Careers at Openai

About the Team The ChatGPT Velocity team owns the health of the end-to-end developer and deploy loop for ChatGPT-facing services. Our mission is to help ChatGPT engineers ship confidently with a fast, lightweight development cycle and a trusted path to production. ChatGPT development depends on a long chain: local environments, Bazel builds, CI, tests, merges, release candidates, deploys, synthetics, alerts, and production health. When any link is slow, flaky, or unclear, engineers lose hours, fixes reach users later, and on-call load rises. This team turns that cross-cutting drag into owned, measured, and durable improvements. About the Role We are hiring an experienced infrastructure engineer to make ChatGPT development dramatically faster and more reliable. You will work across local development, build systems, CI, deployment infrastructure, test ownership, and production safety signals to reduce the time and attention required to move a healthy change from development to production. This is not a narrow tooling role. The best person for this job will be comfortable diagnosing messy distributed systems, reading developer pain signals from Slack and metrics, building reliable automation, negotiating ownership across teams, and making tradeoffs between velocity and production safety. You should enjoy treating engineers as users and turning confusing workflow failures into clear, measured systems. In this role, you will: Reduce local development startup and iteration latency for ChatGPT engineers Improve Bazel and build performance for local machines, devboxes, and CI, including cache effectiveness, reproducibility, disk usage, remote cache behavior, and observability into invalidations. Improve CI reliability and merge throughput by reducing unrelated failures, tail latency, flaky or mis-owned tests, quarantine friction, and repeated manual reruns. Build agents that help PRs make forward progress: rebasing, conflict resolution, CI triage, safe reruns, owner routing, and clear identification of external blockers. Make deploy pipelines more self-healing, especially when transient alerts, known-bad clusters, recovered synthetics, stale RCs, or noisy gates should not require human babysitting. Improve deploy observability so engineers can quickly tell where a change is, what is blocking it, whether the signal is trustworthy, and who owns the next action. Establish lightweight metrics for before-and-after impact, such as commit-to-prod latency, deploy-window throughput, CI tail latency, local bootup time, failure rates, manual interventions, false-positive gates, and developer-reported pain. You might thrive in this role if you: Have strong experience with large-scale developer infrastructure, build systems, CI/CD, deployment systems, or production reliability. Can debug across local machines, devboxes, remote caches, monorepos, service dependencies, auth systems, and distributed deploy pipelines. Are comfortable with systems like Bazel, Buildkite, Kubernetes, Temporal, Python/TypeScript services, GitHub workflows, and large monorepo tooling, or can ramp quickly on equivalents. Think in product loops as much as systems loops: you care whether developers can understand and trust the workflow, not just whether a subsystem is technically healthy. Know how to replace repeated manual intervention with policy-backed automation while preserving production safety. Communicate well across teams and can turn ambiguous "this is slow/broken/flaky" reports into crisp owners, hypotheses, metrics, and shipped fixes. Prefer practical measurement over vibes, while still knowing that developer frustration is often the first signal of a real systems problem. Are energized by high-leverage work where a small improvement can save hundreds of engineering hours. Nice to have: Experience improving developer experience in a very large monorepo. Experience with remote execution, remote caching, hermetic builds, or cache reproducibility. Experience designing CI quarantine, test ownership, merge queue, or auto-revert systems. Experience with progressive delivery, canary/preview/stable deploy pipelines, synthetics, alert quality, and deploy-manager style workflows. Experience building agent-assisted developer workflows, such as automated PR babysitting, CI triage, or conflict resolution. Familiarity with security and access-control constraints around secrets, internal auth, VPN/exit-node networking, and local development.

