Job description

About this role

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.

SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X.

We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You will join the Grok Main Product team, responsible for the user-facing chat portal at grok.com and related experiences. We build highly scalable frontends, APIs, and features that handle tens of thousands of queries per second. Our focus is delivering the best possible chat interface—seamless, intuitive, and maximally useful—to turn Grok into an essential "everything app" that amplifies human productivity across any domain.

Help build the portal that lets users accomplish anything: ask questions, create slide decks, solve puzzles, or tackle real work in engineering, law, medicine, and beyond. We're creating an easy-to-use experience that works flawlessly, driving a 10x increase in what knowledge workers can achieve. No prior AI experience required—just sharp thinking, relentless execution, and passion for AI that redefines what's possible.

Own end-to-end features that delight millions, collaborating closely with model and research teams to ship breakthroughs at pace.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Design and deliver polished, scalable user-facing features and APIs for Grok's chat experience.
  • Innovate on frameworks for rapid experimentation to iterate quickly and keep Grok leading in reasoning and utility.
  • Architect high-performance systems for personalized, reliable interactions at global scale.
  • Build and optimize data pipelines using real-time user signals to continuously improve the product.
  • Own projects from ideation to deployment and monitoring, gathering feedback to refine the seamless portal vision.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

  • Proactive self-starter who turns bold ideas into high-impact realities with focused execution.
  • Expert in TypeScript, Python, or Rust, with experience crafting clean, maintainable code.
  • Skilled in scalable architectures, Kubernetes, observability, and production tuning for performance/reliability.
  • Track record shipping consumer-facing products to millions, emphasizing user delight and feedback.
  • Passionate about AI's transformative potential and committed to building indispensable tools users rely on daily.

COMPENSATION

AND BENEFITS:

$180,000 - $440,000 USD

Base salary is just one part of our total rewards package at SpaceXSI, which also includes equity, comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short & long-term disability insurance, life insurance, and various other discounts and perks.

SpaceXSI is an equal opportunity employer. For details on data processing, view our Recruitment Privacy Notice .
