Job details

Software Engineer (Platform Team)

SpaceX is building the technologies to enable humanity to explore the stars. The AI Platform (Platform Team) builds secure, scalable gateways, proxies, and shared tooling that enable engineers company-wide to leverage frontier models and managed compute safely and efficiently. The team seeks a pragmatic software engineer who can design, implement, and operate production platform systems that convert engineering expertise into reliable automation, data stores, and developer-facing products.

Skills

  • Experience developing production software systems (platform, backend, or full stack)
  • Hands-on experience with Docker containers and container-based gateways/proxies
  • Familiarity with multi-provider integrations (cloud compute + frontier model providers)
  • Knowledge of MLOps, model onboarding, and compute orchestration for large-scale AI
  • Proficiency in Python; experience with additional languages (Go, Java, TypeScript) is valuable
  • Understanding of security-first architecture, observability, and infrastructure-as-code

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and operate secure, scalable AI platforms, gateways, and proxy systems used across the company
  • Own the full lifecycle of platform features: design, testing, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement
  • Onboard new models and integrate multiple compute and model providers into platform workflows
  • Optimize proxy efficiency for logging, control, security, and cost across managed compute
  • Develop automation and tools that mitigate business risk (e.g., AI-powered code review and PR assistants)
  • Drive adoption by creating shared prompts, skills, documentation, and directly supporting engineering teams
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to understand needs and connect AI to real tools and workflows

Education

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, or other engineering discipline, OR
  • 2+ years of professional experience building production software in lieu of a degree

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary with level-based ranges and potential discretionary bonuses
  • Long-term incentives (company stock or long-term cash awards) and Employee Stock Purchase Plan
  • Comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage
  • 401(k) retirement plan
  • Short- and long-term disability insurance and life insurance
  • Paid parental leave, paid vacation (approx. 3 weeks), and 10+ paid holidays per year
  • Paid sick leave per company policy and various employee discounts and perks
