About the Team Safety Systems manages the complete lifecycle of safety efforts for OpenAI’s frontier models, ensuring our models are deployed responsibly and have a positive impact on society. Our work spans diverse research and engineering initiatives—from system-level safeguards and model training to evaluation and red-teaming—all aimed at mitigating misuse, misalignment, and maintaining our high bar for safety. We lead OpenAI's commitment to developing and deploying safe Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), fostering a culture of trust, responsibility, and transparency. Our goal is to continuously learn from deployments, distribute AI’s benefits widely, and ensure that powerful tools remain aligned with human values and safety considerations. About the Role We are hiring a Product Manager to focus on risk related to multimodal models. In this role, you will drive initiatives which ensure that OpenAI’s audio, image, and video deployments are safe, impactful, and aligned with user needs and technical innovation. You will clarify strategic priorities, develop safety-focused product roadmaps, and collaborate closely with AI researchers, software engineers, policy experts, and cross-functional partners. This role suits a proactive, technically skilled product manager adept at adversarial thinking and excited to tackle challenging, ambiguous problems through structured analysis and collaborative decision-making. This position is based in San Francisco, CA, with relocation assistance available. In this role, you will: Partner closely with AI research, engineering, data science, policy teams, and other stakeholders to embed safety throughout the development and deployment of multimodal AI models - such as GPT-Live and ChatGPT Images - as well as multimodal capabilities in frontier AI models. Develop comprehensive frameworks for understanding and mitigating deployment safety risks, drawing on data analysis, expert consultation, and adversarial assessments. Define strate

Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to to ship AI products. THE ROLE We're looking for a Web Designer / Design Engineer to own baseten.co day to day, from concept through production. You'll design and build landing pages, bring product launches to life, run experiments, improve conversion, and keep raising the quality bar on the site. This is a high-ownership role on the brand design team, sitting between brand design and frontend engineering. We want the website to be one of the best expressions of the Baseten brand and one of the best developer-focused sites on the internet, which means treating it as a product that's constantly evolving rather than something we redesign every few years. You'll have a lot of autonomy to ship, while partnering closely with brand, product marketing, engineering, and leadership on bigger launches. RESPONSIBILITIES Own the design and frontend implementation of the Baseten marketing site. Ship landing pages, product pages, launches, and campaigns from concept through production. Improve the site continuously, finding and acting on opportunities to make it better rather than waiting for a redesign cycle. Partner with growth and product marketing to test messaging, layouts, and conversion improvements without sacrificing craft. Build polished interactions, motion, and details that make the site feel distinctly Baseten. Build and evolve the components, patterns, and design systems that let the team move quickly without lowering the bar. Turn complex

You'll join a small design team with a lot of ownership and a high bar for craft, working across the entire Baseten product to solve hard problems for technical users. This role covers the full arc of the work: early exploration through production. You'll establish patterns that show up across the product, evolve our design system, and raise the quality bar as we scale. RESPONSIBILITIES Lead product design end to end, including research, product definition, prototypes, design reviews, specs, and final implementation. Work directly with engineering and product to frame problems, explore solutions, and ship quickly. Collaborate with customers to understand their workflows, validate ideas, and test prototypes. Push the visual and interaction quality of the Baseten product across surfaces. Create interactions and details that make complex technical workflows feel clear, fast, and polished. Evolve our design system and establish patterns that scale across a growing product. Look across the product for opportunities to improve consistency, usability, and overall quality. Get into the code with engineers to polish UI and make sure the shipped experience matches the design. Help shape how the design team works and raise the bar for product quality across the company.

Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to to ship AI products. THE ROLE Forward Deployed Engineers work directly with the largest and fastest-growing AI companies in the world, owning their technical outcomes on Baseten and taking on the hardest problems in serving and improving models at scale. The work spans the model lifecycle: inference, post-training, and the systems that tighten the loop between them. Act as each account's de facto CTO on Baseten, with final accountability for how their workloads are designed, run, and scaled. Take customer objectives from vague to shipped: frame the problem, define the spec and success criteria, build the PoC, and carry it through to production quickly, using the right tools for the problem. Design the evals and benchmarks that isolate where quality or performance falls short, then close the gap yourself, whether that means optimizing inference, improving the model through post-training, or reworking the eval itself. Be the first responder to mission-critical failures including triage, owning the fix directly or route to the owning team and stay accountable until it ships. Build internal systems so that each engagement is faster than the last. This includes tooling and automation for eval and deployment infrastructure, and the recipes and reference implementations that make the product more self-serve. Shape the product itself, channeling what your accounts need into the roadmap and shipping fixes and features into Baseten's codebase yourse