About the team OpenAI’s Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) org sits at the intersection of product, engineering, research, and go-to-market. We take frontier platform capabilities into the real world with design partners, turning raw customer signal into shipped software, repeatable patterns, and durable products. The FDE Platform team is primarily a leverage function that scales the FDE org’s impact to OpenAI’s platform and products. We provide hands-on leverage by embedding with customer-tagged FDE pods to aid in architecting, product shaping, refactoring, and building. This team is perfect for highly collaborative software engineers who love innovating on cutting-edge products with other builders. About the role As the Engineering Manager for Platform FDE, you will lead a small team that acts as a multiplier for the broader FDE org. Your mandate is to increase the rate at which customer-grounded ideas become durable, generalizable platform bets, by providing hands-on product and engineering leverage to customer-tagged pods. You will partner with customer-tagged FDEs who are driving delivery and customer outcomes, and embed Platform FDE capacity where they can provide the highest leverage. In practice that means working in the trenches on architecture, product shaping, refactoring, hardening, and reusable abstractions, while preserving the pod’s ownership of customer understanding and day-to-day execution. You will also collaborate closely with our B2B Platform Team and other long-term owners to align early on what should generalize, what should remain customer-specific, and what “ready for handoff” looks like. This role requires a combination of engineering leadership and strong product-oriented judgment. You will manage a focused portfolio of platform incubation work with explicit hypotheses, success criteria, and measurable adoption outcomes, and you will be accountable for translating deployment signal into reusable capabilities that can be handed off cleanly to long-term owners. You will be expected to lead through influence across multiple stakeholders, uphold a high technical bar, and establish clear responsibility boundaries between your team, customer pods, and partner organizations. This role is based in San Francisco and is not a travel role. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week. We offer relocation assistance. Travel is optional-by-project and typically In this role you will Guide a focused portfolio of platform bets: Steer direction for a small number of high-signal problems, with clear hypotheses, success criteria, sequencing, and measurable adoption outcomes. Build and validate with customers: Ensure the team ships working software with design partners, instruments usage and outcomes, and iterates quickly based on real-world adoption and constraints. Co-develop with long-term owners: Partner early with B2B Platform (and other durable owners) to align on architecture, interfaces, security/governance requirements, and handoff criteria, staying engaged through validation and the path to scale. Maintain a high engineering bar: Set and enforce standards for design, code quality, testing, observability, and operational readiness appropriate for enterprise use. Grow and develop the team: Coach and develop engineers through direct feedback, clear expectations, and durable team mechanisms that reinforce execution and ownership. Operate with high judgment and influence: Make clear tradeoffs under ambiguity, communicate decisions crisply across stakeholders, and drive outcomes through partnership rather than formal authority. You might thrive in this role if you Bring 8+ years of engineering experience , including 2+ years managing high-performance engineers Are deeply customer-obsessed and can partner credibly with senior stakeholders while keeping a high bar for delivery and technical rigor. Naturally act as a shepherd: you elevate and refine others’ ideas, sharpen hypotheses, and make disciplined “scale vs pause” calls with clear reasoning. Excel at cross-functional execution , forming tight partnerships with engineering, product, research, and GTM teams to deliver outcomes without needing formal authority. Can build inclusive team mechanics – rotations, mentorship, and scoped ownership – that increase collaboration across teams rather than creating a gated platform group.

