About the Team OpenAI's Industrial Compute organization is building the world's most advanced AI infrastructure ecosystem. Through a combination of strategic partnerships and self-built campuses, we are scaling the compute, storage, and networking platforms that power frontier AI training and inference. The Scaling Analytics team builds the data and software systems that help Industrial Compute understand, plan, and operate infrastructure at global scale. We work across capacity, hardware, storage, infrastructure software, and operational systems to connect fragmented sources of infrastructure data and make that information reliable and usable for engineering and planning. As OpenAI's infrastructure footprint grows, CPU and storage data increasingly spans internal platforms, vendor systems, APIs, databases, object storage, capacity management systems, and operational tooling. Building reliable connections across these environments is critical to understanding available capacity, utilization, fleet state, and infrastructure growth. About the Role We are seeking a Data Engineer to build the data systems and integrations that connect OpenAI's CPU, storage, and supporting infrastructure platforms. This role sits at the intersection of data engineering and backend software engineering. Rather than focusing primarily on traditional analytical pipelines, you will build the software and integrations required to collect, normalize, and make infrastructure data available across a heterogeneous set of systems. CPU and storage data may originate from internal infrastructure platforms, vendor APIs, databases, object storage, capacity systems, and operational services. You will determine how to reliably connect these systems and where those integrations should live—whether within an existing infrastructure service, an orchestration framework, a scheduled workload, or a purpose-built application. You will work closely with Infrastructure Engineering, Capacity Engineering, Storage,
