About the job
At SpaceX, we believe that a future where humanity is exploring the stars is far more exciting than one where we remain on Earth. We are dedicated to developing the technologies necessary to make this vision a reality, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
SENIOR SECURITY SOFTWARE ENGINEER, APPLIED COMPUTING (STARSHIELD)
Starshield utilizes SpaceX's Starlink technology and launch capabilities to enhance national security initiatives. While Starlink serves consumer and commercial markets, Starshield is tailored for government applications, focusing initially on earth observation, secure communications, and hosted payloads. The Starshield team is committed to creating highly reliable in-space mesh networks, designing secure systems that guarantee space access, and developing next-generation communication and sensing software.
As a Senior Security Software Engineer, you will employ artificial intelligence to automate security protocols and ensure the safe integration of AI into both new and existing systems. If you are passionate about AI, security, and the intersection of the two, this role is perfect for you.
We prefer candidates who possess significant expertise in:
- Software engineering
- Agent engineering and security
- Large language model (LLM) attack surfaces
- Network and operating system security
- Incident response and adversary detection
Success in this role requires flexibility, clear communication, and the ability to build and maintain effective working relationships with other engineering teams. If you are dedicated to crafting high-quality products, enjoy the challenge of outsmarting adversaries, and are eager to make an impact on an interplanetary scale, you will thrive here.
