There’s not many greater missions out there than helping pioneer human space exploration. Realistically whatever your role, it’ll be incredibly small - SpaceX has thousands of employees. But however small, it’s moving the needle forward.
If you’re at the point in your life where you can make major sacrifices to a greater cause I’d say this is a fantastic opportunity.
Disclaimer: I’ve have no affiliation to SpaceX, I just believe in their mission.

- Redoubts 5y ago> If you’re at the point in your life where you can make major sacrifices to a greater cause On the flip side, you’re making major sacrifices for the direct benefit of one of the richest men on the planet.
- raverbashing 5y agoYeah, I agree I get it, in Space there are no weekends or nights. People working on Mars missions have to work weird hours etc But no, I wouldn't work at "infinite crunch" places
- shaklee3 5y agoMost of the positions are tangibly creating something that will be sent into space. This particular role is likely just for the website.
- whatshisface 5y agoFor a mechanical engineer, working at SpaceX is not making a major sacrifice. You're earning a serious pedigree from a place that is on the cutting edge of your field. If you're a frontend developer, you're going to be paying the cost and not collecting the benefit. It would be nice to hire a React dev from spacex, but we all know they'd be the same as a react dev from any other startup. That is not true for people in engineering career paths. A SpaceX line on their resume will help them for the rest of their career.
