Job description

Welcome to Planet. We believe in using space to help life on Earth.

Planet designs, builds, and operates the largest constellation of imaging satellites in history. This constellation delivers an unprecedented dataset of empirical information via a revolutionary cloud-based platform to authoritative figures in commercial, environmental, and humanitarian sectors. We are both a space company and data company all rolled into one.

Customers and users across the globe use Planet's data to develop new technologies, drive revenue, power research, and solve our world’s toughest obstacles.

As we control every component of hardware design, manufacturing, data processing, and software engineering, our office is a truly inspiring mix of experts from a variety of domains.

We have a people-centric approach toward culture and community and we strive to iterate in a way that puts our team members first and prepares our company for growth. Join Planet and be a part of our mission to change the way people see the world.

Planet is a global company with employees working remotely world wide and joining us from offices in San Francisco, Washington DC, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and The Netherlands.

About the Role: 

We are looking for a Technical Program Manager (TPM) for Trade Compliance to embed directly within our product and software development and data analytics teams. Your mission is to drive compliance to enable product and software delivery in a rapid development environment. You will take complex regulatory requirements and turn them into pragmatic, scalable product features and workflows.

Because our cutting-edge products serve a diverse client base ranging from commercial and Civil Government customers to the military and intelligence community, you will navigate the complex intersection of ITAR/EAR and OFAC/sanctions requirements as well as globally applicable equivalents. You will ensure trade compliance requirements are built into our product and software development architecture and deployment workflows to support product team innovation.

This is a full-time, hybrid role which will require you to work from our Washington, DC or Denver, CO office 3 days per week.

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:

The city

The job is in Washington, DC. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Washington compares. Among the 1 largest places in District of Columbia, Washington is #1 by population, #1 for rent (#1 = cheapest), #1 for household income (#1 = highest), #1 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, District of Columbia, is #1 of 1 counties for average pay ($122,982).

The place in numbers

Washington has 681,294 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 100.0% of the population of District of Columbia. It covers 61 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 11,146 people per square mile. The median age is 34.9, about the same as the state median (34.9 against 34.9).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,954 a month (rent plus utilities), about the same as the state median ($1,954 against $1,954). Over a year that is 21.3% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $737,100, which is 6.7 times the median household income ($109,870); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 41.5% of households own their home, about the same as the state average (41.5% against 41.5%).

Work and pay

The Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV metropolitan area has 3,136,190 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $71,060 a year, 39% above the national median ($71,060 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are business and financial operations (369,190 jobs, median $105,260); management (319,760 jobs, median $165,010); office and administrative support (290,050 jobs, median $53,250). The area is most specialised in legal (2.6 times) and computer and mathematical (2.2 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are legal ($175,070) and management ($165,010). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of District of Columbia was 5.3%. 70.9% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in District of Columbia; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 27.4% drive alone, 20.3% use public transit, 9.5% walk, 33.0% work from home. 19.0% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, about the same as the state average (19.0% against 19.0%).

People and education

64.2% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, about the same as the state share (64.2% against 64.2%). 14.3% of residents were born outside the United States, about the same as the state share (14.3% against 14.3%). The poverty rate is 15.4%, about the same as the state rate (15.4% against 15.4%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 78°F (25.8°C), and the coolest is Jan at 32°F (0.1°C). About 1,152 mm (45 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Jun is the wettest month (118 mm) and Jan the driest (67 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Chillum (5 miles, rent 11% lower); Arlington (5 miles, rent 19% higher); Hyattsville (5 miles, rent 6% lower); Takoma Park (5 miles, rent 27% lower). Rent differences are against Washington; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
