About the Role
As a Forward Deployed AI Engineer at xAI, you will work directly with our end customers, owning strategy and implementation. Your responsibilities will resemble those of a hands-on AI startup CTO: you'll work in a small team to deliver high-stakes projects with clients. Your daily tasks may include building large-scale LLM workflows and interacting with customers to understand their needs, primarily focusing on implementing solutions into the real world of our partner's organizations.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and maintain robust and scalable AI-driven solutions.
- Work with large, complex codebases and design efficient data processing and model serving architectures.
- Ship high-quality code and successfully complete projects in challenging environments.
- Solve real-world business problems and deliver measurable impact through AI solutions.
- Navigate ambiguity and adapt to changing requirements and priorities in a fast-paced startup environment.
Ideal Experiences
- Successfully designing and implementing cutting-edge AI solutions using large language models (LLMs) and other advanced AI techniques in a production environment.
- Deep understanding of machine learning fundamentals, including model evaluation, training, and problem decomposition.
- Strong engineering background in computer science, mathematics, software engineering, physics, or a related field, with a proven track record of applying this knowledge to solve complex problems.
- Mastery of one or more programming languages such as Python, Java, C++, or TypeScript/JavaScript, with a focus on writing clean, efficient, and maintainable code.
- Experience working with massive datasets, optimizing performance, and scaling systems to handle high-throughput workloads.
- Building large-scale neural recommendation systems.
Interview Process
- Application Review: Your CV and statement of exceptional work will be reviewed by a technical team member.
- Phone Interview: A 15-minute interview to ask some basic questions.
- Technical Interviews:
- Coding assessment in a language of your choice.
- Systems hands-on: Demonstrate practical skills in a live problem-solving session.
- Project deep-dive: Present your past exceptional work to a small audience.
- Meet and greet with the wider team.
Our goal is to complete the main process within one week. All interviews will be conducted via Google Meet.
