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. You will partner closely with GTM, Product, Finance, Research, Customer Deployment, Analytics Engineering, and Data Science. Your work is successful when it changes a product, GTM, or investment decision. In This Role, You Will Define a trusted measurement framework for knowledge-worker adoption, including identity, eligible populations, activation, retained usage, penetration, workflow depth, feature adoption, and monetization. Map the knowledge-worker journey from initial exposure through first successful task, repeated workflows, multi-surface usage, and durable adoption. Identify which personas, functions, use cases, product capabilities, and account conditions are associated with deep and retained usage. Design and evaluate experiments and quasi-experiments across onboarding, enablement, wo

About the Role We’re looking for someone who cares about the developer experience of working in and around OpenAI’s core training and inference frameworks. In this role you will: Be responsible for optimizing the development workflows of the engineers around you Work within various Workload teams to address their specific needs, but collaborate with the centralized teams that own various aspects of development experience Optimize iteration speed, both broadly, and in particular by optimizing specific teams’ CI Improve reliability, for instance, by driving testing strategy for particular components Work through the long tail of things that it takes to build libraries and systems that will delight researchers You might thrive in this role if: You are motivated by helping people. You believe a thing that separates great teams from good teams are the players willing to do whatever work it takes, without ego. You believe in the power of developer experience. Something magical happens when people can quickly and confidently iterate on a simple codebase, but this magic is fragile and must be fought for. When you see someone trip over something, no matter how small, your first instinct is asking yourself what it would take for that to not happen again. Your second instinct is clicking merge on the PR you’ve already written to make it so. You are pragmatic. You have the ability to see the world through a perfectionist’s eyes, but are not yourself a perfectionist. You know which problems to pick and when to switch to making progress on a different problem. You like going end-to-end on things. You love co-design — that feeling when you were only able to find the right solution because you both deeply understand the users that interact with a system and the
