Security Software Engineer (Starlink)

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. SECURITY SOFTWARE ENGINEER (STARLINK) 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 serves millions of users worldwide. We design, build, and operate all parts of the system – thousands of satellites and all of the space-ground infrastructure necessary for a constellation of that size. As we scale the constellation to hundreds of thousands of satellites, and become a foundation of global connectivity both on earth (and in space), we are looking for excellent engineers to help us build secure, defensible systems from the ground up. In this role, you will influence the security of software across our space and terrestrial systems. Ideally, you have notable skills in one or more of the following: Applied cryptography Network security Operating system security Secure/Authenticated boot Incident response and adversary detection Vulnerability research Software engineering RESPONSIBILITIES: Design and build security infrastructure for Starlink, including cryptographic services and other security-critical services Develop security features for Starlink systems, including our router, dish, gateways, and satellites Design security into factory processes and provide network services in support of this Maintain existing production systems and improve security posture via both direct implementation and recommendations to other teams Build prototypes and help identify, design, and test security improvements Further our mission of providing secure and reliable Internet to underserved communities BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: Bachelor's degree in comput
