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. 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 millions of 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 millions of 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 an LLM-powered chatbot to solve customers’ issues before they reach out.

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.
