Job description

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.

• Communicating proactively with Site Admins, users, and developers about downtime, upgrades, and widespread issues
• Quickly designing and building dashboards and data products that turn complex data into clear, decision-ready insight
• Maintaining an inventory of existing reports and dashboards and working with business owners to decide what to migrate, rebuild, or retire
• Helping stakeholders pick the right solution for each use case (dashboard, custom application, Grok team bot, and so on) and leading the migration to it
• Setting standards for data access, row‑level security, and visualization quality

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• Strong SQL, including complex joins, window functions, and performance tuning
• Data visualization and dashboard design: chart selection, UX, and storytelling with data
• Row‑level security and data access controls
• Rapid dashboard development in one or more BI tools (Tableau, Looker, Power BI, Superset, or similar)
• Platform administration fundamentals: SSO/SAML, APIs, and monitoring
• Comfort using AI tools to speed up analysis, development, and migrations
