This infrastructure powers critical workloads across training and product, enabling models to run code, build software, interact with tools, and even control applications with user interfaces. We provision containers and virtual machines on large-scale clusters, granting models interactive control over these remote environments. Our work spans the full stack: from orchestrating massive jobs and resource scheduling at the cluster level, to fine-tuning filesystem performance on nodes. The Sandbox service enables Grok to safely run and test code in real-time for user queries, and supports reinforcement learning in training, where models interactively explore tools ranging from compilers to productivity apps.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>Required Qualifications</strong></span></p> <ul> <li>Expert knowledge of Rust, C++ or Go</li> <li>Familiarity with Python</li> <li>Deep experience with either Linux or Windows systems (familiarity with both is a strong plus)</li> <li>Experience with virtualisation and containerisation technologies (e.g., cgroups, KVM, gVisor, QEMU)</li> <li>Solid knowledge of the networking stack</li> </ul><div class="content-conclusion"><p><em>xAI is an equal opportunity employer.
