About the Role

Join SpaceXAI software engineering teams as a new graduate, owning real product work across Grok Bot, Cloud Agents, Cursor, and underlying systems. Work onsite in San Francisco with a small team emphasizing ownership and little hierarchy.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and ship reliable products and systems that engineers enjoy using.
• Drive concrete problems end to end, from UI through backend work when needed.
• Maintain product quality and correctness while moving quickly.
• Use AI tools to enhance engineering work without compromising correctness.

Candidate Profile

• Graduating in Spring 2027 in computer science, software engineering, computer engineering, or a related technical field.
• Must have built an app, open-source project, or shipped product that the team can open and review.
• Strong engineering fundamentals and judgment in using AI tools.
• Attention to detail, first-principles reasoning, and strong product taste.
• Learn quickly, take ownership, and demonstrate having accomplished something meaningfully difficult early in your career.
• Internships or equivalent industry experience are welcome.

Sample Projects

• Improve UI to make AI-generated code or pull requests easier to read and review.
• Turn a teammate's rough idea into a working prototype within a few days, then iterate on feedback.
• Ship a contained frontend feature with some backend work, fix bugs, and refine the experience after users try it.

Application and Interview Process

• Include an exceptional technical project or product feature that demonstrates your capabilities, such as a GitHub project, live app, open-source project, or shipped product.
• Selected candidates complete 2–3 short technical interviews.
• A subsequent onsite interview includes a small project, discussion of ideas, and meetings with the team.
