Jobs at OpenAI

Provide frontline IT support by troubleshooting hardware, software, and network issues, improve support processes, and participate in on-call rotation.

Build and operate durable control-plane services and partner-side runner software to run multi-hour optimization campaigns. Integrate compilers, runtimes, hardware profiles, and inference engines to generate, compile, execute, verify, and benchmark optimized kernels. Ensure reproducibility, provenance, security, and developer ergonomics while collaborating across research, inference, infrastructure, security, product, and partners to productionize research workflows.

As a Forward Deployed Software Engineer, partner with high-impact public sector customers by developing full-stack applications and providing technical guidance throughout the project lifecycle.

As a Data Scientist, you will define metrics, design A/B tests, and create dashboards to improve data-driven product development at OpenAI.

The Backend Software Engineer will design and build infrastructure for evaluating and enhancing OpenAI's support automation, collaborating with teams to develop pipelines and APIs.

As a Backend Software Engineer, you will design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs for automated knowledge systems, collaborating with cross-functional teams.

The Software Engineer will build and scale Ads Manager, develop APIs and tools for campaign management, and ensure systems uphold safety and privacy standards.

Build and operate a platform to qualify and optimize inference workloads across heterogeneous accelerators. Develop control-plane services, secure partner-side execution software, integration with compilers/runtimes, automated evaluation and optimization pipelines, artifact management, and tooling for reproducible performance and correctness. Diagnose cross-stack issues and collaborate with research, runtime, infrastructure, security, and partner teams.

Lead Tokens-as-a-Service programs to convert power, space, and hardware into production GPU token throughput. Own end-to-end execution across construction, energization, rack and network deployment, cluster readiness, and workload onboarding. Coordinate cross-functional teams and external partners, identify and resolve bottlenecks, build operating cadences, dashboards, and repeatable deployment models for industrial-scale compute expansion.

Develop, coordinate, and maintain multidisciplinary BIM models (Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Architectural, Structural) for large-scale industrial and mission-critical facilities. Produce federated models for clash detection, constructability reviews, equipment planning, and quantity takeoffs. Maintain BIM standards and collaborate with engineering teams, consultants, and contractors using Navisworks, Autodesk Construction Cloud, BIM 360, Revizto, and related tools to ensure coordinated, constructible designs.

Lead and execute OpenAI's go-to-market strategy with major cloud partners. Own executive relationships, build joint business plans, enable co-sell motions and marketplace transactions, drive partner-sourced pipeline and customer adoption, coordinate cross-functional execution, and define scalable partnership playbooks and operating cadences.

Design and operate CI infrastructure to improve developer productivity and reliability in build systems, enhancing tool efficacy and performance across teams.

Build end-to-end product and platform features for Codex Security, turning research and model capabilities into scalable, observable systems. Own 0-to-1 projects across product surfaces, backend services, developer workflows, cloud infrastructure, and internal tooling. Collaborate with product, research, infrastructure, and customer teams to iterate from real-world feedback and shape the technical direction of Codex Cyber.

Lead OpenAI's commodity hedging strategy for electricity, natural gas, and related exposures across the data center portfolio. Quantify portfolio risk by market, site, tenor, tariff, and supply structure; recommend and execute hedges (forwards, swaps, options, fixed-price supply); partner with utilities, traders, banks, and cross-functional teams; monitor markets and regulatory changes; and build governance, reporting, and playbooks for commodity risk management.

Lead strategy for international infrastructure expansion: assess markets, map stakeholders, coordinate cross-functional diligence (energy, policy, commercial, legal, engineering), produce executive recommendations, and build repeatable playbooks to activate priority geographies.

The role involves designing and implementing SDKs for the OpenAI API across multiple languages, maintaining SDK performance, and collaborating with teams to enhance developer experience.

Lead infrastructure sustainability and emerging energy technology strategy for data center growth. Evaluate and pilot low-carbon, resilient energy solutions, translate technical options into cost/reliability/carbon implications, and coordinate cross-functional execution and reporting.

Develop and optimize large-scale compute systems for AI workloads, improving infrastructure reliability and performance across various layers of the stack.

Lead a team to build AI-powered automation systems, focusing on design, implementation, and customer feedback to enhance internal operations.

Lead end-to-end design for data-intensive observability and experimentation products used by engineers and researchers. Define interaction models and workflows for querying, visualization, alerting, investigation, and experimentation. Partner with engineering, data science, and product to translate complex technical systems into coherent, actionable experiences and shared design systems. Use prototyping, research, and high-quality information design to create consistent, AI-native enterprise tools.
