Description

Your mission You will help us unlock the potential of AI inside OKAPI:Orbits—not for our products, but for the people building them. Working closely with colleagues from engineering, operations, marketing, and beyond, you will identify where AI can save time and reduce friction, then actually build those solutions. You will also help document and share how we use AI tools across the company, so every team member can benefit. This is a hands-on role that combines empathy for non-technical stakeholders, practical AI know-how, and a drive to ship things that work. Studies show that women are less likely to apply for a role if they do not meet 100 percent of the requirements. Please know that we still strongly encourage you to apply if you bring leadership potential, enthusiasm for software development, and a genuine interest in space technology. OKAPI:Orbits already brings together a highly diverse team and is actively committed to expanding this diversity further, as diverse teams consistently achieve better results and foster innovation. Your tasks and responsibilities Discover and understand use cases. Work with departments across the company to understand their workflows and identify where AI automation would have the most impact—even when stakeholders are not technical. Design and build automations. Create lightweight AI-powered solutions for internal processes, from prompt-based workflows to small integrations that connect tools your colleagues already use. Document AI usage. Maintain and improve our internal knowledge base for AI tooling. Write clear guides, document best practices, and make it easy for the whole team to work effectively with available tools. Enable your colleagues. Act as a bridge between the AI team and the rest of the company. Translate what AI can do into language and examples that resonate with people who have never used it before.

We are committed to safeguarding space missions and access to space for all humanity. Join us on our mission.
