About xAI
xAI, the company behind Grok, hires AI tutors directly rather than through a vendor. Tutors create and label data, write reference answers and test the model in their area of expertise.
Openings include generalist tutors and specialists in STEM, coding, finance, medicine, languages and creative fields. Roles may be full-time or part-time contracts and are typically remote.
Tips before you apply
- Direct roles at a model lab are competitive — tailor your résumé to the specific tutor track.
- Some roles have time-zone or hardware requirements; read them before applying.
