Your space-enabled career begins here

World View Indo-Pacific is a wholly owned subsidiary of World View Enterprises, a US stratospheric exploration company who has been operating in the stratosphere for over 12 years.

We are not iterating on the past, we’re building what comes next. From a clean slate, we’re establishing a sovereign aerospace and intelligence capability that serves both government and commercial sectors, with no legacy limits and no direct rivals.

We exist to inspire, create, and explore new perspectives for a radically improved future. We reach new perspectives through navigable long-duration and short-duration stratospheric balloons that carry instruments and sensors into the stratosphere.

We help contribute to a radically improved future by capturing high-quality imagery and data, coupled with bespoke analytics for imagery and data interpretation. The knowledge created by this data delivers insights with the goal of saving lives and averting disasters.

Are you ready to be part of something truly extraordinary and out of this world!
