AI Tutor, Design - Temporary

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, DESIGN - TEMPORARY

In this role, you will help enhance Grok by providing high-quality data annotations and inputs tailored to design contexts. You will leverage your expertise in fields such as graphic design, brand and visual design, product or UI/UX design, web design, game design, and illustration to support its training. You will evaluate, refine, and create design work so Grok can distinguish weak design from work that is clear, functional, and well-resolved. This work is grounded in design judgment, not software engineering or mastery of every medium.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Evaluate design outputs across formats, including visual assets, layouts, documents, websites, interactive prototypes, and/or games
• Identify and clearly articulate design issues, including work that looks attractive but fails in use
• Refine, restyle, or recreate outputs when they fall short, producing exceptionally strong examples
• Write precise, well-reasoned annotations and critiques explaining the difference between mediocre, good, and excellent design
• Help label high-quality datasets spanning graphic design, interface design, web experiences, game feel, and related design writing
• Collaborate with technical staff on evaluation guidelines, rubrics, and examples that set a high bar for design quality
• Work across a wide range of briefs and styles, from simple static pieces to complex interactive products, while staying consistent in quality and judgment

POSITION DETAILS:

This is a temporary position with SpaceXSI, for the length of time as stated, and is subject to change with minimal notice as business needs dictate

• LOCATION: Remote (United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia); for US-based candidates, please note that we are unable to hire in Wyoming and Illinois at this time

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• 1+ years of professional experience (including freelance or contract work) in a design discipline such as graphic design, brand/visual design, product or UI/UX design, web design, game design, or illustration
• Portfolio of professional design work (personal site, Behance, Dribbble, ArtStation, or equivalent)

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Sharp eye for fundamentals (visual hierarchy, typography, spacing, color, composition, consistency, and clarity of communication)
• Ability to evaluate design quality outside your primary specialty and clearly articulate what works, what does not, and why
• Comfort creating high-quality reference examples, not only evaluating existing ones
• Strong written communication for critiques, annotations, and design rationale
• Strength across more than one design domain (for example, graphic design plus web, or UI plus game design)
• Experience shipping or professionally reviewing websites, product interfaces, or games
• Familiarity with accessibility and inclusive design principles
• Working knowledge of modern design tools such as Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, or equivalent
• Experience with generative AI design tools and a clear point of view on when AI output looks generic, broken, or well-designed
• Prior experience in design critique, art direction, QA, design review, data annotation, or AI evaluation

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

• This role 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 require working standard business hours in your local time zone
• We are unable to provide visa sponsorship
• Must be willing to travel to a SpaceXSI site
