You know, we're hiring software engineers over here! :) If that was your (or anyone else's) reaction and you'd be interested in learning more about what we're doing and how you might fit it, I'd be happy to chat! I'm a manager for one of the software teams here - we're always looking for great engineers who care about the mission!

Could you add your email to your profile? Is the location just in Hawthorne/LA?
- sxarose 6y ago
  I just added it (thanks for pointing that out) but for anyone that wants to get in touch it is anthony.rose [at] spacex.com. Edit: and there are other locations too, including Redmond, WA.

    Your email address is still not on your profile. Did you add it to the window only visible to the HN mods? Or have you removed it again? Regardless, as I type this, there are no contact details in your profile.

My god I would love to. Absolute dream. I am actually a Software Engineer, and even your reply gets me excited. I'm not American.

I suppose you're not looking for any more interns?

  We're still discussing the plans for 2021 given the challenges w/ CV19, but feel free to ping me (email in profile) and I can send you more info.

    Unfortunately for a lot of us outside the US, this is just a dream.

      Elon started outside the US, and I'm sure many of the team did too.

        Yep - I'm from the UK :)

        I am partially from the UK but I imagine you need citizenship to work for a rocket company like SpaceX.

  Well, if all you want is going to Mars ASAP, this is less of a hurdle than it seems.

    Congrats on the successful SN8 test! Being born on the 4th July 1969, I always had a fondness for Apollo and rocketry in general. Always wanted to move to the USA as well, but my life's route took me elsewhere :) (although I /did/ once launch a rocket with the MARS team in Black Rock desert in 2001 in an attempt to break the UK amateur rocketry record! [http://www.mars.org.uk/phoboseav.html http://www.mars.org.uk/phoboseav.html]) That SN8 flight was beautiful. The Belly Flop manoeuvre... wowsers! I'm content now at 51 to watch you and the rest of the SpaceX team make history. Do awesome stuff!