About the Team The Statsig team within OpenAI builds the experimentation, feature rollout, dynamic configuration, and analytics systems that help OpenAI ship products with speed, safety, and evidence. Our work sits on the critical path for how product, engineering, research, and go-to-market teams learn from real-world usage and make high-confidence decisions. Statsig began as an independent company focused on helping builders move faster through trustworthy experimentation and feature management. After Statsig joined OpenAI, the team began the next chapter: bringing that deep product expertise, customer intuition, and mature platform infrastructure into OpenAI as the experimentation and rollout platform for every product we ship. Today, we support teams across ChatGPT, Codex, model measurement, consumer experiences, business subscriptions, developer products, and the shared infrastructure that connects them. These teams rely on Statsig to safely introduce new capabilities, compare product and model behavior, measure impact, and roll changes forward or back with confidence. We are at a defining moment in the platform journey. OpenAI has the data, product surface area, and pace of innovation to learn faster than almost any organization in the world, but that potential only becomes real if teams can experiment responsibly, measure clearly, and roll out changes safely. We are evolving experimentation systems to help teams learn from product behavior and make better evidence-based decisions. Based out of OpenAI’s Bellevue office, we are a close-knit team that values in-person collaboration, urgency, craft, and impact. We build for other builders, and the best version of this team is one where every OpenAI product team can move faster because the experimentation and rollout layer is dependable, fast, and easy to use. About the Role We are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to lead the technical direction for ML-powered experimentation and insights capabilities. You will build production systems that learn from privacy-protected product and experimentation data to generate evidence-backed insights and support decision-making, and help teams decide which ideas are worth testing live. This is an end-to-end, 0-to-1 role. You will work across ML modeling, retrieval and LLM systems, statistical methods, simulation, data and training pipelines, backend services, and user- and agent-facing product experiences. The hard part is not merely producing a plausible answer. It is making each insight and prediction traceable, calibrated, useful, and safe enough to influence real product decisions. Live experiments remain the source of causal validation. You will design systems that make uncertainty explicit, backtest against historical outcomes, compare predictions with online results, learn from misses, and abstain when the evidence is weak. You will preserve clear review, permission, and approval boundaries as automation becomes more powerful. You will collaborate closely with teams building ChatGPT, Codex, model measurement workflows, consumer products, Growth, business subscription experiences, developer products, and shared infrastructure. You will turn their most important learning and decision problems into general platform capabilities that can support the full company. In This Role, You Will Set and execute the technical roadmap for Generative Insights and Predictive Experimentation, from early prototypes through production adoption. Build cross-experiment learning systems that retrieve and synthesize historical experiments, detect recurring effects and segment behavior, reanalyze prior results when data or methods improve, and generate hypotheses with clear evidence and provenance. Develop predictive models and simulation workflows, including simulation-based evaluation approaches, to estimate likely impact, affected segments, regression risk, and uncertainty before a full live experiment. Create high-quality datasets and feature or retrieval pipelines from exposures, events, metrics, experiment metadata, and replay data, with strong lineage, freshness, privacy, and data-quality controls. Establish rigorous evaluation through offline benchmarks, backtests, calibration, drift monitoring, prediction-to-outcome comparisons, and explicit failure or abstention behavior. Turn models into durable product, API, and agent workflows that move from an insight to experiment design, approval-gated action, and measured learning. Partner deeply with data science and product teams on experiment design, causal inference, sequential decision-making, variance reduction, and the boundary between prediction and causal evidence. Build reliable services and intuitive workflows so sophisticated ML capabilities are understandable and useful to teams making high-stakes product decisions. Provide technical leadership across engineering, product, data science, and research partners, and raise the bar for production ML quality across the platform. You Might Thrive In This Role If You Have led ambiguous 0-to-1 production ML products where success was measured by better real-world decisions, not only offline model metrics. Have strong hands-on experience across the ML lifecycle: dataset design, training or adaptation, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration. Bring depth in one or more of LLM and retrieval systems, ranking or recommendation, forecasting or anomaly detection, causal ML or experiment analysis, or simulation. You do not need to have done all of them. Have strong software engineering fundamentals and can build high-quality production systems in Python while working comfortably across data, backend, and platform boundaries. Have a strong grounding in machine learning, statistics, computer science, or a related field through formal study or equivalent practical experience. Understand experimentation and statistical reasoning, especially why predictive accuracy is not the same as causal validity. Treat calibration, uncertainty, provenance, privacy, and human review as product requirements, not cleanup work. Can translate ambiguous partner questions into a product and technical roadmap, and work well with product, data science, research, and infrastructure partners. Enjoy building for internal power users and agents, and can make sophisticated ML capabilities feel clear and actionable. Value in-person collaboration and want to help shape a growing Bellevue-based team. Location and Workplace This role is based in Bellevue, Washington.
