Security Software Engineer (Starlink)

A security software engineer on the Starlink Product Security team at SpaceX's Bastrop, Texas site, building secure, defensible software for Starlink's satellites, ground gateways and customer dishes and routers.

The engineer creates cryptographic and other security-critical services, implements security features across Starlink hardware, designs security into manufacturing and supplies the network services it needs, prototypes and tests improvements, and improves production systems hands-on or by advising other teams. SpaceX asks for a STEM degree or two years of security software development, Python, C++ or Go, and experience securing operating systems or distributed infrastructure. Applied cryptography, OS and network security, secure boot, vulnerability research and familiarity with TPMs and HSMs are preferred. Extended hours are sometimes required.
