Role summary

We are seeking a skilled Analytics Engineer to build and maintain robust data systems for high-impact quantitative analysis and business decision-making. This role requires strong software engineering practices, expertise in large-scale data processing (Spark, Kafka, Flink), and advanced analytical methods. Responsibilities include designing and optimizing data pipelines, developing quantitative models, building data infrastructure, collaborating with cross-functional teams, conducting A/B tests, and implementing system monitoring. The ideal candidate has 4+ years of experience in production data pipelines, proficiency in Python and SQL, and a solid understanding of cloud services. Experience in consumer technology or social media domains is preferred.

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.
