Top rates of $75–$100/hr typical, median $75/hr, from 5 distinct advertised rates.
Workers report earning
$38 to $65/hr effective, once unpaid onboarding and waiting for tasks are counted. xAI tutors are paid the hourly rate they sign for, about $38 to $65, and the gap to watch is the lower offer made outside the United States and the September 2025 layoff of 500 general tutors overnight.

Where the reported figure comes from

Public worker reports, the platform's own published rates and help pages, and reporting, gathered by hand on 2026-09-12. Evidence rated low. It is not measured from our job feed, and it never enters our medians, percentiles, sorting or alerts, which read published rates only.

Country: Posted ranges are for US candidates. International candidates report offers around $38 or lower for the same role, and one US tutor recalls $40 being paid regardless of location in 2025.

  • ▲ Hourly employment or contract through xAI's own payroll with tracked hours, so the effective rate equals the offered rate. US postings run $35 to $100 by specialty, Glassdoor self-reports $39 to $64, and international candidates report offers around $38 for roles posted at $45 to $75.
  • ▲ Few first-hand pay reports exist because tutors are employees under NDA, and the Glassdoor figures are self-reports.
  • ▲ The September 2025 layoff cut 500 general tutors by email with access removed immediately.
  • ▲ Non-US offers are discounted from the posted range and the discount is not published.
  • ▲ Specialist roles now dominate, so the general tutor rate is less relevant in 2026.

That median is 7% above the $70/hr median across every platform we track.

What it hires for

Where its roles are open

xAI Specialist AI Tutors publishes no country list

Tutor roles may be performed remotely from any location worldwide, subject to legal eligibility, time-zone compatibility, and role-specific needs. For US-based candidates, please note that we are unable to hire in Wyoming and Illinois at this time.

job-boards.greenhouse.io, read 2026-09-06

xAI sets eligibility per posting, not per platform. Of 30 live tutor postings, 29 say worldwide and one restricts to the United States and Canada. Read the posting you are applying to rather than the platform page. source

Its terms carry a service-wide export controls clause naming OFAC and the Specially Designated Nationals list. It names no country, but it is a published limit rather than app-store boilerplate. The terms are now in the name of SpaceXAI LLC, effective 1 September 2026. source

No list, but not no limits

xAI Specialist AI Tutors is run by SpaceXAI LLC, a Nevada company. US sanctions law bars a US company from doing business in a comprehensively embargoed place, whatever it publishes. As of 2026-09-06 those are Cuba, Iran, North Korea, the Crimea region of Ukraine and the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republic regions of Ukraine (OFAC).

That is the law xAI Specialist AI Tutors operates under, not something xAI Specialist AI Tutors has said about itself. This is the legal floor, not the whole picture. Russia and Belarus carry heavy sanctions without a comprehensive embargo, and a platform can decline a country for its own reasons without publishing anything. Anywhere else, xAI Specialist AI Tutors has published nothing, so we cannot tell you.

We found no list of countries xAI Specialist AI Tutors will or will not hire in. A listing that says Remote describes the work, not who may take it, so we do not read one as permission.

Geography & eligibility

US-heavy, some international

The honest read

Direct contractor roles at an AI lab. Generalist hiring paused in 2025; specialist tutors (STEM, medicine, finance) still recruited.
