xAI is pioneering the development of AI systems with the ambitious mission of understanding the universe and advancing human knowledge. As a Member of Technical Staff focusing on Enterprise API and Applied AI, you'll work in a dynamic, flat-structured organization where excellence and initiative are highly valued.

The role combines technical expertise with customer-facing responsibilities, similar to an AI startup CTO.

We operate with a unique culture where all engineers share the same title and are encouraged to work across multiple areas. The team is small, highly motivated, and focused on engineering excellence. Leadership opportunities are merit-based, awarded to those who consistently deliver outstanding results.

The interview process is thorough and technically focused, consisting of an initial screening followed by four technical interviews, including coding assessment, systems hands-on evaluation, project presentation, and team meet-and-greet. We pride ourselves on a quick, efficient process typically completed within a week.

This role offers an exceptional opportunity to work at the forefront of AI technology while directly impacting customer success. You'll be part of a team that values strong communication, technical excellence, and the ability to navigate ambiguity in a fast-paced startup environment. The position comes with competitive compensation, equity, and comprehensive benefits, making it an attractive opportunity for those passionate about advancing AI technology.
