xAI seeks a Senior Employment Counsel to lead compliance programs for state/federal employment law, manage OFCCP reporting, advise on separations and benefits, and train leadership.

xAI is hiring a Security Threat Manager to lead day-to-day incident response, threat hunting, and detection engineering within the company's security operations team. Key responsibilities include commanding security incidents, developing new detection use cases, conducting threat hunting missions, managing security infrastructure, and designing automation to improve efficiency and reduce false positives. The role requires a minimum of 2+ years in information security, strong Python scripting for automation, cloud security fundamentals, experience with security tools and log analysis platforms, and hands-on knowledge of malware analysis, forensics, or penetration testing. xAI is a small, mission-driven AI company with a flat structure where all employees are expected to contribute directly and work with minimal supervision. The position requires 24/7 on-call rotation for incident response, and relevant certifications like CISA, CRISC, or Security+ are preferred. This is a technical, hands-on role ideal for security professionals who thrive on solving complex threats and improving detection capabilities in a fast-paced startup environment.

Skilled Electrician position at xAI's Memphis data center supporting installation, maintenance, and commissioning of electrical systems (high/medium-voltage power distribution, generators, UPS, transformers). Requires journeyman license, 2+ years hands-on industrial/data center experience, and ability to work flexible/night shifts. This is a skilled trades role, not software engineering.

xAI is seeking a Civil Engineer to lead the design and delivery of hyperscale data center campuses and co-located power generation facilities, reporting directly as a key infrastructure leader. You'll own end-to-end civil and land development engineering—site grading, stormwater management, hydrology and hydraulics analysis, floodplain modeling, underground utilities, environmental compliance, and cross-functional coordination with structural, MEP, geotechnical, and construction teams. Required experience includes a Bachelor's or Master's in Civil Engineering, a Professional Engineer (PE) license, 5+ years of progressive experience on hyperscale or industrial projects (data centers, power plants, semiconductor fabs), and strong proficiency in Civil 3D, HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, SWMM, and ArcGIS. xAI operates with a flat structure, small highly-motivated team, and emphasis on hands-on contributions and engineering excellence; the role demands exceptional speed of execution and quality in fast-paced environments, with site travel required. PE licensure and deep expertise in floodplain modeling, hydrology, and mission-critical industrial infrastructure are key deal-breakers for this high-ownership, high-impact position.
