About the 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.

FIELD ENGINEER

We're hiring Field Engineers to partner with prospective and strategic enterprise customers. You'll be the technical lead in the field for SpaceXSI, helping customers evaluate Grok Bot, Grok Build and Grok APIs, running proofs of concept, and making sure they see real value from AI in their engineering workflows. You'll work hand-in-hand with Sales, Product and Engineering to scope solutions, demo capabilities and advise technical stakeholders.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Independently drive the technical sale across Grok Bot, Grok Build and Grok APIs, from discovery through demos and proofs of concept, in partnership with Account Executives
  • Translate customer requirements into solution designs and rollout plans, including prompt strategy and context configuration
  • Deliver technical presentations, whiteboard sessions and hands-on workshops for developers and engineering leadership
  • Bring customer feedback to Product and Engineering to influence the roadmap
  • Hand off cleanly to post-sales teams and support expansion with technical validation
  • Contribute technical sales assets and examples to the company's shared library

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

  • Experience in Field Engineering, Solutions Architecture, Pre-Sales, or Consulting for enterprise software

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

  • Led technical evaluations or POCs for developer tools or AI products sold to engineering teams
  • Hands-on coding in at least one modern language
  • Presented to engineering leadership (Director, VP, CTO)
  • Working knowledge of CI/CD and enterprise rollout needs like SSO and security reviews

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Must be willing to travel up to 50%

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

The expected annual base salary range for this role is $164,500 - $224,000. This role is also eligible for sales commissions or bonuses, with an annual on-target earnings (OTE) range of $235,000 - $320,000. OTE includes base salary plus target incentive compensation, assuming 100% achievement of applicable performance targets. Actual incentive earnings depend on performance and the terms of the applicable plan.

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.

Base salary is just one part of our total rewards package at SpaceXSI, which also includes equity, comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short & long-term disability insurance, life insurance, and various other discounts and perks.
