xAI is on a mission to create AI systems that can accurately understand the universe and aid humanity in its pursuit of knowledge. We're a small, highly motivated team focused on engineering excellence. Our London team specializes in large-scale, highly-reliable distributed systems, working on various levels of the stack from build systems to production backend infrastructure and frontend development.

We're seeking an experienced software engineer to join our dynamic start-up environment. Your main responsibilities will include helping customers use our API products, adding customer-specific features, improving public documentation and SDKs, and scaling our model deployments across inference locations.

The ideal candidate should have excellent communication skills, expert-level knowledge in a compiled language (preferably Rust or C++), experience with Python and TypeScript, and a solid understanding of the HTTP protocol. Additional valuable experiences include deploying ML models to production, writing developer documentation, creating SDKs, and using Pulumi or Terraform.

We offer a flat organizational structure where all employees are hands-on contributors. Leadership is given to those who show initiative and consistently deliver excellence. Work ethic and strong prioritization skills are crucial. We provide competitive compensation, equity, health benefits, and unlimited time off (subject to approval).

Join us in our mission to push the boundaries of AI and contribute to humanity's pursuit of knowledge!
