About the Team Our Safety Systems team is at the forefront of OpenAI's mission to build and deploy safe AGI, driving our commitment to AI safety and fostering a culture of trust and transparency. The Model Policy team aligns model behavior with desired human values and norms. We co-design policy with models and for models by driving rapid policy taxonomy iteration based on data and defining evaluation criteria for foundational models’ ability to reason about safety. Key focus areas include: catastrophic risk, mental health, teen safety and multimodal safety. About the Role Providing access to frontier AI systems raises complex questions around dual-use science and catastrophic risk. How should models respond to requests involving chemical synthesis, biological experimentation, or pathogen research? Where is the boundary between legitimate scientific inquiry and information that could enable misuse? How do we design policies that meaningfully reduce risk without unnecessarily restricting beneficial research? This is a senior role in which you’ll help shape policy creation and development at OpenAI for addressing biological and chemical risks. You will develop structured policy frameworks and taxonomies to guide safe model behavior. This role sits at the intersection of biosecurity expertise, AI safety research, and policy design. You will help ensure that frontier AI systems can support beneficial life sciences research, such as drug discovery, public health, and biosafety, while reducing the risk that these capabilities could be misused. Our relevant publications: Preparedness framework Preparing for future AI capabilities in biology Safety evaluations hub OpenAI GPT5 System Card Evaluating Fairness in ChatGPT Improving Model Safety Behavior with Rule-Based Rewards OpenAI Model Spec Your Responsibilities: Design and maintain model policies governing chemical and biological risk, defining how models should safely handle dual-use scenarios.

ROLE SUMMARY As an AI-enabled strategic scientific leader, you will partner with Oncology Research Leadership to integrate AI-driven strategies that will drive data-informed decision-making across our Oncology Research pipeline. As the AI Portfolio Lead, you will bridge cutting-edge AI/advanced analytics with deep Oncology R&D expertise to guide our portfolio strategy. Working as an individual contributor reporting into the Head, Portfolio Strategy and Program Management, you will analyze and continuously assess Oncology Research projects using AI-driven insights (predictive models, scenario simulations, competitive intelligence) and propose actionable strategies to Oncology Research Leadership. This role is science-focused and spans across discovery and preclinical stage programs, ensuring that our project teams pursue the most promising scientific approaches and mechanisms of action. Your work will directly inform pipeline prioritization and resource allocation decisions, enhancing the quality and objectivity of governance deliberations with robust data. ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES Portfolio Analysis and Insights: Continuously analyze the oncology Research portfolio (ESD through Preclinical) using advanced AI/ML tools and analytics to evaluate each program’s scientific strength, probability of success, and strategic portfolio fit per disease area strategies. Strategy Recommendation: Develop and propose data-driven portfolio strategies (at both project and portfolio levels) to senior leaders and Research governance committee. Use scenario analysis and predictive modeling to highlight optimal project prioritization, pipeline balance, and resource allocation scenarios.

About the Team The Post-Training Frontiers team is responsible for training the frontier agents OpenAI ships to the world (GPT-Next). We train the flagship agentic models behind Codex, ChatGPT, and the API through large-scale reinforcement learning. The team’s work spans four areas. First, execution and science: working with teams across OpenAI to decide what can go into the final model and how, using scientific experiments and evals that are representative of the final pipeline so issues can be recognized early. Second, RL scaling: executing the final large-scale reinforcement learning run, making sure GPUs are used efficiently and training stays healthy. Third, research: improving horizontal capabilities like instruction following, factuality, memory, and multi-agent behavior, where the team’s broad visibility helps identify cross-cutting improvements across teams and domains. Fourth, engineering: maintaining the infrastructure stack and internal tools to ensure that both the final run and all integrations go as smoothly as possible and that the systems are easy to work with. About the Role This role focuses on keeping our frontier RL training runs fast, reliable, and unblocked. You will work across engineering and infrastructure problems as they emerge, from scaling and orchestration issues to inference bottlenecks, numerical problems, and hardware failures, as well as supporting large horizontal integrations in the big run, like multi-agent capabilities or memory. This is a role for a strong generalist who quickly learns anything needed for the task, has high attention to detail, debugs deeply, and is motivated by fixing the highest-impact problem in front of the team. In this role, you will: Keep large-scale async RL training runs moving by jumping into the most urgent engineering and infrastructure problems. Debug issues across training systems, inference, orchestration, scaling, and distributed infrastructure. Improve the reliability and efficiency of RL trai
