Principal Security Software Engineer (Starlink)

A principal-level engineer on Starlink's Product Security team at SpaceX in Bastrop, Texas, shaping the security of software across Starlink's product lines, from satellites and gateways to the dish and router.

The engineer designs cryptographic and other security-critical services, builds security features into Starlink hardware, brings security into factory processes and their network services, prototypes and tests improvements, and raises the posture of production systems. SpaceX asks for a STEM degree with eight years of security software development, or ten without a degree, plus Python, C++ or Go and experience securing operating systems or large distributed infrastructure. Applied cryptography, secure boot, network and OS security, TPMs and HSMs are valued. Extended hours are sometimes required.
