Lead Junior Freelance Remote Remote Test Program Development Engineer Manager Specialist in San Francisco

About the Team Training Runtime builds the distributed systems that power OpenAI's largest model training runs - most recently GPT-5.5! The Data Movement area owns the infrastructure that keeps training jobs supplied with the right data at the right time, and keeps model state moving safely and efficiently across large clusters. Our work spans machine learning systems, distributed storage, high-throughput data loading, reliability engineering, and developer experience. Success means researchers can move quickly while training runs remain fast, reproducible, debuggable, and resilient at scale. About the Role We are looking for a deeply hands-on Technical Lead Manager to own datasets throughout our training infrastructure. This person will set the direction for how training jobs read data: the APIs, storage contracts, versioning model, benchmarks, debugging tools, and reliability guarantees that make data access consistent across current and future training frameworks. You will begin as the primary technical owner for dataset reads, working directly in the code while aligning researchers, training framework owners, storage teams, and infrastructure partners around a durable platform. The problem is deceptively hard at frontier scale: make enormous, heterogeneous datasets easy to consume, correct across distributed workers, observable when something goes wrong, and flexible enough to support pretraining, reinforcement learning, and multimodal training. In this role, you will Design and build a unified dataset read platform for multiple current and future training frameworks. Define dataset APIs, storage-format expectations, registration/versioning, and migration paths that make data access reproducible and maintainable. Build reliability into the read path, including stateful iteration, caching, fast restart, recovery, and clear operational contracts. Build terminal and web-based visualizers that let teams inspect text, multimodal, and reinforcement learning data late

This role sits at the intersection of silicon, systems, infrastructure, data center operations, and software. You will lead a team focused on taking new hardware platforms from lab validation into production data center deployment. You will be responsible for building the operational processes, technical workflows, tooling, and cross-functional alignment required to deploy and operate custom AI hardware reliably in OpenAI’s supercomputing infrastructure. The ideal candidate is both a strong leader and a deeply technical operator. You should be comfortable staying close to the technical details of hardware bring-up, fleet deployment, debugging, system validation, data center integration, and production operations. This role requires strong execution, excellent cross-functional judgment, and the ability to drive clarity in ambiguous, fast-moving environments. In this role, you will: Lead a team responsible for deployment and operations of OpenAI’s custom silicon and systems in data center environments Own the path from hardware bring-up and validation through production deployment, operati

About Us: AI needs a new infrastructure layer. We're building it at Modal. Every era of computing brought new workloads that previous infrastructure couldn't support: mainframes, databases, and the cloud. Each time, the company that rebuilt the layer underneath defined the decade. AI is no different, except it touches everything instead of one slice, and the window to build the layer underneath it is open right now. Our customers include category-defining companies like Lovable , Ramp , Cognition, DoorDash, and Suno. They rely on Modal for instant GPU access, sub-second container starts, and native storage, so it's simple to serve low-latency inference, fine-tune models, and access production-ready sandboxes at scale. We recently raised a $355M Series C at a $4.65B valuation, led by General Catalyst and Redpoint Ventures. We've crossed $300M+ ARR and grown fivefold since September. Our team includes creators of popular open-source projects (e.g., Seaborn , Luig i ), academic researchers, international olympiad medalists, and experienced engineering and product leaders with decades of experience. The Role Modal's LLM inference platform delivers frontier performance for open-source models with best-in-class elasticity and developer experience, made in part possible by our custom runtime with GPU memory snapshots and multi-cloud substrate .
