About the Team ChatGPT relies on a large and growing GPU fleet to serve inference workloads reliably and efficiently. We develop the systems and tools that make it possible to introduce new models, manage production deployments, respond to operational issues, and use infrastructure effectively at scale. Our work spans distributed systems, platform engineering, infrastructure automation, and developer experience. We partner closely with research, infrastructure, and product teams to make model deployment more reliable, more efficient, and easier to manage. About the Role We are looking for a software engineer with experience building or operating large-scale production systems. You will design and develop systems that support the model lifecycle in production, including deployment orchestration, configuration management, operational automation, reliability, and capacity management. You will help transform complex operational processes into scalable platform capabilities that enable teams across OpenAI to deploy and manage models with greater confidence and less manual effort. This role is a good fit for engineers who enjoy solving complex operational problems and building software that makes production infrastructure easier to run at scale. In This Role, You Will Build and evolve the platform used to deploy, configure, and manage models across ChatGPT. Develop systems for deployment orchestration, model rollouts, operational visibility, and production readiness. Create abstractions and tooling that simplify complex infrastructure and improve the developer experience. Automate operational workflows, including incident detection, diagnosis, mitigation, and recovery. Improve the reliability, scalability, and efficiency of model deployments and the infrastructure that supports them. Build systems that support capacity planning, resource allocation, and infrastructure utilization. Partner with research, infrastructure, and product engineering teams to identify common chal

About the Team OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. We believe that achieving our goal requires real world deployment and iteratively updating based on what we learn. The Protection Scientist Engineer, Integrity team supports this by identifying and investigating misuses of our products – especially new types of abuse. This enables our partner teams to develop data-backed product policies and build scaled safety mitigations. Precisely understanding abuse allows us to safely enable users to build useful things with our products. About the Role Protection Science Engineering is an interdisciplinary role mixing data science, machine learning, investigation, and policy/protocol development. As a Protection Scientist Engineer within Integrity and Investigations, you will be responsible for designing and building systems to proactively identify and enforce on abuse on OpenAI’s products. This includes ensuring we have robust abuse monitoring in place for new products, sustaining monitoring for existing products, and prototyping and incubating systems of defense against our highest risk harms. You will also respond to and investigate critical escalations, especially those that are not caught by our existing safety systems. This will require expert understanding of our products and data, and involves working cross-functionally with product, policy, and engineering teams. This role is based in our London office and includes participation in an on-call rotation that will involve resolving urgent escalations outside of normal work hours. Some investigations may involve sensitive content, including sexual, violent, or otherwise-disturbing material. In this role, you will: Scope and implement abuse monitoring requirements for new product launches. Improve processes to sustain monitoring operations for existing products, including developing approaches to automate monitoring subtasks. Prototype and mature into product
About the Team The Applications Engineering team works across research, engineering, product, and design to bring OpenAI’s technology to consumers and businesses. You’ll join the team responsible for running the core infrastructure that supports products like ChatGPT and the API. The systems we support include our kubernetes clusters, infrastructure deployment, our networking stack, cloud abstractions, and more. We seek to learn from deployment and distribute the benefits of AI, while ensuring that this powerful tool is used responsibly and safely. Safety is more important to us than unfettered growth. About the Role The cloud infrastructure team builds and maintains infrastructure abstractions allowing OpenAI to ship products quickly and scalably. In this role, you will: Design and build the development and production platforms that power our products, enabling reliability and security at scale Ensure our infrastructure can scale to the next order of magnitude Help create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture that makes all feel welcome while enabling radical candor and the challenging of group think Like all other teams, we are responsible for the reliability of the systems we build. This includes an on-call rotation to respond to critical incidents as needed. You might thrive in this role if you: Have 5+ years building core infrastructure Have experience operating orchestration systems such as Kubernetes at scale Have experience building abstractions over cloud platforms Take pride in building and operating scalable, reliable, secure systems Are comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change About OpenAI OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. We push the boundaries of the capabilities of AI systems and seek to safely deploy them to the world through our products. AI is an extremely powerful tool that must be created with safety and human needs at its core, and
