SpaceX is seeking a senior-level network security engineer to build and operate security infrastructure across corporate and enterprise networks supporting the company's aerospace operations. This is hands-on technical work: you'll design network segmentation, routing, and access controls; configure and manage firewalls including Palo Alto, Check Point, Juniper, and Arista platforms; and translate operational requirements into production-ready architectures. You'll also lead technical design reviews, establish security standards, investigate incidents to root cause, and partner across teams to balance security with functional needs.
The role requires either a STEM degree plus five years of network security experience, or eight years of experience without a degree, along with at least three years securing networks, infrastructure, applications, endpoints, or APIs. Preferred experience includes designing eBGP fabrics, configuring ACLs, implementing VPNs and web application firewalls, and operating SIEMs. You should be comfortable testing and deploying changes in production environments under change control.
This is a full-time, onsite position in Memphis, Tennessee with no remote or hybrid option. The role requires willingness to work extended hours and weekends as needed, and you must meet ITAR eligibility requirements as a U.S. citizen, green card holder, refugee, or asylee.
