Principal Security Software Engineer (Starlink)

A principal security software engineer on Starlink Product Security at SpaceX in Palo Alto, responsible for the security of software running across Starlink's space and ground systems and the customer devices that connect to them.

The engineer creates security-critical services including cryptographic infrastructure, ships security features for Starlink routers, dishes, gateways and satellites, builds security into factory processes, prototypes and validates improvements, and strengthens production systems directly or by advising other teams. SpaceX wants eight or more years of security software development with a STEM degree, or ten without, experience in Python, C++ or Go, and a record of securing operating systems or large infrastructure. Applied cryptography, network and OS security, secure boot and TPM or HSM experience are valued. Extended hours are sometimes expected.
