That really depends on where you live :) Not so bright, If you are living in a country which has a low rent index. The calculation is really messed up, rent index should be a contributor not a multiplier.

Hey there! Thanks for the feedback. I'm part of the PeopleOps team at GitLab and we are always looking to improve our comp. calculator. We know it isn't perfect yet and we need feedback from everyone to create the most fair and accurate compensation calculator for everyone. If you want to share your experience and suggestions with me, I'd be happy to chat with you directly and share them with our internal compensatio…

I like that you guys are being open about this, but the way you calculate compensation leaves a pretty bad taste in my mouth. I very much dislike the idea that you, as an employer, are deciding what proportion of their income your employees should be spending on rent. You're also effectively saying that work done by someone who lives in a cheaper location is less valuable to the company than the same work done by someone who lives in a more expensive location. Maybe all employers do this and the only difference is that you guys are being honest about it, but still... yuck.

It's a shame -- and slightly surprises me -- that ITAR applies to roles like this. Does it apply to entire orgs, or is SpaceX to small to be worth the trouble of creating separate legal categories of employees?

One of the great things about this job is that we have to interact with a lot of teams across the company - so the clearance is definitely necessary and reduces red tape.

Not always. I never got a reply. (re. the rejection reason)

Hi Viraptor- as Ernst said, if you email me directly at sasha@gitlab.com I'd be happy to share feedback with you!

I did and Sasha dug out the interview notes from a few months ago. Kudos!

Product Security is responsible for working with engineers to design, build, advise and review security concerns across a diverse variety of projects.

I have sent multiple email to the email mentioned. Nobody ever replied. check tusharg1993 [AT] gmail [DOT] com

Thank you for taking the time to apply!

I assure you that this handle is monitored. These emails are reviewed by the hiring manager (my team) and EngSec recruiting team.

We get a lot of emails from non-security engineers and that's what we're looking for with this post. That's likely why you didn't receive a reply. For candidates that really stand out, the recruiting team might reach out about other positions.

You can apply directly to positions here(1) that might be a better fit for you.

Thanks again and happy new year. :)

I know this happens in pretty much all software based companies but SpaceX is the only one I have seen which explicitly states that on their hiring page.

Are there any resources for those of us persistently looking for jobs? I graduated from CMU with a CS degree in 2004 but never found an entry level job. Everyone tells me it should be easy to find one and then gets upset when I ask where. I am a C/C++ programmer just trying to survive.
