About the Team OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. The Engineering Acceleration team builds products that multiply the effectiveness of OpenAI’s technical teams, helping engineers, researchers, and product teams understand complex systems, learn from what they ship, and operate reliably at scale. As AI changes how software is built, we have an opportunity to rethink engineering workflows from first principles. We’re creating tools and shared systems that turn complex data, experimentation, and technical workflows into clear decisions and useful action. About the Role In this role, you’ll lead design across two connected product areas: a real-time data exploration and observability experience for investigating large-scale system and product behavior, and an experimentation platform for safely launching changes, measuring their impact, and deciding whether to ramp, iterate, or roll back. This is more than a dashboard-design role. You’ll define the interaction models that take someone from a vague question or unexpected signal to a trustworthy answer and clear next step. You’ll work closely with engineers, researchers, data scientists, and product teams to understand the mechanics of their work and make dense technical systems coherent without flattening the details that matter. You’ll also help establish greater consistency across OpenAI’s enterprise and internal tools, developing durable patterns that support AI-native workflows and enable other designers to build more effectively. This role is based in our Seattle, WA or San Francisco, CA offices. We offer relocation assistance to new employees. In this role, you will: Lead end-to-end design for data-intensive products used by engineers, researchers, and product teams. Shape the complete learning loop: instrument, launch, observe, investigate, evaluate, decide, and iterate. Create clear, high-craft workflows for querying, filtering, comparison, drill-d
About the Team OpenAI, in close collaboration with our capital partners, is embarking on a journey to build the world’s most advanced AI infrastructure ecosystem. The Stargate team is central to this mission, setting the core infra strategy and implementing this vision. From site selection to the buildout process, this team sits at the intersection of commercial, technical, strategy, and operations, interacting with teams and executives inside and outside of OpenAI. About the Role The New Geography and International Growth Lead will own the strategy for infrastructure expansion into new geographies, including market assessment, stakeholder engagement, and coordination across energy, policy, commercial, and other infrastructure workstreams. This role identifies and enables priority international growth opportunities while ensuring alignment with regional regulatory, operational, sustainability, and long-term infrastructure objectives. This is an individual contributor lead role and does not have direct reports initially. The role will translate ambiguous market-entry questions into clear recommendations, identify the conditions required for OpenAI to advance in new regions, and coordinate the cross-functional work needed to turn priority geographies into executable infrastructure options. Key Responsibilities Build market-entry frameworks for international infrastructure geographies, including power availability, land readiness, regulatory posture, commercial fit, and execution risk. Assess priority regions and countries against OpenAI’s long-term compute, energy, sustainability, policy, and operational objectives. Coordinate cross-functional geographic diligence with energy, policy, commercial, legal, finance, procurement, engineering, and site-readiness stakeholders. Lead early stakeholder mapping and engagement strategy with utilities, regulators, government entities, developers, capital partners, and other market participants.

From site selection to the buildout process, this team sits at the intersection of commercial, technical, strategy, and operations, interacting with teams and executives inside and outside of OpenAI. About the Role The Clean Energy and New Technology Lead will own infrastructure clean energy and emerging energy technology strategy and execution, identifying and deploying scalable solutions that enable resilient, low-carbon compute and data center growth. The role will work closely with regulatory and policy teams to align infrastructure expansion with OpenAI’s long-term environmental and operational objectives. This is an individual contributor lead role and does not have direct reports initially. The role will evaluate where emerging energy technologies can materially improve reliability, cost, carbon, speed, or resilience; translate those options into practical deployment pathways; and help ensure OpenAI’s infrastructure growth remains aligned with sustainability considerations. Key Responsibilities Evaluate emerging energy solutions such as clean firm power, advanced storage, grid flexibility, low-carbon backup power, heat reuse, water-related energy efficiency, and other scalable technologies where relevant. Identify pilot opportunities and deployment pathways that can move promising energy technologies from concept to commercially and operationally credible execution. Translate technical options into clear reliability, cost, schedule, carbon, regulatory, and operational implications for infrastructure decision-making. Partner with energy regulatory, policy, procurement, engineering, deployment, finance, legal, and site-readiness teams to align technology and sustainability choices with
About the Team OpenAI’s Financial Engineering (FinEng) team powers how revenue flows through our products—pricing & packaging, checkout, payments, subscriptions, and the financial infrastructure behind them.
