About the role
SpaceXSI is hiring a Software Engineer, Training/Inference (C++) to design and optimize large-scale model serving systems used by Grok across millions of users. You will own distributed infrastructure from global KV cache to auto-scaling and batching, focusing on high performance and reliability. The role demands strong low-level programming in C/C++ or Rust, with experience in GPU kernels, quantization, and performance tuning to deliver fast, scalable inference engines.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
