## The job, as Cursor posted it

The full text from the original posting, checked 14 Nov 2026.

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.

### SOFTWARE ENGINEER, NEW GRAD 2027

We're hiring new grad engineers to join SpaceXSI software engineering teams. You'll own real product work on the surfaces our users live in every day: Grok Bot, Cloud Agents, Cursor and the systems underneath. You will design, build, and ship delightful and bulletproof products and systems that engineers love to use every day. This role values a strong attention to detail, first principles reasoning, and great taste.

### RESPONSIBILITIES

- Add a small UI improvement so AI-generated code or PRs are easier to read and review
- Turn a teammate's rough idea into a working prototype over a few days, then iterate based on feedback
- Ship a contained feature (frontend + a bit of backend), then fix bugs and make it feel smoother after people use it

### BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

- Expected graduation in 2027 in CS, software engineering, computer engineering, or a related technical field
- Has built an app, open-source project, or shipped product that can be shared for review

### PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

- Blend strong engineering and AI tools as leverage without giving up correctness
- Learn fast, take ownership, and have already done something meaningfully hard early (internships or equivalent industry experience welcome)

### ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

- If there appears to be a fit, we'll reach out to schedule 2-3 short technicals. After, we'll schedule an onsite in our office, where you'll work on a small project, discuss ideas, and meet the team

### COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.

### Annual Salary

$185,000 USD

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.

Base salary is just one part of our total rewards package at SpaceXSI, which also includes equity, comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short & long-term disability insurance, life insurance, and various other discounts and perks.
