About the Team Life sciences is one of the clearest areas where advances in intelligence can meaningfully benefit the world at large. The OpenAI Life Sciences team works at the intersection of advancing frontier life sciences model capabilities and building products to help scientists accelerate their research and leverage the full potential of AI for scientific work. Rosalind Workbench brings together the scientific tools, data sources, interactive biology file viewers and core life sciences workflows into a central environment to help scientists investigate questions, design experiments, analyze results, and advance discovery. Rosalind Workbench can be used with any OpenAI model, including GPT-Rosalind--our dedicated life sciences model, which combines frontier reasoning with specialized tool orchestration across medicinal chemistry, genomics, wet-lab assistance, and other scientific applications. Our long term vision is for teams of agents to work together across these domains, giving researchers access to broader expertise and the ability to pursue more ambitious scientific questions. About the Role We’re looking for a Product Manager to shape Rosalind Workbench for life sciences. You will own product strategy and execution, working directly with researchers in academic labs, biotech, and pharma to understand where AI can meaningfully improve their work. You’ll partner with engineering, research, design, and customer-facing teams to turn emerging capabilities into intuitive products that scientists return to. This role calls for strong product judgment, depth in life sciences, and the ability to move from an ambiguous research problem to a focused, shippable experience. In this role, you will have the opportunity to define the future of AI guided scientific discovery and build the capabilities and tools that help advance the scientific frontier for researchers and help increase the accessibility of model intelligence for scientific use.

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. Owning the “boring” backend details that keep a lean team moving: schemas/migrations, cost controls, retries, and runbooks. Understanding compute tradeoffs across hardware options, and specifying appropriate cloud resources.

We are hiring a Security Software Engineer to design and implement the hardware-backed security foundations used across OpenAI’s device ecosystem. A central focus of this role is hardening the boundary between our policy systems and the HSMs that protect sensitive cryptographic keys. This boundary determines which operations may be performed, what may be signed, which policies must be satisfied, and how changes to trusted software and policy are authorized. You will develop security-critical software and firmware within, or immediately adjacent to, an HSM trust boundary. Depending on your background, this may include HSM trusted applications, firmware services, cryptographic mechanisms, device drivers, PKCS#11 components, secure-provisioning protocols, or signing-policy enforcement systems. This is a hands-on software-engineering role. You will be expected to design systems, write and review production code, debug across hardware and software boundaries, and carry projects from initial requirements through deployment. It is not an HSM administration, PKI operations, compliance, or architecture-only position. In This Role, You Will Design and implement security-critical software and firmware for HSMs, secure elements, trusted execution environments, and hardware roots of trust. Build and harden the policy-to-HSM boundary responsible for authorizing certificate issuance and cryptographic signing operations. Develop HSM trusted applications, firmware components, host interfaces, device drivers, SDKs, or cryptographic service integrations. Implement or extend cryptographic interfaces such as PKCS#11, OpenSSL providers or engines, platform key-storage APIs, or comparable hardware-security interfaces. Build firmware and software that cryptographically enforces key generation, provisioning, usage, rotation, recovery, and destruction policies.
