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.\nSpaceXSI 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.\nSR. MODEL ENGINEER, IMAGINE\nAs a multimodal engineer on the Imagine Model Team, you will develop cutting-edge AI experiences beyond text, with a strong focus on enabling high-fidelity understanding and generation across image and video modalities, while also incorporating audio where it enhances visual content (e.g., synchronized audio for video). Responsibilities span data curation, modeling, training, inference serving, and product integration, covering both pre-training and post-training phases. You will collaborate closely with product teams to push model frontiers and deliver exceptional end-to-end user experiences.\nRESPONSIBILITIES:\nCreate and drive engineering agendas to advance multimodal capabilities, with emphasis on image and video generation, editing, understanding, controllable/long-horizon synthesis, agentic planning, RL training, and world simulation (including audio integration for richer video experiences)\nImprove data quality through annotation, filtering, augmentation, synthetic generation, captioning, and in-depth data studies, particularly for visual and audio data\nDesign evaluation frameworks, metrics, benchmarks, evals, and reward models tailored to image/video/audio quality and coherence\nImplement efficient algorithms for state-of-the-art model performance, including real-time inference, distillation, and scalable serving for visual content\nDevelop scalable data collection and processing pipelines for multimodal (primarily image/video-focused) datasets\nCollaborate cross-functionally to integrate AI solutions into production and rapidly iterate based on user feedback\nBASIC QUALIFICATIONS:\nExperience writing production-quality code in Python, PyTorch, JAX, Rust, or C++\nExperience in multimodal applications such as graphics engines, rendering techniques, image/video understanding and generation, world models, real-time simulation, or controllable/long-horizon visual content creation\nPREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:\nExperience in audio/speech processing or music/audio generation experience is a plus where it supports video\nExperience in data-driven experiment designs, systematic analysis, and iterative model debugging\nExperience developing or working with large-scale distributed machine learning systems\nExperience with leading studies that significantly improve neural network capabilities and performance through better data or modeling\nAbility to deliver optimal end-to-end user experiences\nHands-on contributor with initiative, excellence, strong work ethic, prioritization skills, and excellent communication\nExperience in SFT, RL, evals, human/synthetic data collection, or agentic systems\nProficiency in Python, JAX/XLA, PyTorch, Rust/C++, Spark, Ray, and related large-scale frameworks\nExperience with agentic RL training, controllable/long-horizon generation, or multimodal agents that reason and act across modalities (especially in visual domains)\nCOMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:\n$220,000 - $357,000 USD\nBase salary is just one part of our total rewards package at SpaceXSI, which also includes equity, comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short & long-term disability insurance, life insurance, and various other discounts and perks.\nSpaceXSI is an equal opportunity employer.
