Support Operations Systems Lead

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 making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.

SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.

We're hiring a Support Operations Systems Lead to help own the systems, workflows, and operating rhythms that keep User Operations running reliably at scale. This is a hands-on technical support operations role for someone who can move fluidly between live triage of our projects, backlog management of internal requests, systems health, stakeholder communication, and end-to-end program ownership. You'll work across ticketing workflows, routing logic, queue health, labeling taxonomy, escalation paths, workforce signals, and internal tooling requests. The ideal person is more technical than a traditional operations lead, more hands-on than a traditional TPM, and less software-engineering-heavy than a dedicated SWE.

• →

  Own day-to-day operations for core support systems, including ticketing workflows, routing, queues, labels, taxonomy, escalations, and related tooling; triage urgent operational issues as they arise, especially when system behavior, workforce distribution, queue health, or SLA risk looks off

• →

  Manage intake, prioritization, and follow-through for systems requests from support managers, TSEs, operations leads, engineering, product, and other internal teams

• →

  Help maintain the team's roadmap by distinguishing one-off fixes from broader system improvements, surfacing recurring pain points, and pushing back on low-leverage work

• →

  Drive smaller technical and operational programs end-to-end, being responsible for discovery, scoping and execution, rollout, documentation and success metrics

• →

  Partner with engineering, data, IT, and support leaders to debug issues, validate changes, improve monitoring, and prevent repeat failures

• →

  Use SpaceXSI and AI-native workflows to reduce manual toil, investigate issues, summarize signals, draft documentation, test changes, and improve how the team operates

• Experience in support operations, systems operations, technical program management, or a similarly cross-functional technical systems role

• Experience working with operational systems such as ticketing platforms, routing workflows, queue configuration, labels/taxonomies, dashboards, Slack workflows, and internal tools

• Technical skills to investigate system issues, read configuration or code, and partner effectively with engineers

• Excellent at triage and prioritization: when several things are broken or ambiguous, you can quickly determine what is urgent, what needs investigation, what needs escalation, and what should become a longer-term fix

• Able to own work end to end: clarify the problem, align stakeholders, sequence the work, communicate tradeoffs, launch safely, and measure whether the change worked

• Comfortable pushing back thoughtfully and can tell stakeholders "not yet," "not this way," or "this should be part of a broader fix" while maintaining trust

• Energized by a role that blends firefighting with systems-building, and you have a strong bias toward action, clarity, and continuous improvement

• Remote role (United States)
