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.

SOFTWARE ENGINEER, GROK PRODUCT

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

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Proactive self-starter who turns bold ideas into high-impact realities with focused execution
• Craft clean, maintainable code
• 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
