Job description
Quoted in full from SpaceXAI's job posting. Gavroche does not edit it.
SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.
SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to understand the universe and help expand humanity’s knowledge and capabilities. We work across the full Super Intelligence stack: compute (Colossus supercomputers), models (Grok), and applications (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.

We’re seeking a talented corporate paralegal to support our corporate in-house legal department. In this role, you'll provide critical support to the legal team, including entity management, corporate governance and overall legal operations.

- Work cross-functionally to develop and implement processes to streamline legal operations, integrate technology tools, and drive overall efficiencies.
- Be a team player: pitch in for anything needed in the legal department, even if it’s new or outside your core responsibilities.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor’s degree required.
- Have a strong sense of ownership, be inquisitive and enthusiastic about technology, and enjoy being continually challenged.
- Ability to thrive in ambiguous situations and can demonstrate sound judgment under pressure.
- Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to independently prioritize and manage multiple tasks.
- Team-first player who is highly mission-driven.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with a proactive mindset.
- Tech-savvy with an understanding or keen interest in emerging technologies like AI.
- Notary registration or a strong interest in obtaining certification is desirable.
