SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not.

SpaceXSI 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 bringing SpaceXSI's technology stack to Ads Platform and using it to transform our advertising stack.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Leverage the latest Grok models to power all stages of our advertising stack, from candidate selection to ranking, auction, campaign optimization, creative generation, and advertiser experience.
Own and operate systems and products, driving the majority of revenue.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
