FULL STACK 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 is providing fast, reliable internet to 3M+ 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 UXSW team at SpaceX is responsible for the digital experience for 3M+ Starlink customers. We build the digital interfaces across mobile app and web to help users set up their Starlink, monitor outages, manage their service, and contact support. We also build the tooling for Starlink support associates, and the software systems used to configure and enforce Starlink’s service plans around the globe. 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.
