About this role: We are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to build the models and decision systems that optimize paid marketing investment for ChatGPT and other OpenAI products. You will develop budget allocation and control algorithms that determine where to invest, how quickly to spend, and how to adjust as performance changes. The challenge is to make reliable decisions from noisy, delayed, and incomplete signals. You will combine machine learning, optimization, and experimentation to improve incremental growth and long-term user value within budget and efficiency constraints. You will own this work from problem formulation and prototyping through deployment, evaluation, and ongoing operation. This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of three days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to eligible employees. In this role, you will: Build budget allocation algorithms. Decide how to distribute investment across channels, campaigns, and markets using estimates of marginal returns, while accounting for diminishing returns, uncertainty, and business constraints. Develop spend pacing and adaptive control systems. Adjust budgets and spending rates as performance changes, balancing responsiveness with stability when feedback is delayed or noisy. Build in spend limits, monitoring, and safe fallback

About the Team OpenAI’s API Multicloud team is responsible for extending OpenAI’s API platform into strategic cloud environments, starting with AWS . The team’s mission is to distribute OpenAI’s API broadly and safely by enabling key API technologies in AWS-native environments, in close partnership with Amazon and internal teams across Codex, Research, Safety Systems, and Applied. The team is focused on bringing core developer and enterprise capabilities into cloud-native environments, including AWS-hosted Codex, model customization / post-training as a service, and new stateful runtime environments for agentic workloads. This work sits at the intersection of production ML systems, developer platforms, model behavior, and large-scale infrastructure. About the Role We’re hiring Machine Learning Engineers to build and improve the AI systems that help strategic partners adapt OpenAI models to important use cases in cloud-native environments. This role spans post-training workflows, evaluation, data pipelines, model behavior, and API/infrastructure integration. You’ll work at the boundary between partner needs and core ML systems: helping teams understand what is and isn’t working, diagnosing issues in training and evaluation workflows, and turning those learnings into improvements to the underlying platform. You should enjoy working with external technical partners, extracting the real goal from messy requests, and pushing back or reframing when the requested experiment is not the highest-leverage path. You’ll collaborate closely with Research, Applied, Safety Systems, infrastructure teams, and external technical partners to solve ambiguous model-performance problems. When you succeed, strategic partners and internal teams will be able to improve model behavior with confidence, driving measurable product improvements while the systems behind that work become more reliable, scalable, and effective over time.
