Job description

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.

SOFTWARE ENGINEER (STARLINK ENTERPRISE)

At SpaceX we’re leveraging our experience in building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink, the world’s most advanced broadband internet system. Starlink is the world’s largest satellite constellation and is providing fast, reliable internet to millions of users worldwide.

We’ve only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink’s potential global impact and are looking for best-in-class engineers to help maximize Starlink’s utility for communities and businesses around the globe.

Starlink powers complex and critical tasks across hundreds of sectors: emergency response, education, transportation, telecommunications, construction, and many more. As an engineer on this team, you’ll build tools to manage thousands of Starlink devices around the world, the core backend systems to serve that data, and the internal interfaces used by our sales and operations teams. You’ll get the chance to work across the stack: from UI/UX design to distributed systems engineering to working with embedded software. We don’t have project managers; engineers on the team are directly responsible for delivering the best internet experience from space for humans everywhere on Earth.
