About the Team OpenAI is at the center of some of the highest-impact multimodal work in AI. ChatGPT serves a massive global audience, and enables diverse interactions via text, speech, and visuals. As interactive surfaces grow, models also need to adapt to emerging harm, understand user intent and situational context, and respond appropriately. The Chat and Multimodal Safety team is responsible for ensuring that OpenAI’s increasingly multimodal models and products behave safely across these experiences. We develop the research, training methods, and evaluations needed to make these experiences safe. Our work sits at the frontier of responsibly deploying powerful AI, in close partnership with Personal AGI, io, model training, and product teams. About the Role As a Researcher on the Chat and Multimodal Safety team, you will help shape how frontier models perceive and reason the world, and translate that understanding into safe behavior. We’re looking for people who combine deep technical expertise with strong safety judgment. Strong candidates often bridge perception and language: they may have built vision-language models, worked on modality fusion or image encoders, developed multimodal post-training or evaluations, or advanced safety for image, video, or audio systems. 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: Define and advance multimodal safety research for text, vision, and audio, connecting perception and semantic understanding to safe model behavior. Build training and evaluation methods for VLMs, including post-training, safety evals, and interventions that help models respond safely and appropriately in varied contexts. Collaborate closely with Personal AGI, Consumer Devices, and product/model teams to translate research into safer ambient, embedded, and personalized multimodal experiences. You might thrive in this role if you:

What you’ll do Own day-to-day operations for the scanner program and scanner builds in the spa: purchasing/procurement, vendor management, receiving, inventory, and logistics. Stand up lightweight production operations as we move from prototypes to repeatable builds: build planning, kitting, work instructions, and readiness checklists. Partner with Quality to ensure the operational system supports compliance: traceability, document control, training records, NCR/CAPA workflows, and audit readiness. Drive cross-functional execution for the physical spa build-out and scanner integration: schedules, dependencies, risk register, and weekly coordination with vendors and internal teams. Own the “integration glue” across facilities + device ops: commissioning plans, acceptance criteria, and operational handoff (runbooks, maintenance, spares, escalation paths). Build and track operational metrics: cost, budget, lead times, vendor performance, build throughput, and reliability of critical subsystems. Audit of import/export documentation, management of contract renewals, regulatory compliance. What we’re looking for Proven operations leadership in hardware/medical/robotics (or similarly complex electromechanical products), including procurement and vendor management. Strong program management instincts: can run schedules, unblock cross-functional dependencies, and keep priorities clear under ambiguity. Comfort operating in quality/regulatory environments and building processes that are rigorous without slowing a small team. High ownership and bias to action: can jump between spreadsheets, docks, and the lab/site to keep the program moving. Useful experience Experience running prototype-to-production transitions (NPI, EVT/DVT/PVT-style builds, CM/EMS collaboration). Facilities / construction operations experience (GC coordination, MEP commissioning, site readiness). Familiarity with inventory systems and procurement tooling (even “simple but disciplined”).
What you’ll do Design and implement secure cloud pipelines that ingest very large scan datasets (multi-terabyte), reliably and resumably. Build orchestration for GPU-accelerated reconstruction and analysis with strong retry semantics, idempotency, and cost controls. Define end-to-end data lifecycle for medical imaging: raw vs intermediate vs derived artifacts, retention policies, and reproducibility. Implement security + compliance primitives appropriate for HIPAA/PHI: encryption in transit/at rest, key management, least privilege, audit logs, and access reviews. Build operational tooling: monitoring, alerting, runbooks, and incident-driven improvements for a growing device fleet. What we’re looking for Strong experience with cloud batch/queueing/orchestration, storage systems, and data pipeline reliability. Experience shipping production systems that handle large data volumes and failure-prone networks. Practical security mindset (least privilege, secrets, audit logging) and comfort operating in compliance-constrained environments. Useful experience Building reliable data pipelines at scale (queues/orchestration, resumable uploads, GPU batch execution) with strong observability. Security + privacy by default: encryption, least-privilege access, auditing, and practical HIPAA/PHI guardrails.

ABOUT BASETEN Baseten powers mission-critical inference for the world's most dynamic AI companies, like Cursor, Notion, OpenEvidence, Abridge, Clay, Gamma, and Writer. By uniting applied AI research, flexible infrastructure, and seamless developer tooling, we enable companies operating at the frontier of AI to bring cutting-edge models into production. We're growing quickly and recently raised our $1.5B Series F , led by Altimeter Capital, Conviction Partners, and Spark Capital. Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to ship AI products. THE ROLE Baseten's Compute org is in hyper growth. As it scales, the systems and workflows that keep supply and demand balanced across our GPU fleet need to get more sophisticated, and this role exists to make sure they do. Compute sits at the center of how Baseten allocates, forecasts, and manages the capacity that powers every customer inference request.

You'll design, build, and ship AI-powered workflows that give the Compute and C3 teams real leverage, automating the manual, repetitive, and error-prone parts of the capacity lifecycle so the team can focus on judgment calls that actually need a human. We want someone who can walk in, audit what exists today, identify what's missing or broken, and start shipping fast. You know when to reach for an existing internal tool and when to build something custom in Claude Code. You think two to three steps ahead about how the thing you build today fits into the broader capacity systems architecture tomorrow. And you bring a point of view on our stack, on what we should be building, and on where AI can do something existing tooling simply can't.
