About this data
ElegyLabs isn't affiliated with SpaceX. These numbers come from SpaceX's public job board on Greenhouse, read on October 27, 2026 and refreshed every Monday. Roles and seniority are worked out from job titles, so a few land in the wrong bucket. We link to each posting on SpaceX's own board and don't copy job descriptions; pay figures are the ranges the postings themselves state.
