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.
About the Role
We're hiring new grad engineers to join SpaceXAI software engineering teams. You'll own real product work on the surfaces our users live in every day: Grok Bot, Cloud Agents, Cursor and the systems underneath.
You will design, build, and ship delightful and bulletproof products and systems that engineers love to use every day. This role values a strong attention to details, first principles reasoning, and great taste. That means picking up concrete problems, driving them end to end (UI through a bit of backend when needed), and raising the bar on taste and correctness while you move fast.
You'll work alongside a small, talent-dense team with high ownership and little hierarchy. Strong fundamentals matter. So does judgment about when to use AI tools as leverage without giving up correctness.
You may be a fit if
- You're graduating in Spring 2027 (CS, software engineering, computer engineering, or a related technical field).
- You've already built something great — an app, OSS, or shipped product we can open and review (required).
- You blend strong engineering and AI tools as leverage without giving up correctness.
- You learn fast, take ownership, and have already done something meaningfully hard early (internships or equivalent industry experience welcome).
Sample projects include
- Adding a small UI improvement so AI-generated code or PRs are easier to read and review
- Turning a teammate’s rough idea into a working prototype over a few days, then iterating based on feedback
- Shipping a contained feature (frontend + a bit of backend), then fixing bugs and making it feel smoother after people use it
Applying
If there appears to be a fit, we'll reach out to schedule 2–3 short technicals. After, we'll schedule an onsite in our office, where you'll work on a small project, discuss ideas, and meet the team.
In your application, please share an example of an exceptional technical project or product feature you've built that best demonstrates your technical capabilities (GitHub, live app, OSS, or shipped product).
