SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.APPLICATION SOFTWARE ENGINEERThe application software team is the central nervous system of SpaceX - we create mission critical applications that are used throughout SpaceX to accelerate launch vehicle production and flight as well as systems that allow Starlink to grow into a worldwide fast, reliable Internet service. We are looking for engineers who treat fellow teammates with fairness, respect, and support.Our team is currently creating and evolving systems to enable rapid build and reuse of Starship as well as designing the next generation manufacturing software that will be used in high throughput factories for Starlink. Other applications range from platforms that support concurrent streams of data from many always-on assets to manage the world's largest satellite constellation to public facing systems where customers can join our Starlink network globally. We work closely with engineers throughout the company to create and update our systems with respect to crewed launches, Starship flights, changes to the Starlink network and much more.Aerospace experience is not required to be successful here - we look for smart, motivated, respectful, collaborative engineers who love solving problems and want to make an impact on a super inspiring mission. You will have full ownership of challenging problems, working with a team of enthusiastic engineers with diverse perspectives to design and produce solutions that enable SpaceX to move towards our goals at a rapid pace. The success of the missions at SpaceX depends on the software that you and your team produce.RESPONSIBILITIES:Develop highly reliable software solutions that are used across SpaceXCreate new applications that improve how SpaceX operatesBuild prototypes to prove out key design concepts and quantify technical constraintsOwn all aspects of software engineering and product developmentDeep dive into your users' problems to find and create efficient solutionsBring your voice to the table in team collaborations on architecture, design, and code reviewsBASIC QUALIFICATIONS:Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, math, or scientific discipline; OR 2+ years of professional experience building software in lieu of a degreeExperience in full stack developmentPREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:Programming experience in Python, C#.NET, Go, Scala, Java, or similar object-oriented language1+ years of rigorous experience building single page web applicationsExperience with version control, continuous integration, and continuous delivery conceptsExpertise in designing software systemsDeep understanding of testing, continuous integration, build, deployment & monitoringExpertise in profiling and improving application performanceExperience with build systems (Make, Bazel/Pants/Buck, Gradle) and package management tools (pip, npm)Experience with UNIX-like operating systems and tools like Terraform, Ansible, Puppet for managing themExperience working with in-stream data processing using Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ, or similar technologiesProduction experience with Docker and KubernetesFront-end experience in Angular, React, or similar JavaScript frameworkDatabase experience with PostgreSQL, SQL Server, or similar database technologiesADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:You may be asked to work extended hours/weekends dependent on launch cadenceCOMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:Pay Range:Software Engineer/Level I: $120,000.00 - $145,000.00/per yearSoftware Engineer/Level II: $140,000.00 - $170,000.00/per yearY
