About Fleet Space Technologies Fleet is a space-enabled exploration technology company on a mission to dramatically accelerate the discovery of critical minerals needed to decarbonize our global economy. Electric vehicles and other clean energy technologies are vital elements of the world's efforts to combat climate change, and these will demand many times more critical minerals than today, with an incremental value of over USD $13 trillion. At the same time, finding new mineral deposits is becoming more challenging as we increasingly exhaust the supply of shallow deposits and are forced to explore deeper underground. Traditional exploration methods are poorly suited to address this challenge, so a new approach is needed. Our approach is to combine space technology, proprietary seismic sensors, cutting edge Ambient Noise Tomography, and machine learning to provide the world's first scalable 3D exploration dataset with near-real-time insights to guide active exploration programs far more efficiently to new deposits. This is Fleet's flagship product, ExoSphere - a space-enabled solution for mineral exploration in real-time, in 3D, and under cover with very low environmental impact. Since launching ExoSphere in March 2022, Fleet has signed contracts with over 30 clients including Rio Tinto, Barrick Gold and Core Lithium and completed over 120 Ambient Noise Tomography surveys, more than any other company in the world. As part of Fleet's founding vision to connect the Earth, Moon, and Mars, we also apply our technology to innovative solutions for defense and space exploration, including an upcoming mission to the Moon. Headquartered in Adelaide, Australia, Fleet has rapidly grown to over 100 employees including a growing team in the US and Canada. We have raised over AUD $85M in venture funding, backed by premier investors including Blackbird, Grok, and In-Q-Tel. The Team The Software Team at Fleet Space Technologies is composed of team-oriented technical experts that are driving significant innovations and shaping solutions for internal and external customers. Our tech stack includes embedded RTOS and Linux (C and Go), scientific data processing (Python), Customer APIs (Go and Typescript) and Frontends (Typescript with React and Vue). With such a broad stack we don't expect everyone to know everything, but ensure we have experts we can trust in each area, who are capable of communicating across complex software boundaries. It's not rocket science, but it's close One must not only bring proven technical expertise, but also be open minded, agile, and adaptable to solve yet to be determined challenges that could very well change the world (or another planet's). As a business, we are ambitious, innovative, and collaborative and we put our customers first in everything that we do. We love celebrating our successes, and we have had a lot to celebrate to date including Series C Funding and selection of our Technology to be the first Australian hardware to be deployed on the Moon. We are a diverse group of professionals who have come together for one purpose - to build spacecraft for explorers of new worlds with a mission to connect Earth, Moon and Mars.
