About the role
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 making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.
SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.
SOFTWARE ENGINEER, SERVICES PLATFORM
As a Software Engineer, Services Platform at SpaceXSI, you'll build the platform-level primitives that make it hard for product teams to build brittle systems and easy to build resilient ones. SpaceXSI is scaling fast, hundreds of engineers shipping to millions of developers, and your core focus will be the abstractions that make that sustainable: service provisioning, deploy tooling, workflow orchestration, and defining what it means to own and operate a service at SpaceXSI. You'll work at the intersection of developer experience and production reliability, building the golden pathways that every engineering team runs on.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Establish durable workflow orchestration as a first-class platform: defining best practices, building shared abstractions, and creating the standard that every team uses for reliable, long-running workflows
- Design a declarative service configuration framework that makes it trivial to provision, deploy, and operate new services, so spinning up a new backend goes from days to minutes
- Define the contract for service ownership: what it means to own a service, how services integrate with SpaceXSI's infrastructure abstractions, and how the service catalogue is built so incidents get resolved in minutes, not hours
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience building internal developer platforms, service frameworks, or infrastructure abstractions that other engineers depend on
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
- Experience working extensively with Temporal, durable workflow engines, or similar orchestration systems and strong opinions on best practices
