Leadership is given to those who show initiative and consistently deliver excellence. Work ethic and strong prioritization skills are important. All engineers are expected to have strong communication skills. They should be able to concisely and accurately share knowledge with their teammates.
About the Team
The team focuses on scaling up high-quality reinforcement learning data for training Grok reasoning models. Our team spans the end-to-end data lifecycle, including designing evaluations, curating and synthesizing training data, and advancing RL algorithms.
About the Role
In this role you might:
- Design pipelines to scale up RL data generation and collection.
- Innovate next-paradigm of RL algorithms
Exceptional candidates may have:
- Strong engineering abilities

Interview Process
After submitting your application, the team reviews your CV and statement of exceptional work. If your application passes this stage, you will be invited to a 15-minute interview (“phone interview”) during which a member of our team will ask some basic questions. If you clear the initial phone interview, you will enter the main process, which consists of four technical interviews:
- Coding assessment in a language of your choice.
- Technical sessions (2): These sessions will be testing your ability to formulate, design and solve concrete problems in real world with LLM.
- Meet the Team: Present your past exceptional work and your vision with xAI to a small audience.
Our goal is to finish the main process within one week. All interviews will be conducted via Google Meet.
