How SpaceX posts

Employer behavior measured from this employer’s own listings, including ones that have since closed.

69.3%
of open roles publish a salary range
92.0%
of its listings are still up 30 days after appearing
35.6%
of those closed while an identical title stayed posted
312
listings we saw close in the last 90 days

Open roles are down 58 from a week ago (909 then).

More than half of SpaceX’s listings are still up at the end of our 87-day observation window, so we cannot yet say how long a typical one lasts.

Estimated over 1,232 listings, of which 312 closed during the window — listings still up are counted as lasting at least as long as we have seen them, rather than being left out. Leaving them out is what makes a plain average of closed listings read far too short.

The repost figure describes the 312 of this employer’s listings we have watched close since September 2026 — not all of its hiring, and not a rate we project forward. A repost means the listing closed while the same employer had another live listing under the same title: a signal, not a verdict, since two genuinely separate openings can share one title.
