About the Team Training Runtime designs the core distributed machine-learning training runtime that powers everything from early research experiments to frontier-scale model runs. With a dual mandate to accelerate researchers and enable frontier scale, we’re building a unified, modular runtime that meets researchers where they are and moves with them up the scaling curve. Our work focuses on three pillars: high-performance, asynchronous, zero-copy tensor and optimizer-state-aware data movement; performant, high-uptime, fault-tolerant training frameworks (training loop, state management, resilient checkpointing, deterministic orchestration, and observability); and distributed process management for long-lived, job-specific and user-provided processes. We integrate proven large-scale capabilities into a composable, developer-facing runtime so teams can iterate quickly and run reliably at any scale, partnering closely with model-stack, research, and platform teams. Success for us is measured by raising both training throughput (how fast models train) and researcher throughput (how fast ideas become experiments and products). About the Role As a Training: ML Framework Engineer, you will work on improving the training throughput for our internal training framework, while enabling researchers to experiment with new ideas. This requires good engineering (for example designing, implementing, and optimizing state-of-the-art AI models), writing bug-free machine learning code (surprisingly difficult!), and acquiring deep knowledge of the performance of supercomputers. In all the projects this role pursues, the ultimate goal is to push the field forward. We’re looking for people who love optimizing performance, understanding distributed systems, and who cannot stand having bugs in their code. Since our training framework is used for large runs with massive numbers of GPUs, performance improvements here will have a large impact. This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a
About the Team The IT and Security organization builds the systems, data foundations, and automation that help OpenAI operate securely and reliably at scale. We support critical domains across identity, access, infrastructure security, enterprise systems, and internal productivity. As OpenAI grows, audit readiness and control assurance increasingly depend on reliable data: accurate system inventories, access populations, change records, configuration state, exception signals, and evidence generated directly from source systems. Our goal is to move beyond manual evidence collection and build scalable data products, automated validation, and continuous control monitoring that make security and IT controls measurable, repeatable, and defensible. About the Role We are looking for an IT Controls Data Engineer to build the data infrastructure that powers audit readiness, IT controls, evidence automation, and continuous control monitoring. In this role, you will design and maintain the pipelines, datasets, models, validation logic, dashboards, and evidence exports that make IT controls measurable, repeatable, and defensible. You will work across Security, IT, Infrastructure, Engineering, Finance Risk Management, and auditors to turn complex system behavior into reliable control data products. This is a technical builder role. The ideal candidate is strong in data engineering and analytics engineering, comfortable working with enterprise and security system data, and able to explain data lineage, source-system behavior, and control logic clearly to technical and audit stakeholders. You’ll be responsible for Building reliable data pipelines, models, and datasets for IT controls, including access, identity, configuration, change, ticketing, exception, and evidence data. Creating data quality, lineage, reconciliation, and completeness checks that make control data defensible for SOX and other audit use cases.

You’ll analyze large-scale training runs, identify utilization gaps, and design optimizations that push the boundaries of throughput and uptime. This role blends deep systems understanding with practical performance engineering — analyzing GPU kernel performance, collective communication throughput, investigating I/O bottlenecks, and sharding our models so we can train them at massive scale. You’ll help ensure that our clusters are running at peak performance, enabling OpenAI to train larger, more capable models with the same compute budget. This role is based in San Francisco, CA.
