On 14 November 2026 xAI, whose careers site now lists roles under the SpaceXSI name, had 20 open AI Tutor roles: 12 languages (from Amharic to Uzbek) at $35-$45 an hour for US-based candidates, math, applied math, physics and materials science at $45-$75, design, humanities and writing at $35-$75, and legal at $50-$100. All are 6-month temporary roles, remote from the US, UK, Canada and Australia (plus India for the science roles), with full-time preferred. xAI does not publish pay for candidates outside the US or describe its assessment beyond saying details come during interviews.
- Every xAI AI Tutor role is temporary: 6 months, possibly extended or made permanent, and "subject to change with minimal notice".
- US pay is published per role; international pay is shared during recruitment.
- xAI is one route among several: other programs list math, legal and language tutoring work too.
xAI AI tutor jobs open now
An xAI AI tutor trains Grok, xAI's model, by labelling data, writing solutions and judging the model's answers in one field or language. For what AI tutoring is in general, and what happened to xAI's generalist tutors in 2025, see our AI tutor jobs guide; this page lists the roles themselves. xAI's careers page is titled "Open Roles | SpaceXSI & X Platform" and lists each tutor role as "Remote, International" (xAI careers).

Source: each role's listing on xAI's job board, read 14 November 2026, for example Math, Spanish, Legal & Compliance, Writing and Design. Pay is as stated for "US-based candidates"; each listing also says "International candidates: Information will be provided to you during the recruitment process."
What xAI tutors do, by field
Science tutors solve and check. The Math listing asks tutors to "evaluate model outputs, identify mathematical errors or gaps in reasoning, and produce clear, rigorous solutions and explanations" (xAI).
Language tutors work mostly with sound. The Spanish listing says "In this role, you will help train and refine Grok's voice and language capabilities in Spanish", and its first task is to "Annotate, label, and provide feedback on multilingual audio clips, voice recordings, and speech samples using proprietary tools" (xAI). If you speak another language, compare the rates in bilingual AI training jobs and AI voice data jobs.
Legal tutors apply law to facts; the listing requires a "Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree Active bar admission in good standing 2+ years of experience practicing law" (xAI). Writing tutors need "5+ years of relevant professional writing experience in at least one specialty" (xAI), and design tutors "1+ years of professional experience (including freelance or contract work) in a design discipline" (xAI).
Contract terms: length, hours, location and benefits
These terms appear on every AI Tutor listing we read on 14 November 2026.
- Temporary: "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", lasting "6 months (extensions or conversion to a permanent role may be available based on business needs)" (xAI).
- Hours: "full-time positions are preferred and require working standard business hours in your local time zone", though part-time is possible.
- Location: remote from the countries in the table; "for US-based candidates, please note that we are unable to hire in Wyoming and Illinois at this time".
- Visas and travel: "We are unable to provide visa sponsorship" and "Must be willing to travel to a SpaceXSI site".
- Benefits: "Benefits for eligible US-based positions include health insurance, 401(k) plan, and paid sick leave." That is unusual in this field, where most programs hire contractors.
The xAI tutor application and assessment
xAI does not publish its assessment. Each listing says only "Specific details and role-specific information will be provided to you during the interview process." (xAI). We have no inside knowledge of the steps and do not publish test content. Prepare by reading the listing's basic and preferred qualifications closely, since they are specific: the math role accepts "a medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) or a high-level mathematics competition" in place of a graduate degree.

Other programs recruiting tutors in the same fields
xAI is not the only route. On 14 November 2026 these programs listed comparable work, alphabetically:

- Handshake AI: Mathematics Expert (India) up to $47 an hour and Physics Expert (India) up to $63, both needing Indian work authorization (math, physics).
- Mercor: Lawyers & Legal Experts global pool at $100-$140 an hour (Mercor); Spanish Tutors at $60-$65 (Mercor); linguistic expert listings at $40 for languages including Spanish, French and German (Mercor).

Common questions
Does xAI hire AI tutors outside the US?
Yes, in listed countries only. On 14 November 2026 its AI Tutor roles were open to the US, UK, Canada and Australia, with India added for math, applied math, physics and materials science. Pay for international candidates is given during recruitment.
Is an xAI AI tutor job permanent?
No. Each listing is a temporary 6-month position with SpaceXSI, which may be extended or converted to a permanent role based on business needs, and can change with minimal notice.
What is the xAI AI tutor assessment like?
xAI does not publish it. Its listings say role-specific details are provided during the interview process. We do not publish test content; read each listing's qualifications closely instead.
Do xAI language tutors record audio?
The language roles focus on Grok's voice: the Spanish listing asks tutors to annotate and give feedback on audio clips, voice recordings and speech samples, and to help produce natural audio data. They pay $35-$45 an hour for US-based candidates.
Can I be an xAI AI tutor part-time?
Possibly. Listings say a role may be offered full-time or part-time depending on needs and availability, but full-time is preferred and means working standard business hours in your local time zone.
Does xAI sponsor visas for AI tutor roles?
No. Each AI Tutor listing read on 14 November 2026 says xAI is unable to provide visa sponsorship, and US candidates cannot be hired in Wyoming or Illinois.
