Network Engineer — ML Infrastructure (High-Speed Interconnects)

xAI is hiring a Network Engineer for ML Infrastructure, focused on high-speed interconnects, in Palo Alto. **Why this role is on the roster.** Hiring specifically for copper and optical interconnect fabric across training and inference clusters says interconnect — not GPU count — is a named bottleneck at xAI's current scale. It was opened alongside an RL Inference req, which reads as a build-out rather than a backfill. **Stated compensation:** $180,000–$440,000. Sourced from xAI's own job board.
