About the company
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.
SR. SITE RELIABILITY ENGINEER, PLATFORM INFRASTRUCTURE
The application software team is the central nervous system of SpaceX. Manufacturing is how SpaceX turns designs into hardware. The compute, storage, and networking that run our factories must be as reliable as the products we build. This team owns infrastructure supporting Starship, Starlink, Starshield, and Terafab. This position will have a direct impact on factory uptime, throughput, and production scale across programs.
The ideal candidate has strong software engineering fundamentals and a passion for infrastructure: reliability, stability, proactive maintenance, and scalability. You understand the system before you change it, solve hard problems, communicate clearly with stakeholders and teammates, and take ownership of work that manufacturing depends on.
Aerospace experience is not required. We value smart, motivated, collaborative engineers who treat teammates with fairness, respect, and support, and who want to take full ownership of challenging problems to help make humanity multi-planetary.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
•
Deploy, upgrade, operate, maintain, and scale compute, storage, and networking for manufacturing systems across Starship, Starlink, Starshield, and Terafab
•
Manage infrastructure as code and use observability to provide a complete picture of platform health
•
Design for reliability, stability, and scale; find and remove bottlenecks with measurement and engineering
•
Practice proactive maintenance: capacity planning, lifecycle management, and reducing toil before it becomes an incident
•
Partner with software engineers, manufacturing stakeholders, and site teams to build operable, maintainable systems
•
Improve the full lifecycle—from design through deployment, operation, and continuous refinement
•
Practice sustainable incident response and blameless postmortems
•
Provide high-quality support to manufacturing and engineering users
•
Communicate clearly with stakeholders and teammates
•
Participate in on-call and travel to sites as needed for deployments, incidents, and cross-site reliability
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
