Software Engineer (Starlink Enterprise)

SpaceX • Redmond, WA • 2d ago

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 design, build, test, and operate all parts of the system - thousands of satellites, consumer receivers that allow users to connect within minutes of unboxing, and the software that brings it all together. 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.

The Starlink Enterprise Software team builds interfaces and systems for Starlink's largest customers. 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.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Develop well-architected, responsive, performant, and reliable software for Starlink customers and internal users

Write excellent frontend code for modern browsers

Design, build, maintain, and debug complex backend systems

Work closely with technical and non-technical partners to drive successful outcomes for the business

Deep dive into your users' problems to find and create efficient solutions

Bring your voice to the table in team collaborations on architecture, design, and code reviews

Collaborate with other engineering teams across Starlink to advance our engineering process and culture

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a STEM discipline and 1+ years of experience building full-stack software; OR 3+ years of professional experience building full-stack software in lieu of a degree (internship experience is applicable)

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Programming experience in C#, Typescript, Python, Go, Scala, Java, or similar

Strong attention to detail

A drive to deliver exceptional user experiences for customers and willingness to own all outcomes

Front-end experience in Angular, React, or similar JavaScript framework

Experience with PostgreSQL, SQL Server, CockroachDB, or similar database technologies

Experience with version control, continuous integration, and continuous delivery concepts

Experience with large-scale and/or performance-critical application development

Experience with UNIX-like operating systems and CI/CD tools

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

Pay range:

Software Engineer/Level I: $125,000.00 - $145,000.00/per year

Software Engineer/Level II: $145,000.00 - $175,000.00/per year

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.

Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package at SpaceX. You may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of company stock, stock options, or long-term cash awards, as well as potential discretionary bonuses and the ability to purchase additional stock at a discount through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You will also receive access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, paid parental leave, and various other discounts and perks. You may also accrue 3 weeks of paid vacation and will be eligible for 10 or more paid holidays per year. Employees in Washington State accrue paid sick time in compliance with state and federal law. Company shuttles are offered to employees for roundtrip travel from select Seattle locations to the SpaceX Redmond office Monday to Friday.
