Who is Kairan Quazi? Learn all there is to know about the 14-year-old who is set to join SpaceX right after his graduation from school.

Kairan Quazi skipped elementary school and was the youngest AI fellow at a Fortune 100 company global research organization. At 14 years old, he is set to graduate this week from Santa Clara University’s School of Engineering. Soon, he’ll be the newest team member of SpaceX.

“Next stop…SpaceX!!!,” Quazi posted on Instagram alongside an excerpt of an email from the spacecraft manufacturer company offering him the job. “I accepted a position as Software Engineer at one of the coolest companies on the planet! Thank you everyone for continuing to follow my crazy journey!”

While some may be shocked at his many accomplishments as a teenager, Kairan does not let a number impact his success. “I can’t believe so many people would want me to be graduating middle school right now,” Kairan commented on Tuesday.

“It feels cruel to infantilize my intellectual and emotional needs and demand that I be trapped in a linear environment where the only metric is age.” The Bay Area teen prodigy, who received his high school diploma from the state of California at age 10, said he accepted the offer letter in late April and will begin work for Starlink – the satellite internet team at SpaceX – next month.

What did Kairan Quazi have to say about SpaceX?

Quazi also said that he picked SpaceX to work for because the company did not use his age as a proxy for maturity.

Kairan, who currently lives in Pleasanton, Cali., said he applied for 97 jobs. Three offered him one – but he chose SpaceX as they did not use his age as a proxy for maturity. Kairan said he chose SpaceX because he’s “excited by the challenge of applying multidisciplinary skills toward expanding communication capabilities across the globe.”

Under Washington state labor laws, SpaceX does not need special permission to hire the teen because he meets the minimum legal age to work.
