The Work
ASTRAEUS is a place-based platform at the intersection of community, design, and the emerging space economy.
We are building a network of environments— beginning on Earth— that explore how people live, work, and interact across changing conditions. These environments act as an analog for future communities, where architecture, materials, and human systems are developed together.
This is not a single project.
It is a system, built over time.
And it begins with a small group of people willing to work at the edge of what exists today.
What It’s Like to Work Here
Working at ASTRAEUS means operating between disciplines.
You may be designing a space one day, testing a material the next, and helping shape a new program or partnership the day after. The work is fluid, but it is always grounded in something real. Something that can be built, used, and experienced.
This is early-stage.
That means:
Not everything is defined
Systems are still forming
Priorities will evolve
But it also means:
You can shape what this becomes
Your work has immediate impact
You are building something that does not yet exist
How We Work
We value:
Clarity over noise
Action over speculation
Systems over silos
Long-term thinking over short-term optimization
There is no single “type” of person here.
But there is a shared mindset:
build thoughtfully, and build for what’s ahead.
Current Opportunities
Strategic Advisor (Founding)
Help guide long-term direction, partnerships, and system-level decisions.
Founding Architect / Spatial Designer
Shape the first outpost and future environments through design and systems thinking.
Community & Program Director
Build the human layer—programming, partnerships, and daily experience.
Fabrication & Lab Lead
Enable making, prototyping, and experimentation across disciplines.
f u r t h e r — Materials & Soft Systems Designer
Develop garments, materials, and wearable systems for extreme environments.
Partnerships & Development Lead
Connect ASTRAEUS to the organizations and collaborators that will help it grow.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re not hiring for rigid roles.
We’re looking for people who can operate within a system that is still taking shape.
You might be a fit if you:
Think across disciplines (design, engineering, community, systems)
Are comfortable with ambiguity and long-term thinking
Care about how environments shape human experience
Want to build something real, not just conceptual
Are drawn to the intersection of architecture, space, and future systems
Experience matters.
But perspective matters more.
Where We’re Going
ASTRAEUS begins with a single outpost.
Over time, it expands into:
campuses
labs
research environments
product systems
and eventually, aerospace-adjacent work
The goal is not to grow quickly.
The goal is to grow intentionally.
Join Us
If this resonates with you, we’d like to hear from you.
We are especially interested in people who:
see connections others don’t
are comfortable starting before everything is defined
want to contribute to something that evolves over time
