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
Design, install, operate, scale, and optimize enterprise compute,: virtualization, and storage platforms, including hypervisor clusters, purpose-built servers, and high-performance storage (NAS, SAN, and object storage).
Work with SpaceX engineers to gather requirements and to design, deploy, and: support resilient, high-performance systems for engineering, production, and mission workloads.
Perform capacity planning and performance engineering, and implement: high-availability, backup, replication, and disaster recovery for virtual machines, datastores, and storage arrays.
Install, configure, patch, and decommission servers, hypervisor hosts, and: storage systems, and contribute to hardware and platform standards.
Automate provisioning, patching, and day-to-day operations with scripting,: templates, and infrastructure as code to reduce toil.
Document standards and best practices, and partner with network, facilities,: security, and application teams on connectivity, power and cooling, access, and workload placement.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a STEM discipline and 1+ years of: systems engineering experience; OR 3+ years of systems engineering experience in lieu of a degree.
- Experience deploying and supporting Linux servers in physical and virtualized: environments (e.g. VMware via automation).
- Experience with the Linux shell as well as configuring and extending Linux: instances (e.g. kernel modules, cgroups, pki, iptables, interfaces).
