According to the listing, the successful candidate will train and refine xAI’s AI models by providing high-quality data, detailed annotations, reasoning, model output critiques and crypto market strategy.

“You will teach the models how crypto quantitative traders analyze blockchain data, model tokenomics, evaluate on-chain flows, manage extreme volatility, exploit inefficiencies across centralized and decentralized venues and reason through novel digital asset paradigms.”

The AI training will include decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, perpetual futures and derivatives trading, cross-exchange arbitrage and risk management for portfolios.

The company is looking for someone with a Master’s or PhD in a quantitative discipline as well as familiarity with crypto data platforms, including Dune Analytics, Glassnode, Nansen and DefiLlama.

The new job opening comes as xAi is merging with Musk’s rocket and satellite company SpaceX ahead of a possible Initial Public Offering (IPO).

Reuters reports that the merger values SpaceX at $1 trillion, and xAI at $250 billion, citing an anonymous source who is familiar with the matter.
