Musk’s xAI Hiring Credit Experts, Bankers to Teach Grok Finance

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI is looking to hire bankers and private credit lenders to make its Grok chatbot better at finance strategy, joining rival AI firms in pushing software for investing professionals.

xAI is actively recruiting Wall Street bankers, portfolio managers, traders and credit analysts for its data annotation teams that train Grok, according to a series of job postings on its website. These experts are expected to teach the AI system to think through financial modeling, including leveraged loan syndication, distressed investing and niche bonds such as mortgage-backed securities and collateralized loan obligations.
