How SpaceX posts

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

65.0%
of open roles publish a salary range
91.3%
of its listings are still up 30 days after appearing
40.9%
of those closed while an identical title stayed posted
186
listings we saw close in the last 90 days

More than half of SpaceX’s listings are still up at the end of our 40-day observation window, so we cannot yet say how long a typical one lasts.

Estimated over 880 listings, of which 186 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 186 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. See the methodology.
