The opportunity
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.
What you'll do
Develop highly reliable software solutions used across SpaceX, including: AI-powered applications that accelerate production, flight, and Starlink operations
Create new applications that improve how SpaceX operates by incorporating: modern large language models, agentic systems, and other AI capabilities
Own the full lifecycle of Applied AI systems: design, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration from prototype to production
Deep dive into users’ problems to uncover high-leverage AI opportunities and: deliver efficient, production-grade solutions
Architect production systems for agentic workflows, tool-use, multi-agent: orchestration, advanced retrieval, and long-context applications that prioritize reliability, safety, and responsible deployment
Build and maintain rigorous evaluation frameworks (LLM-as-judge, automated: benchmarks, online evaluation) and production observability/monitoring for AI quality, safety, latency, and cost
What they're looking for
- Stay at the frontier of LLM techniques and rapidly incorporate emerging best: practices into production systems across SpaceX programs
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, math, or scientific: discipline; OR 2+ years of professional experience building software in lieu of a degree
- + years of experience in full stack development
- Hands-on experience evaluating, deploying, and integrating AI models into production systems
