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
Run the Application Software (ASW) operating cadence with the director and: leadership team: weekly/monthly rhythm, decision log, and the staff plan that matches company demand to teams
Own the ASW AOP (headcount, opex, capex, vendors) from bottoms-up inputs: through Finance review, in-year change control, and AOP-vs-actuals
Own the M&A playbook and execute integrations: diligence on people, software, vendors, and data; day-1 / 30 / 100 cutover; keep vs. rewrite vs. retire; where acquired teams land
Own site activation for ASW: coverage model, local intake/support, hiring, a go-live plan aligned to first hardware, first shift, or first customer
Own compute and hardware capacity: CPU/GPU/storage forecast; server-rack layout, power, cooling, and floor space with IT/facilities
Redesign intake, prioritization, and SLAs so work enters ASW through one: process — not a different path per team, site, or acquired org
What they're looking for
- Tackle nebulous, multi-org problems with no playbook yet; pull a: future-looking ASW growth strategy (org, sites, platforms, compute) out of ambiguity and drive it to a decision
- Get hands-on where it unblocks the plan: write software, land an integration, rack and cable hardware, bring up a server row, or join a site/hardware build until it is actually live
- Lead a team of 2-3 engineers/analysts; hold a short metric set and use it to change behavior
- Bachelor’s degree in operations, engineering, computer science, mathematics,: physics, or a related technical field
