About xAI xAI’s mission is to create AI systems that can accurately understand the universe and aid humanity in its pursuit of knowledge. Our team is small, highly motivated, and focused on engineering excellence. This organization is for individuals who appreciate challenging themselves and thrive on curiosity. We operate with a flat organizational structure. All employees are expected to be hands-on and to contribute directly to the company’s mission. Leadership is given to those who show initiative and consistently deliver excellence. Work ethic and strong prioritization skills are important. All employees are expected to have strong communication skills. They should be able to concisely and accurately share knowledge with their teammates.  About the Team This newly formed non-cleared civilian team focuses on engineering and deploying xAI's AI capabilities (models, APIs, tools, and integrations) for U.S. federal civilian agencies, state/local governments, and non-sensitive public sector workflows. No security clearance is required or expected for these roles—we're building the bridge to responsible, high-impact AI adoption outside classified environments. You'll work closely with product, research, infrastructure, and legal/governance teams to make Grok and future models maximally useful for civilian missions while upholding safety, transparency, and ethical standards. Key Responsibilities Design, build, and optimize integrations between xAI's frontier models (e.g., Grok family) and civilian government systems, platforms, and data environments Develop secure, scalable solutions for non-classified use cases such as policy analysis, scientific research support, public health modeling, regulatory workflows, and citizen-facing services Collaborate on custom SDKs, APIs, developer tools, and documentation tailored for government and enterprise developers Partner with civilian agency stakeholders to understand requirements, prototype solutions, and iterate rapidly based on real-world feedback Contribute to safe deployment practices, including red-teaming, bias evaluation, output filtering, and explainability features for high-stakes non-classified applications Work cross-functionally to refine xAI products for public sector reliability, compliance (e.g., federal standards like FedRAMP considerations), and usability Ship production-grade code and features with a bias toward speed, simplicity, and measurable impact You Ideally Have 4+ years of hands-on software engineering experience building scalable systems, APIs, or AI/ML applications (strong Python proficiency required; other languages a plus) Experience working with large language models, generative AI, or agentic systems—either in research, production, or applied engineering Familiarity with government or public sector technology environments (federal civilian agencies, state/local gov, or regulated industries like healthcare, finance, or infrastructure) Strong product sensibility: ability to translate ambiguous stakeholder needs into concrete technical solutions Demonstrated ability to write clean, maintainable, high-performance code under tight timelines Exceptional problem-solving skills and intellectual curiosity—you thrive on hard, ambiguous challenges Excellent communication skills; you can explain complex technical concepts to non-technical partners clearly and concisely Preferred Qualifications Prior work on AI safety, governance, red-teaming, or responsible AI deployment Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), or API orchestration Background in policy-adjacent technical roles, civic tech, or public-interest technology Contributions to open-source AI projects or developer tools xAI is an equal opportunity employer.
