Senior Platform Hardware Engineer in United States

About the Team OpenAI’s GTM Data Science team helps shape how our products are adopted, monetized, and scaled across organizations. We work at the intersection of Product, Go-to-Market, Finance, Research, and Data, turning product usage, customer evidence, and market signals into decisions that grow durable enterprise value. We’re looking for a senior Data Scientist to own the analytical strategy for enterprise knowledge-worker adoption. As ChatGPT Work and Codex become capable of research, analysis, document creation, spreadsheets, presentations, internal knowledge synthesis, and other agentic workflows, you will help determine how these products become embedded in everyday work—not merely tried once. About the Role You will define how we measure activation, retained usage, workflow depth, and value across ChatGPT Work, Codex, and connected enterprise systems. You will explain why adoption succeeds or stalls and identify the product, enablement, and commercial interventions most likely to create durable usage. This is a hands-on, zero-to-one role. You will work through imperfect telemetry, overlapping product surfaces, evolving definitions, and ambiguous business questions.
