The success of the missions at SpaceX depends on the software that you and your team produce.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
<ul>
<li>Develop highly reliable software solutions used across SpaceX, including AI-powered applications that accelerate production, flight, and Starlink operations</li>
<li>Create new applications that improve how SpaceX operates by incorporating modern large language models, agentic systems, and other AI capabilities</li>
<li>Own the full lifecycle of Applied AI systems: design, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration from prototype to production</li>
<li>Deep dive into users' problems to uncover high-leverage AI opportunities and deliver efficient, production-grade solutions</li>
<li>Architect production systems for agentic workflows, tool-use, multi-agent orchestration, advanced retrieval, and long-context applications that prioritize reliability, safety, and responsible deployment</li>
<li>Build and maintain rigorous evaluation frameworks (LLM-as-judge, automated benchmarks, online evaluation) and production observability/monitoring for AI quality, safety, latency, and cost</li>
<li>Stay at the frontier of LLM techniques and rapidly incorporate emerging best practices into production systems across SpaceX programs</li>
</ul>
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
<ul>
<li>Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, math, or scientific discipline; OR 2+ years of professional experience building software in lieu of a degree</li>
<li>1+ years of experience in full stack development</li>
</ul>
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
<ul>
<li>Hands-on experience evaluating, deploying, and integrating AI models into production systems</li>
<li>Proven track record of delivering (or significantly contributing to) end-to-end AI products or production AI-powered features</li>
<li>Proven track record of shipping real-world AI products from prototype through production deployment and iteration</li>
<li>Deep hands-on experience with modern LLM techniques: agentic systems, tool-use / function calling, multi-agent orchestration, advanced retrieval architectures, fine-tuning, and structured outputs</li>
<li>Experience building production evaluation systems (LLM-as-judge, automated eval harnesses, A/B testing, red-teaming) and AI observability/monitoring (tracing, quality metrics, safety, cost)</li>
<li>Experience designing and implementing production architecture for AI-powered applications with strong emphasis on reliability, safety, and responsible deployment</li>
<li>Previous experience in AI product design, development, integration, testing, and productionization</li>
<li>Strong software engineering foundation with expertise in designing production systems (including AI-powered and system-to-system architectures) and a track record of writing clean, maintainable code</li>
<li>Programming experience in Python, C#.NET, Go, Scala, Java, or similar</li>
<li>Production experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and modern data streaming (Kafka or similar)</li>
<li>Front-end experience (Angular, React, or similar) and database experience (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, or similar)</li>
<li>Demonstrated ability to stay current with rapidly evolving AI technologies and best practices</li>
<li>Ability to work under pressure and deliver results across multiple parallel priorities in a fast-paced, high-reliability environment</li>
</ul>
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
<ul>
<li>You may be asked to work extended hours/weekends dependent on launch cadence</li>
<li>This role requires you to be onsite. Remote and/or hybrid work will not be considered</li>
<li>Ability to pass Air Force background check for Cape Canaveral</li>
