About the role

As a Software Engineer on Compute Infra at SpaceXAI, you'll build the sandbox infrastructure to give every agent their own VM. These VMs power coding agents, Grok Bot, reinforcement learning, and more. We operate one of the largest set of sandbox clusters in the world, at millions of CPU cores, across third- and first-party datacenters. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, math, or scientific discipline, OR 2+ years of professional experience building software in lieu of a degree
  • You have deep experience with building compute orchestration (e.g. Kubernetes, Mesos)
  • You have built and operated large fleets of VMs / isolated sandboxes
  • You have experience with the Linux kernel and virtualization technologies
  • You enjoy thinking about infrastructure primitives that future agents will require
More about this role

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.
