The median is the middle of the distinct rates they post, and the middle half, $62,660–$87,360 an hour, runs from their 25th percentile to their 75th: half of the rates fall between them. Each range counts at its midpoint, and a job posted many times at one rate counts once, so no employer's posting volume sets the figure.

Questions about SpaceX ground software and IT jobs in space
How many ground software and IT jobs in space is SpaceX hiring for?
263, counted on the SpaceX careers site at SpaceJobs.Now's latest read, spread over California (175), Washington (75), Texas (69) and District of Columbia (26). The full SpaceX openings list sorts every role by discipline.
What is the salary range for ground software and IT jobs in space at SpaceX?
6 of these SpaceX postings give a range; the middle half of them sits at $62.7k–$87.4k/yr and the median at $75.4k/yr. That is base salary; equity, bonus and level move the offer, and every role below carries its own range. For the same discipline elsewhere, see Software & IT salaries across employers.
Where are SpaceX's ground software and IT jobs in space?
They cluster in Hawthorne, CA (137), Redmond, WA (73), Palo Alto, CA (51), Starbase, TX (40) and Bastrop, TX (36). A role posted at more than one site is counted at each of them.
What does SpaceX look for in these roles?
A computer science degree or equivalent experience; some programs need a US security clearance. The posting itself sets the bar (degree, years, clearance or citizenship), so read it first.
How fresh is this list, and where do I apply to SpaceX?
SpaceJobs.Now reads the SpaceX careers site every night; a role drops off once SpaceX takes it down. Open any role for the complete description, and the Apply step hands you to SpaceX's own form. No real space employer charges a fee to be hired, so treat any request for money as a scam.
