About the Team Security is at the foundation of OpenAI's mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. The Identity Infrastructure Engineering team sits at the core of this effort, designing and building the identity and access management solutions that protect model weights, customer data, and critical systems across multiple cloud environments. The team partners across OpenAI, including Applied Engineering, Research, IT, Security, Infrastructure, and Engineering, to provide secure and scalable platforms for identity, access management, permissioning, orchestration, and safe AI research. About the Role We’re looking for an engineering leader to lead Identity Infrastructure Engineering, the team building the systems that govern and scale access across OpenAI’s research, engineering, and internal platforms. This role sits at the center of cloud infrastructure, identity, software engineering, and security-critical operations. You’ll lead engineers building control planes, policy systems, workload and agent authorization patterns, infrastructure-as-code, and operational foundations that help OpenAI move quickly while keeping access reliable, auditable, least-privileged, and safe under failure. The ideal candidate has led teams responsible for large-scale, mission-critical infrastructure. They can go deep into code and architecture when needed, while giving engineers and technical leads the clarity and ownership to do their best work. They set technical direction, grow strong teams, make durable architecture decisions, and turn ambiguous 0-to-1 problems into platforms OpenAI can trust and build on for years. In this role, you will: Build and lead a high-performing Identity Infrastructure team, going deep enough technically to set direction while empowering the team to own delivery. Define the strategy for identity platform as the policy plane for access across people, agents, workloads, services, clouds, and internal systems. Scale Acc

About the role We’re looking for an engineering manager to lead a team building software systems that detect and prevent harmful misuse of frontier AI models—before incidents occur. This is a builder’s role: you’ll lead engineers shipping production services, detection pipelines, and mitigation mechanisms that protect frontier model integrity and reduce high-severity misuse risk. While this work intersects with frontier model development, security and risk, we’re explicitly seeking someone with a software engineering foundation who is comfortable building reliable systems that can operate at billions of users scale. In this role you will: Lead a team of software engineers building detection + mitigation systems for frontier model misuse, with an emphasis on model IP protection / distillation detection and emerging risk surfaces from autonomous agents. Set the technical roadmap and execution strategy: prioritize, design, ship, iterate, measure impact. Build production systems: services, pipelines, tooling, instrumentation, and automation that scale with frontier model usage. Partner deeply with Research and Product to translate evolving model capabilities into concrete tests, signals, and mitigations that can be deployed at scale. Drive strong engineering fundamentals: architecture, reliability, monitoring, performance, and operational excellence. Hire and grow an exceptional team across backend, data systems, and applied ML engineering domains as needed. Anticipate what breaks at scale as agentic workflows become more capable. You might thrive in this role if you: Experience building systems in adversarial, fast-evolving environments Are comfortable with ambiguity and novelty Have experience adjacent to security (e.g., abuse prevention, fraud, integrity, platform defense, auth/identity, malware/spam, adversarial environments) Communicate clearly and build trust quickly with senior stakeholders—pragmatic, collaborative, and calm under scrutiny.

About the Team The Cooperative AI team is scaling OpenAI with OpenAI. We are building a model-powered scaled automated workforce and knowledge system that evolves and learns alongside a human workforce. By leveraging OpenAI’s state-of-the-art models and technologies, some already in production, others still in the lab, we develop systems that reason and work autonomously for a wide variety of operational work. We leverage real workloads for critical systems across finance, sales, customer support, integrity, product insights, internal operations, and more in order to drive insights into product and industry. We partner closely with internal teams and external customers globally, operating in a hyper-fast feedback loop where many of our users are just a few steps away. This proximity allows us to iterate quickly, validate impact in real time, and accelerate industry impacting learnings and systems builds. We are a highly multidisciplinary, self-contained team focused on transforming the workplace via smart systems, knowledge, scalable and reliable primitives that apply world-class AI capabilities across domains. Our mission is to learn fast and transform how humans collaborate with AI at scale. About the Role We are looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead a small, fast-moving team building AI-powered automation systems that redefine how work gets done across OpenAI.
