From the posting
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.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Design, build, and implement a large-scale distributed system that powers one of the world's largest supercomputing clusters.
Dive into the low-level stack to profile, debug, and optimize performance across diverse systems, including GPUs, Linux kernel, networking, and filesystems, to achieve peak efficiency.
Collaborate on hardware, software, and algorithm co-design to push the boundaries of AI training.
Maintain and innovate on our codebase to ensure scalability and reliability.
Develop tools to enhance team productivity and streamline workflows.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
Systems programming experience in C, C++, or Rust …
