Create solutions that are scalable, repeatable, maintainable, and secure.
Work collaboratively with other teams, including individuals in information security, physical security, information technology, human resources, legal, software, and others.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
Bachelor's degree in computer science or another STEM discipline; OR 2+ years of professional experience in security software development in lieu of a degree.

Experience with secure code development practices.
Experience with Linux, Windows, and Mac system internals.
Strong knowledge of public key infrastructure (PKI) environments and related technologies.
Experience with SAML, OIDC, and OAuth.
Experience working with special purpose security hardware such as Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) and Hardware Security Modules (HSMs).
Fundamental understanding of network protocols; including the TCP/IP stack as well as UDP based protocols.
Experienced in navigating large, complex, interactive systems.
Familiarity with developing web-based APIs, HTTP-RPC, and REST.
Familiarity with enterprise security controls and security best practices for Windows, Linux, and Mac systems.
Effective problem-solving skills, and ability to quickly determine root-causes of issues.

SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches the world’s most advanced rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk to revolutionize space transportation, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary.
SpaceX has gained worldwide attention for a series of historic milestones. It is the only private company ever to return a spacecraft from low-Earth orbit, which it first accomplished in December 2010. The company made history again in May 2012 when its Dragon spacecraft attached to the International Space Station, exchanged cargo payloads, and returned safely to Earth — a technically challenging feat previously accomplished only by governments. Since then Dragon has delivered cargo to and from the space station multiple times, providing regular cargo resupply missions for NASA.
