xAI
Hiring steadilyFlat headcount masks a controlled pivot: 17 joins against 16 exits, sales now the fastest-growing function as xAI brings in campaign and marketing ops managers. Engineering and security see steady churn—senior roles departed to SpaceX (2 exits), TRM Labs, and Freelo, while inbound hires include an image/video AI specialist and security engineer from AWS and Google. The APAC advertising sales lead was elevated to Managing Director, signaling commercial expansion beyond the U.S. core.
