You know, we're hiring software engineers over here! :)

If that was your (or anyone else's) reaction and you'd be interested in learning more about what we're doing and how you might fit it, I'd be happy to chat! I'm a manager for one of the software teams here - we're always looking for great engineers who care about the mission!

Hi Anthony! Congrats on the mostly successful test, and a huge thank you to your colleagues.

[grecy]

My god I would love to. Absolute dream. I am actually a Software Engineer, and even your reply gets me excited.

I'm not American.

> ... we're hiring software engineers over here ...

...provided they are US citizens.

[sxarose]

Yes, or green-card holders.

Congrats on the successful SN8 test!

Being born on the 4th July 1969, I always had a fondness for Apollo and rocketry in general. Always wanted to move to the USA as well, but my life's route took me elsewhere :) (although I /did/ once launch a rocket with the MARS team in Black Rock desert in 2001 in an attempt to break the UK amateur rocketry record! [http://www.mars.org.uk/phoboseav.html])

That SN8 flight was beautiful. The Belly Flop manoeuvre... wowsers!

I'm content now at 51 to watch you and the rest of the SpaceX team make history.

Do awesome stuff!

[throwawaybutwhy]

Well, if all you want is going to Mars ASAP, this is less of a hurdle than it seems.

Getting back is the harder part.

Could you add your email to your profile? Is the location just in Hawthorne/LA?

[sxarose]

I just added it (thanks for pointing that out) but for anyone that wants to get in touch it is anthony.rose [at] spacex.com.

Edit: and there are other locations too, including Redmond, WA.

[ColinWright]

Your email address is still not on your profile. Did you add it to the window only visible to the HN mods? Or have you removed it again?

Regardless, as I type this, there are no contact details in your profile.

[nynx]

I suppose you're not looking for any more interns?

[sxarose]

We're still discussing the plans for 2021 given the challenges w/ CV19, but feel free to ping me (email in profile) and I can send you more info.

Unfortunately for a lot of us outside the US, this is just a dream.

[robotresearcher]

Elon started outside the US, and I'm sure many of the team did too.

[sxarose]

Yep - I'm from the UK :)

[ninjamayo]

I am partially from the UK but I imagine you need citizenship to work for a rocket company like SpaceX.
