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.

TECHNICAL ACCOUNT MANAGER

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 SpaceXSI is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

Our terrestrial compute infrastructure team delivers high-performance GPU/CPU clusters and related systems to support demanding customer workloads. We are looking for a Technical Account Manager (TAM) / Solutions Architect (Technical Lead) to own the technical success of these deployments. In this role, you will lead technical implementation, integration, and optimization across all customer accounts, ensuring reliable, high-performance compute environments from initial provisioning through steady-state operations.

This role is part of a high-velocity team with extremely high expectations. You will apply deep technical expertise to drive customer outcomes in a fast-paced, autonomously driven, and demanding atmosphere. This role offers the opportunity to drive cutting-edge terrestrial compute infrastructure that powers next-generation AI capabilities for a key strategic partner.
