Starcloud

Starcloud (formerly Lumen Orbit) is a pioneering company building data centers in space to address the growing energy and infrastructure challenges of AI computing. By leveraging the unique environment of space—such as near-continuous solar power and passive radiative cooling—Starcloud aims to overcome the limitations of terrestrial data centers, including energy, cooling, water, land, and permitting constraints. The company recently achieved a major milestone by launching the first Nvidia H100 GPU into orbit, marking the transition from concept to operational prototype. Backed by leading investors like Y Combinator, NFX, In-Q-Tel, and the NVIDIA Inception Program, Starcloud is rapidly advancing toward deploying scalable, gigawatt-class AI clusters in space.

Working at Starcloud offers the opportunity to be at the forefront of deep-tech innovation, collaborating with a team of experienced engineers and visionaries from organizations like SpaceX, Microsoft, and Airbus. Employees are part of a mission-driven culture focused on solving some of the most pressing challenges in digital infrastructure and AI, with the potential to shape the future of cloud computing beyond Earth. The company’s ambitious vision, strong backing, and rapid progress make it an exciting environment for those passionate about space, technology, and making a global impact.
