Elon Musk’s SpaceX hires 14-year-old Kairan Quazi as software engineer

Elon Musk-owned SpaceX hired a 14 years old software engineer who cleared SpaceX’s ‘technically challenging, fun’ interview process. Kairan Quazi becomes the youngest person to be hired by any spacecraft company.

Quazi wrote a LinkedIn post on Thursday, sharing his excitement to join the coolest company on the planet. He’s set to join SpaceX as a Software Engineer on the Starlink engineering team.

In his LinkedIn post, he also showed gratitude to the company that did not use his age as an arbitrary and outdated proxy for maturity and ability.
