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. SR.

CYBER ASSURANCE ANALYST, LAUNCH Cyber Assurance is the practice of providing confidence that systems, products and processes meet security, regulatory and compliance obligations.

Requirements

are met for both internal and customer-facing systems. As a teammate you will operate within Information Assurance, working closely with engineers to understand systems, how controls are implemented, be hands-on with collecting and reviewing evidence, and driving efficiencies and remediation efforts, along with providing technical support for Enterprise and Launch systems. As an ideal candidate, you love living at the intersection of security, compliance, and emerging technology.

You’re comfortable explaining security frameworks and security best practices to non-technical teams as you are at grabbing a hash of a file or identifying an insecure default configuration. You are firm when it matters, but also flexible to consider alternative ways to move the ball forward. You excel at handling concurrent complex efforts and flourish in an environment where learning never ceases, where the breadth of operations ranges from rockets to routing tables, and where teams are laser-focused on mission accomplishment -- excitement guaranteed!
