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.

This team owns 100% GPU uptime, end to end, 24/7, across both compute and facility. It owns incident response and the engineering behind it, holds central control authority from the customer back to the facility, runs day-to-day sustainment of live data halls, and leads deployment engineering for new data hall bring-up. The team will also build the automation for continuous response...
