The 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.
AI TUTOR, VIDEO - TEMPORARY (WEEKEND SHIFT)
In this role, you will help train and refine Grok's ability to interpret and generate video content with precision and technical depth. You will draw on your background in editing, motion graphics, and visual effects to evaluate and annotate video data that reflects how strong work is made. Your expertise will directly shape Grok's video capabilities, and your work will reach people around the world.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Use proprietary software to provide labels, annotations, and inputs on projects involving video and multimedia elements
- Critically analyze and clearly articulate what makes a video sequence work or fail at a technical level

- SHIFT: This role has set working hours on Saturday and Sunday and may be offered as a full-time or part-time position, depending on role/business needs and candidate availability; full-time positions are preferred and typically follow a Saturday - Wednesday or Thursday - Monday schedule
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
- 1+ years of professional experience (including freelance or contract work) in video editing, motion graphics, VFX, or post-production
- Portfolio of video work, such as edited shorts, motion graphics, VFX breakdowns, or compositing reels (e.g., personal website, YouTube, Vimeo, X, ArtStation)
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
- Strong skills in video editing, pacing, color grading, and narrative flow
- Hands-on proficiency with tools such as Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects, Nuke, or similar
- Experience with compositing, rotoscoping, motion tracking, or 3D integration (matchmoving, CG compositing)
- Familiarity with AI video generation tools (Grok Imagine, Runway, Kling, Sora, Veo, or similar)
- Scripting or automation experience in post-production (Python, plugins, or similar)
- Clear written and verbal communication in English, including the ability to explain technical and creative decisions
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- We are unable to provide visa sponsorship
- Must be willing to travel to a SpaceXSI site
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:
US-based candidates: $40/hour - $75/hour depending on factors including relevant experience, skills, education, geographic location, and qualifications. International candidates: Information will be provided to you during the recruitment process.
