About xAI
xAI’s mission is to create AI systems that can accurately understand the universe and aid humanity in its pursuit of knowledge. Our team is small, highly motivated, and focused on engineering excellence. This organization is for individuals who appreciate challenging themselves and thrive on curiosity. We operate with a flat organizational structure. All employees are expected to be hands-on and to contribute directly to the company’s mission. Leadership is given to those who show initiative and consistently deliver excellence. Work ethic and strong prioritization skills are important. All engineers are expected to have strong communication skills. They should be able to concisely and accurately share knowledge with their teammates.
About the Team
The Grok Code Team at xAI focuses on pushing the boundaries of Software Engineering where AI is in the front and centre of the full developer loop.
About the Role
In this role you will:
- Develop cutting-edge coding products, such as command-line interfaces (CLIs) and remote agents, to deliver an exceptional user experience aligned with our vision of advancing AI-driven software engineering.
- Collaborate closely with both individual and enterprise users to gather feedback, iteratively improve, and rapidly ship high-quality products.
- Contribute to the model development loop by providing feedback, setting up evaluations, collecting data, and assisting in training AI models to enhance performance and user satisfaction.
Exceptional candidates may have:
- Regular experience using coding agents in their daily workflows.
- A proven track record of building useful and delightful products, with examples shared in their applications.
- Experience developing products or tools on top of existing coding agents to enhance workflows or leverage advanced, lesser-known capabilities of these agents.
- Deep knowledge and a refined sense of "taste" in software developer tooling.
Location
- We hire engineers in Palo Alto. Our team usually works from the office 5 days a week but allow work-from-home days when required. Candidates are expected to be located near Palo Alto or open to relocation.
Interview Process
After submitting your application, the team reviews your CV and statement of exceptional work. If your application passes this stage, you will be invited to a 15-minute interview (“phone interview”) during which a member of our team will ask some basic questions. If you clear the initial phone interview, you will enter the main process, which consists of two interviews:
- Experience and Coding Deep Dive Interview: This interview will assess your coding skills, ability to formulate and solve concrete problems, and alignment with the role, including how your experience and skills fit within our team and objectives.
- Meet the Team: Present your past exceptional work and your vision with xAI to a small audience.
Our goal is to finish the main process within one week. All interviews will be conducted via Google Meet.
