Recruited for the starship software team. I got cut in the second round. They filled the position and told me the team I am recruiting for no longer needs me.
I applied online. I interviewed at SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA) in Nov 2025
Interview
I got reached out to by a recruiter to schedule a phone interview with a lead engineer on the team. He asked me questions about certain projects I listed on my resume, and then proceeded to ask me questions on different data structures & algorithms, and also where using them would be useful. After doing well there I got an email to complete a technical assessment. They allot 12 hours to complete it, but it shouldn't take you that long. After submitting that, I didn't get a response for about 4-weeks. Unfortunately, I didn't get the job but got good feedback.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One of the questions:
What is a hash table, what does it offer, how does hashing work, what are hash collisions and how can they be addressed?
Had a phone screening then technical interview. Then did not make it to next round. Phone screening asked both behavioral and technical questions more about concepts and working with a coding language (ie: python). Technical was typical straightforward coding question.
