SpaceX Super Intelligence

Infrastructure security engineer in cloud environments

In short

This role builds and secures cloud and hybrid infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure), covering IaC, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipeline security, identity management, compliance (PCI, NIST CSF, GDPR, HIPAA), and incident response. It's an onsite, full-time senior position in London at a company building a "Super Intelligence" stack including Grok models and related applications. It requires 3–5 years of cloud/infrastructure security experience, a CS/Cybersecurity degree, hands-on IaC and scripting skills (Python, Terraform), and candidates must be located in the EU/UK or willing to relocate.

About
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.
