Job Overview

We are looking for exceptional generalists who want to help build TerraFirma across operations, strategy, business development, recruiting, finance, communications, partnerships, and other critical areas of the company.

This role is intentionally broad. You will take ownership of important problems that may not yet have a clear owner, learn unfamiliar subjects quickly, and work across teams to move high-priority initiatives forward.

The right person is highly resourceful, organized, thoughtful, and effective. You should be comfortable moving between strategic thinking and detailed execution, communicating with a wide range of stakeholders, and taking a project from a loosely defined idea through completion.

Your exact responsibilities will depend on your background, strengths, and the company’s most important needs.

Turn ambiguous goals into clear plans and practical results
Research complex topics and make thoughtful recommendations
Build processes that help TerraFirma operate and scale
Support leadership on important company initiatives

Basic Qualifications

Strong record of achievement
Excellent written and verbal communication
Strong judgment, organization, and attention to detail
High ownership and resourcefulness
Ability to learn quickly and operate with limited direction

Compensation & Benefits

Base compensation will vary based on the responsibilities of the role and factors such as relevant experience and education.
Salaries and leveling will be determined on a case-by-case basis if an offer is extended.
Our total compensation package also includes equity in TerraFirma.
Relocation packages are available to help cover moving costs, if applicable.

About TerraFirma

At TerraFirma, we’re redefining how the world moves earth for construction. Founded by former SpaceX engineers and backed by Kleiner Perkins and Bain Capital Ventures, TerraFirma is automating construction to make it faster, cheaper, and safer.

Our Story & Mission

At SpaceX, we were part of the teams that built the largest rocket in human history, launched the largest constellation of satellites ever made, and delivered connectivity to millions of people worldwide. What we learned was simple: infrastructure is everything.

At Starbase, the biggest barrier to launching missions to Mars was not building the rocket. It was how slow, expensive, and complex it was to build the infrastructure around it. We lacked buildings, roads, water, power, communications, and waste management, and constructing them took far more time and resources than it should have.

From a first-principles perspective, that doesn't make sense. It shouldn't be this hard or costly to create the foundations for progress. That’s when we realized something important: the same engineering mindset that enabled us to tackle space exploration and mass manufacturing could be applied to infrastructure. By bringing the principles of simplification, iteration, acceleration, and automation to construction, we can unlock a new era in how the world builds.

Accelerating infrastructure unlocks progress across every domain, creating a self-sustaining engine for tackling humanity’s toughest challenges. The innovations we develop on Earth will lay the groundwork for the technologies that one day make settlement on Mars possible.
