Role

Who you are

Expert knowledge of monitoring technologies such as Prometheus, Grafana, and PagerDuty
Expert knowledge of deployment technologies such as Pulumi or Terraform
Expert knowledge of Kubernetes

What the job involves

Improving our observability by adding/adjusting metrics,
Building easily parsable dashboards,
Building reliable alerts,
Designing and overseeing our on-call rotations,
Improving our deployment process to increase reliability
The xAI London team is a team of software engineers with a focus on large-scale, highly-reliable distributed systems
We work on many different levels of the stack ranging from build systems, to production backend infrastructure, and frontend development
For example, we built large parts of the Grok production stack. We focus on building high-quality software and aren’t afraid to delve into technically complex topics to solve problems the right way

Application process

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 interview in Rust, C++ or Go,
Monitoring & deployment design interview,
Distributed systems design interview,
Meet the wider team and give a 20 minute presentation about the most difficult technical problems you have solved
Our goal is to finish the process within one week
All interviews will be conducted via Google Meet

Our take

xAI is dedicated to tackling the limitations of current AI systems by developing Grok, an AI model designed to provide accurate, reliable, and witty responses to a wide range of queries. Grok is equipped with real-time knowledge access, allowing it to offer insightful answers and even suggest relevant questions.

The company is focused on enhancing Grok's reasoning abilities, reliability, and safety through research directions such as scalable oversight mechanisms, formal verification techniques, and adversarial robustness improvements. Additionally, xAI aims to broaden Grok's applicability by integrating multimodal capabilities like vision and audio, enabling real-time interactions and assistance in various domains.

As xAI continues to refine Grok's capabilities, the company envisions a future where AI serves as a powerful tool for advancing scientific understanding, fostering innovation, and contributing to societal well-being.
