AI Tutor, Math - Temporary

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. 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.

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 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.

AI TUTOR, MATH - TEMPORARY

In this role, you will help enhance Grok by providing high-quality data annotations, labels, and inputs focused on pure mathematics. You will draw on your expertise in areas such as abstract algebra, real and complex analysis, topology, graph theory, and other pure mathematics subfields, to evaluate model outputs, identify mathematical errors or gaps in reasoning, and produce clear, rigorous solutions and explanations. Your work will help train Grok to distinguish flawed or inadequately justified approaches from solutions that are mathematically sound, accurately modeled, and practically applicable.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Use proprietary software applications to annotate and label data for designated projects
• Support the delivery of high-quality, accurate, and well-curated datasets that meet project standards
• Collaborate with technical teams to develop and train new tasks, contributing to the successful development and implementation of innovative technologies and initiatives
• Work closely with technical staff to improve the design, functionality, and efficiency of annotation tools and workflows
• Solve problems across pure mathematics subfields aligned with your expertise, including abstract algebra, real and complex analysis, topology, graph theory, and related areas. Develop detailed solutions and critically evaluate AI-generated responses
• Interpret, analyze, and execute tasks accurately in accordance with established guidelines and project requirements
