplace that encourages diverse perspectives and celebrates achievements. The company's Hawaiian roots are also evident in its values, emphasizing respect for the environment and a dedication to community.

Privateer Space prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion, recognizing that a diverse and inclusive workplace fosters innovation, creativity, and a more representative understanding of the space environment. They actively encourage applications from underrepresented groups, acknowledging that women and people of color are often less likely to apply if they don't meet every qualification. Privateer emphasizes a culture of trust, communication, and respect, seeking to create a space where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and experiences.
