Data Engineer (Starlink)

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. ## DATA ENGINEER (STARLINK) At SpaceX, we’re leveraging our experience building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink, the world’s most advanced broadband internet system.

Starlink is the world’s largest satellite constellation, delivering fast, reliable internet to more than 10 million users worldwide. We design, build, test, and operate the full stack - satellites, user terminals, and the software that ties it all together.

As a Data Engineer on the Starlink Enterprise team, you will improve the quality of data flowing into our commercial systems and build the integrations and AI agents that turn that cleaner data into better decisions and faster execution - from pipeline generation through closed revenue and ongoing enablement.

You will partner with Enterprise sales, channel and reseller operations, sales ops, and enablement to fix messy inputs, reduce manual cleanup, and ship automations that make go-to-market workflows more reliable. ## RESPONSIBILITIES - Improve data hygiene and quality across go-to-market systems - identify bad, missing, duplicate, and stale records; implement validation, enrichment, and remediation so higher-quality data enters our system of record, opportunity, partner/reseller, and enablement workflows - Raise the quality of inputs to AI agents and analytics so outputs (recommendations, deal status, enablement answers, reporting) are more accurate, trustworthy, and actionable - Build integrations across internal tools and external systems so deal, customer, and partner context flows cleanly between sales, channel ops, and operational platforms - reducing manual re-entry and preventing quality issues at the source - Develop Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and related interfaces that connect AI assistants (including Grok) to internal and external go-to-market systems, with an emphasis on reliable, well-scoped access to the right data and tools - Design, ship, and iterate AI agents that power Starlink Enterprise go-to-market workflows - Contribute to AI-powered applications and automations that accelerate lead-to-revenue cycles, working within the additional datasets and systems architecture owned by the team - Instrument data quality and agent performance with monitoring and feedback loops - catching regressions early and tying improvements to outcomes (e.g., cleaner pipeline, faster cycle times, higher adoption and trust) - Partner closely with sales, sales ops, channel/reseller ops, and enablement to turn recurring data-quality problems and manual processes into durable automations and standards - Create reusable tools, checks, and documentation that help the team maintain data quality and extend agents over time ## BASIC QUALIFICATIONS - Bachelor’s degree in computer science, data science, physics, mathematics, or another STEM discipline - 1+ years of professional data engineering or software engineering experience (internship experience applicable) - 1+ years of development experience in Python or another modern programming language (SQL, etc.) ## PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE - Experience improving CRM data quality (deduping, enrichment, validation rules, field completeness, source-of-truth discipline) - Experience building AI agents, LLM-powered applications, or tool-using assistants that integrate with real business systems (APIs, CRMs, ticketing, data warehouses) - Experience designing APIs, webhooks, or integration layers that connect heterogeneous systems and keep data consistent across them - Familiarity with Model Context Protocol (MCP) or similar patterns for exposing tools and data sources to AI systems - Experience with CRM and go-to-market tooling; familiarity with Clay, HubSpot, Apollo, or similar sales engagement / enrichment platforms is a plus - Professional experience supporting sales, sales ops, channel/reseller, or revenue operations workflows with data and automation - Experience with SQL and modern data tooling; exposure to Grok, internal AI platforms, or comparable LLM developer tooling is a plus - Experience with agent evaluation, guardrails, permissions, and human-in-the-loop patterns for production AI systems - Ability to thrive in a fast-changing environment, take initiative on ambiguous problems, and develop new expertise as the product and stack evolve ## ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS - Must be available to work extended hours and weekends as needed - Willingness to travel to customer sites, other SpaceX locations, and events as needed ## ITAR REQUIREMENTS - To conform to U.S.

Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
