Space Software Engineering Intern

Graduate with the skills necessary to revolutionise the future of satellite imaging.

Arlula is changing the way earth observation data is utilised and managed. Earth observation data, such as satellite imagery, is applied across various industries like climate management, agriculture, mining and defence, allowing people to better understand changes to our planet as seen from space.

We are currently seeking final year students/recent graduates to join us as an intern working on our geospatial data and orbital asset management platforms. As part of our team, you will learn about the space and earth observation industry, develop your aerospace modelling, software and programming skills by working with our multidisciplinary team to design and build new features, and apply best practice as you help grow our software platform. 

As part of our internship program, we will provide educational opportunities to help you upskill in areas such as:

• Full stack development with Go and Typescript,
• Software design and delivery,
• Core geospatial and imagery analysis concepts and techniques,
• Orbital modelling and orchestration patterns and practice
• Collaboration as part of an agile engineering team in a fast paced startup environment.

With mentorship from our team, you will lead a project that introduces you to earth observation concepts and be directly involved in all aspects of the software development lifecycle through the research, planning, design, building, testing and release of the software.
