## About the role

As a Software Engineer Intern on the Platform team, you'll design and build services that autonomously control satellites, monitor telemetry for anomalies, and provide real-time situational awareness to keep our fleet safe and online. You'll also be building the core components and services that power the rest of our software organization, enabling every team to move faster and more reliably. You will be shaping the foundation of software that has to work flawlessly – because our satellites depend on it.

- Strong proficiency in Python
- Experience and understanding of databases (Postgres, etc)
- Experience and understanding of pub/sub and streaming systems (RabbitMQ, Flink, etc)
