About the Team OpenAI’s Applied AI Engineering team helps organizations turn frontier AI capabilities into safe, reliable, and high-impact production systems. We work with customer executives, product and engineering teams, security leaders, and transformation teams to identify valuable opportunities, accelerate technical implementation, and scale what works. Enterprise deployments are defined by complexity rather than any one industry: existing architectures, diverse data environments, security and governance requirements, multiple stakeholder groups, and organization-wide change. We turn lessons from these deployments into better products and reusable patterns for customers everywhere. About the Role As an Applied AI Engineer you will partner directly with leading organizations to design, build, and deploy AI systems that deliver measurable business outcomes. You will combine deep technical judgment, hands-on engineering, and customer leadership to take ambitious ideas from use-case selection and architecture through prototyping, evaluation, production launch, and scale. You will write and debug code, build evaluation systems, resolve complex integrations, and guide decisions involving model behavior, reliability, latency, cost, safety, security, governance, and operational readiness. Success is measured by production systems, sustained adoption, and meaningful customer impact—not simply activity or successful demonstrations. This is a rare opportunity to work on consequential real-world deployments at the frontier of AI while directly influencing how OpenAI’s products evolve. This role is based in London. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees In this role, you will: Partner directly with enterprise customers to identify high-value opportunities and translate them into technical architectures, implementation plans, evaluation strategies, and measurable success criteria.

Here's a summary of the role Data is only powerful when everyone agrees what it means. This is your chance to build a world class product behavioural data system and process from the ground up. We're rebuilding the internal product our teams use to measure product success and end-user value across all our 24+ products in four business units. You'll design the single source of truth: the metric definitions, the telemetry standards, the data contract engineering instruments against, the change governance processes and tooling, and the models that turn behaviour into portfolio insight. You'll educate and support the teams using this internal behavioural data product to set expectations and and plot a rational roadmap for the maturing of this product, helping our user to use the data honestly and wisely. Usage tells you what happened, not why, or whether it mattered. We want someone who sets quantitative behaviour against qualitative evidence and treats the disagreement as the interesting part. AWS/Snowflake is our spine; capture and BI are open decisions you'll help make. Your models feed the business reviews our executive team, CTO and investors use to run the portfolio, and engineering is committed to instrument against your contract. Here's what your first twelve months should look like First 90 days. Learn the estate, meet the engineers who instrument it, and agree the measurement model for one product end to end — with a defensible adoption number and the qualitative read on what it means. Three to six months. Data contract published, instrumentation spec landed with engineering, first business unit building against it. Definitions, naming and versioned change control governed. Six to twelve months. Rolling out across the remaining business units through the BU-aligned analysts, portfolio reporting running on your numbers. Here's a breakdown of what you'll do (not all
