Job description

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.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

We're seeking an exceptional Android engineer to join a small, high-impact team dedicated to creating the world's most valuable AI application, judged by the impact it delivers to users. You'll shape cutting-edge mobile experiences, blending technical mastery with a keen product sense to deliver brilliance that resonates with users. You will work on the most critical product or technical challenge at any given time.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Proficient in Kotlin, Jetpack Compose and reactive programming.
  • Has a strong product sense and high craft bar. Builds intuitive and delightful user experiences.
  • Experienced in architecting modern large production apps while embodying technical excellence.
  • Strong sense of ownership and agency. Able to put on multiple hats and take responsibility for large areas.
  • Able to optimize for performance, stability and reliability.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • A proven track record of shipping standout apps or features that demonstrate both technical excellence and exceptional product intuition.
  • Deep expertise in the Android ecosystem and related development tools (Android Studio, Gradle, etc.).
  • Rust for working with our backend components.

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

$180,000 - $440,000 USD

Base salary is just one part of our total rewards package at SpaceXSI, which also includes equity, comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, short & long-term disability insurance, life insurance, and various other discounts and perks.
