About the Team OpenAI's data and storage infrastructure spans data platforms, online databases, and file/object storage. These systems underpin data ingestion and processing, durable persistence, indexing and retrieval, and product file experiences. As frontier models and agents evolve how they use memory, history and snapshots, the underlying architecture increasingly shapes the capabilities products can deliver—and their latency, reliability, cost and efficiency. About the Role We are looking for a technically deep TPM to independently define and lead multiple programs across data platforms, online databases and storage infrastructure. You will connect model, product and data-consumer requirements to architecture, and work with the relevant engineering teams to take new capabilities through production adoption and repeatable expansion. The design scope is exabyte-scale storage and infrastructure spanning multiple millions of CPU cores. The challenge is not simply forecasting more resources: it is making complete, workload-ready capacity repeatable, with a clear path from product requirements through architecture, deployment and validation. A data pipeline, database query, file operation or execution snapshot can affect whether a product or agent succeeds; you will connect those outcomes to the systems underneath. This role is based in San Francisco, CA. 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: Translate model, product and data-platform needs into precise access patterns, consistency, durability, freshness, availability and scalability requirements. Connect memory, history, retrieval and resumable work to capability and end-to-end latency. Partner with engineering to transform data and storage architecture into repeatable scale units: standardized provisioning, placement, routing, data movement and readiness checks that bring storage, compute and networking online together.

About the Team OpenAI’s Cyber team works to make frontier AI a decisive advantage for defenders. The Cyber Blue Team is an operator-led group focused on turning real defensive problems into better models, useful products, safe Codex workflows, and integrations with the security tools defenders already use. Our ambition is simple: Raise attacker cost. Lower defender toil. Prove it by defending OpenAI; scale it through the ecosystem. We are not setting out to build another SIEM or autonomous SOC. We want to build the AI reasoning and workflow layer that helps security teams investigate threats, create and validate detections, improve their controls, and respond with greater speed and confidence. About the Role We are looking for a Product Manager to help build a new generation of AI-powered cyber defense products. You will work closely with security practitioners, researchers, engineers, designers, internal security teams, customers, and technology partners to turn emerging model capabilities into products that solve meaningful defensive problems. This is an early-stage product role. The work will span product discovery, prototyping, evaluation, development, launch, and iteration. You will help the team identify where AI can create the most value for defenders and translate those opportunities into clear, usable, and trustworthy product experiences. Initial areas of focus may include: Detection engineering and detection-content development Threat hunting and investigation Security validation and control testing AI-agent and MCP runtime defense Integrations with security platforms and enterprise workflows Safe, governed assistance for incident response The specific roadmap will continue to evolve based on model progress, practitioner needs, internal learnings, and customer feedback. In This Role, You Will Work with security practitioners to understand high-value defensive workflows, recurring pain points, and opportunities for AI to materially improve outcomes. Help sh
About the Team The Core Models team helps shape how OpenAI’s frontier models are built, measured, and launched. We work across Research, Engineering, Model Design, Data Science, and Product to turn advances in model capabilities into reliable, useful experiences for people. Our scope includes model planning and launches as well as building data flywheels, evaluations and measurement systems to ensure our models have strong capabilities and behavior. About the Role As a Product Manager for the Core Models team, you'll be at the forefront of defining and guiding the future of how our AI models work in real-world applications. You will connect user needs to model and systems decisions: how prompts are understood; how information is aggregated and made useful for training and evaluation data; and how capabilities move from research prototypes into the mainline model and launch stack. You will operate comfortably across research, infrastructure, and consumer product surfaces, creating clarity where ownership and technical boundaries are still emerging. This role is based in San Francisco, CA. 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: Translate user and product goals into clear model requirements, system architecture choices, and research priorities across query understanding, indexing, retrieval, ranking, tool boundaries, data, training, inference, and evaluation. Build closed learning loops that turn product usage, explicit feedback, and other user signals into datasets, evaluations, experiments, training priorities, and launch decisions. Define success across offline evaluations and online product metrics, balancing model quality, usefulness, latency, safety, reliability, and cost. Partner closely with post-training research, applied product engineering, Model Design, and Data Science to integrate capabilities into the mainline model stack. Create reusable platforms and operatin
