The posting

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 enabling human life on Mars.

MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, FINANCE (APPLICATION SOFTWARE)

As a Software Engineering Manager, you will be managing teams of software engineers to build and support our finance software systems.

The finance software team is the central nervous system of SpaceX’s financial operations – we build and maintain the mission-critical applications that power the finance department and keep our financial systems accurate, reliable, and secure as we scale launch, manufacturing, Starlink, AI, and chip design. Our teams design, own, and evolve the systems finance depends on every day – from core financial platforms to the integrations that connect those systems with engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and other teams across the company.

Are you comfortable tackling new problems and creating innovative solutions? Do you want to help improve the software, infrastructure, and the teams that are instrumental to help take us to Mars? Are you excited about helping people grow in their careers? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment that embraces change? If this sounds like you, join and help lead our teams to make a real impact on humanity.

  • Own all aspects, including prioritization, implementation, and delivery, of the system roadmap
  • Collaborate with other leaders in the department, and across the company, to ensure data flows cleanly end-to-end, controls stay strong, and financial systems keep pace with the business

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
