About the Team: The OpenAI API team builds the foundation that enables every developer to harness OpenAI’s models safely, reliably, and at scale. We design and operate the systems that power model serving, API access, billing, developer tooling, and enterprise integrations—forming the connective tissue between OpenAI’s research breakthroughs and real-world products. Our mission is to make it effortless for anyone to build with OpenAI technology. We’re responsible for the infrastructure and product layers that allow millions of developers to integrate GPT models, fine-tune behavior, manage data, and deliver transformative experiences to their users. We collaborate across product, research, and engineering teams to ensure that innovation in model capabilities translates directly into value for customers. The API team spans multiple disciplines, including product management, infrastructure engineering, developer experience, and data systems. We care deeply about reliability, scalability, and simplicity—creating tools that let developers focus on their ideas while we handle the complexity of running world-class AI systems. About the Role: We are seeking an experienced Product Manager to define and scale the construction of our data processing, data privacy, billing, and access controls products. You will set strategy and execute on projects like expanding our regional data processing footprint, enabling new inference caching controls in the API or building APIs that make it easier for organizations to manage their spend limits.

About the Team The Foundations Research team works on high-risk, high-reward ideas that could shape the next decade of AI. Our goal is to advance the science and data that enable our training and scaling efforts, with a particular focus on future frontier models. Pushing the boundaries of data, scaling laws, optimization techniques, model architectures, and efficiency improvements to propel our science. The Search team sits within Foundations, building agentic search by co-designing model–system interfaces with the core search stack (serving, indexing, retrieval) to translate model intent into reliable, real-world actions. Operating at the frontier of AI and information retrieval, the team develops large-scale systems that transform and index vast corpora, enabling models to reason over global knowledge and act dependably. In close partnership with researchers, we rapidly bring modeling breakthroughs into production and redefine how intelligent systems discover, retrieve, and synthesize information at planetary scale. About the Role We’re looking for a Software Engineer focused on building and scaling retrieval systems. You’ll work with a team of researchers and engineers to develop infrastructure that enables models to retrieve and act on the right information at the right time. This includes designing and operating indexing systems, retrieval pipelines, and serving layers. This work supports retrieval across OpenAI products and research, with direct impact on system performance, reliability, and scale. Responsibilities Build and scale retrieval infrastructure across indexing, serving, and query execution. Develop low-latency, high-throughput systems for real-time model interaction. Partner with research to productionize embedding and retrieval techniques. Support dense, sparse, and hybrid retrieval pipelines. Own system performance, reliability, and observability at scale.

About the Team The Integrity team builds the systems OpenAI uses to understand, prevent, and respond to misuse across our products. We partner with Product, Policy, Safety Systems, User Operations, Security, Legal, Privacy, OpenAI for Government, and research teams to turn policy and threat models into product controls, review workflows, measurement systems, and enforcement paths. About the Role We are hiring a Product Manager to own Integrity's product strategy for sensitive deployments: contexts where model capability, customer or deployment setting, privacy constraints, and misuse potential make the operating bar unusually high. This includes government and other high stakes deployments, regulated or high-trust enterprise contexts, zero data retention and privacy-constrained environments, and agentic workflows where harm can unfold across many steps rather than a single prompt. The Sensitive Deployments PM will focus on high-consequence use cases relevant to government deployments and broader deployment-readiness questions for high-risk domains (e.g., healthcare), while building reusable Integrity capabilities for agentic detection and enforcements in these environments. This position is based in San Francisco, CA, with relocation assistance available. In this role, you will: Own the roadmap for sensitive deployment Integrity controls and readiness criteria. Define how we measure residual risk, decision quality, review quality, and mitigation effectiveness. Build agentic investigation and context-assembly workflows for complex, multi-step misuse patterns. Partner with Policy, Legal, Privacy, Safety Systems, User Ops, Government, and product teams to build shared capabilities. Create launch and deployment playbooks for sensitive customer, capability, and product contexts. You might thrive in this role if you: Have shipped complex product systems in AI, integrity, trust and safety, security, privacy, risk, government, regulated enterprise, or AI safety. Can turn am
