As a Software Engineer on the Starship Continuous Integration team, you will own the tools that power Starship software development. You will design, maintain, and scale the systems which enable hundreds of engineers to integrate their changes and deliver reliable software to all Starship vehicles and launch pads on a continuous basis. This is a high-autonomy role and we are looking for people who want to work closely with peers, identify the biggest problems facing the team, and own solutions from start to finish!

Aerospace experience is not required to be successful here - rather we look for smart, motivated, collaborative engineers who love solving problems and want to be a force multiplier for building world class software that is critical to SpaceX's mission to make life multiplanetary.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Invent tools and processes which enable fast and correct software development.
  • Hands-on integration and troubleshooting across the entire Starship software stack.
  • Collaborate with counterpart teams to design, maintain, and continuously improve a dedicated pool of on-premises compute.
  • Identify areas for improvement and create innovative solutions that enable the software team to tackle all challenges facing the Starship program as we develop the world's first fully reusable rocket and spacecraft.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, math, or STEM discipline; OR 2+ years of professional experience in software development in lieu of a degree

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Skill with Bazel or similar build systems
  • Fluency in Python, C++, Rust, or Go
  • Experience building tools and infrastructure that impacts hundreds of engineers daily
  • Experience with AI-assisted development tools and interest in applying AI to improve code quality, testing, and development workflows
  • Strong critical thinking and first-principles problem-solving skills
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Able to work effectively in a dynamic environment while assuming high levels of responsibility and demonstrating accountability for software outcomes

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • Willing to work long hours and weekends as needed

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

Pay range:    
Software Engineering/Level I: $125,000.00 - $145,000.00/per year    
Software Engineering/Level II: $145,000.00 - $175,000.00/per year
