About the role ChatGPT is changing quickly and so is the market around it. We are looking for a brand strategist who can set direction across a portfolio of important, rapidly changing questions about ChatGPT. We want to help people better understand what ChatGPT stands for, why people should choose it, and how it can become a more useful part of their lives. You will turn complex product, audience, and market signals into clear choices, differentiated positions, and compelling creative work. The remit spans positioning, audience understanding, product and brand storytelling, and creative strategy. Your role is to help connect those areas into a coherent view of how ChatGPT should show up over time. OpenAI has a high-agency culture, and this is an especially dynamic and proactive team. People who thrive here are extremely comfortable with change. You should get energy from the opportunity to identify the most important problems before they are fully defined, bring the right people together, and create momentum around a clear direction. You will have space to find opportunities, shape priorities, influence product and marketing decisions, and build new approaches where no playbook exists. Expect the work to be hands-on. You will work closely with creative, product, product marketing, research, design, and communications partners, setting direction while staying involved from the first idea through delivery. We are looking for someone already immersed in AI who sees this as a moment they want to help shape. In this role, you will: Set direction for how ChatGPT is positioned in the market and shape its broader story across products, audiences, and moments.

About the Team This team builds and operates the systems that enable OpenAI researchers to run reliable, scalable, and efficient research workflows. The team sits close to research and works across infrastructure, systems, and automation to make sure researchers have the tools and environments they need to move quickly. The work spans software engineering, infrastructure, systems administration, cluster operations, and reliability engineering. As OpenAI’s infrastructure evolves from bespoke bare-metal systems toward more standard, scalable platforms, the team needs engineers who can understand how systems work end-to-end and build the right abstractions without reinventing the wheel. About the Role As a Software Engineer on this team, you will build and operate the infrastructure that supports frontier research and critical research-facing systems. You will work on systems that sit close to the metal, but the role is not limited to classic operations or sysadmin work. We are looking for someone who can reason about networking, bootstrapping, Kubernetes, scalability, automation, and reliability - while also writing software to make these systems better over time. This role is a strong fit for an independent, high-ownership engineer who enjoys reliability-heavy infrastructure work but still wants to build. You do not need to come in as a kernel expert or highly algorithmic optimization engineer, but you should be deeply curious about infrastructure, comfortable debugging complex systems, and excited to support researchers doing novel work. We expect you to: Build and operate reliable infrastructure for research workloads and research-facing services. Support and improve systems across data infrastructure, processing, crawl and ingest, caching, search, observability, and clusterwide services. Improve cluster bootstrapping, provisioning, automation, and deployment workflows. Debug issues across networking, compute, storage, orchestration, and service reliability layers.
