Accountant (EMEA)

About the Role

SpaceX is hiring an Accountant for its Dublin office to support the EMEA region. The role focuses on keeping the general ledger accurate and reliable while contributing to the wider finance operations of a fast-moving international business. The team supports Starlink, the broadband internet system built to deliver connectivity to millions of users around the world.

Starlink is SpaceX’s largest satellite network, made up of thousands of satellites, consumer hardware, and the software layer that connects everything together.
