0 open · 0 since 2026-08-25No department on this board matches the cluster.The board’s own department labels name none of the cluster terms; a zero here is a label fact, not a hiring one.
Hiring
Open roles per day, per lab. A job board is a set, so the count on any day is today’s listing with every later change undone — a role added after that day removed, a role closed after it restored. Nothing is estimated; the log either holds the change or it does not.
Open roles over time
3,418 job change rows from 2026-08-26 to 2026-09-22, applied backwards from each board’s current listing.
Physical-infrastructure buildout
Open roles in the data-center, facilities, energy, construction, compute and hardware departments per lab per day — the supply-side signal beside the status pages’ demand strain.

Entity-blended board
262 roles at audit time; 255 at the 2026-08-25T23:08Z join re-fetch. Every row carries company_name "SpaceXAI" — the board is an entity-blended SpaceX/xAI artifact of the 2025 merger, and presenting it as pure xAI hiring would mislead. Caveat must ship visibly wherever this data surfaces. What the /departments join adds is bounded evidence, not a fix: the 26 departments are xAI-shaped (Data Center 121, Human Data 36, Engineering 23) with no aerospace or launch function, and 2 of 255 titles name a SpaceX-side program (Starlink, battery storage). Department requires the join — the jobs endpoint carries no department field.
A department belongs to the cluster when its name, as the board prints it, contains one of the cluster’s terms (Data Center, Infrastructure, Facilities, Energy, Construction, Compute, Hardware) and not “Software”. Terms live in the source registry, and the judge reads the same list: a five-role move across these departments at one lab is a capacity signal, not a hiring one.
Department mix, now against earlier
Each board’s open roles by department today and 30 days ago — or on the first day on record when the series is younger than that.
