Software Engineer, ChatGPT Infrastructure
About the Team ChatGPT is a rapidly evolving system: new capabilities ship continuously, product surfaces change quickly, and usage patterns shift week-to-week. Supporting that pace requires infrastructure that can handle real production constraints—high concurrency, unpredictable traffic patterns, complex dependency graphs, and frequent change. The ChatGPT Infrastructure team builds and operates the platforms that enable fast iteration without compromising performance or reliability. We design shared systems, data paths, rollout mechanisms, and reliability guardrails that teams rely on to ship changes to ChatGPT at scale. We focus on high-leverage infrastructure: primitives and “golden paths” that incorporate operational lessons as defaults, so engineers don’t need to rediscover failure modes, latency pitfalls, or integration issues each time they build something new. About the Role We’re hiring Senior and Staff Engineers to design and build infrastructure systems that underlie ChatGPT and multiply the effectiveness of teams building user experiences. This is not a support-only role. It’s a platform-building role: you’ll define interfaces, develop core abstractions, and create tooling to make safe, fast iteration the norm. Your work will reduce friction, prevent regressions, improve performance, and ensure systems scale gracefully as the product grows. Where You Can Have Impact - You might work on one or more of the following areas (without being restricted to any single area): - Platform foundations & frameworks: Core libraries, service frameworks, and shared components that standardize system building, integration, and evolution. - Scalability & performance primitives: Patterns and infrastructure that reduce tail latency, improve throughput, and keep costs predictable as demand increases. - Reliability guardrails: Mechanisms that prevent outages by design—rate limiting, load shedding, dependency isolation, backpressure, safe fallbacks, and robust regression controls. - Developer productivity via golden paths: Paved roads for common workflows (data access patterns, service integration, request lifecycle) that are fast, safe, and easy to use. - Observability & debugging systems: Instrumentation, metrics models, and investigative tooling that turn vague symptoms (“it’s slow”) into precise, actionable diagnoses. - Safe change management: Deployment and rollout systems that support rapid iteration with confidence—progressive delivery, automated verification, and fast rollback strategies. - Interface and contract design across boundaries: Clean APIs and stable contracts that reduce coupling and enable independent evolution across a complex ecosystem. What You’ll Do - Build and evolve infrastructure platforms used by many engineers and services. - Translate real-world constraints into clean abstractions: simple APIs, enforceable contracts, safe defaults. - Drive improvements in reliability and performance through principled design, measurement, and iterative hardening. - Partner with engineering and product teams to identify systemic pain points and develop reusable solutions. - Own outcomes end-to-end: design → implementation → rollout → operational maturity. Qualifications Minimum Qualifications - Experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems in production (high throughput, concurrency, and failure handling). - Strong fundamentals in systems design, including caching, consistency, queueing/backpressure, and resilient dependency management. - Ability to reason about performance (latency distributions, tail behavior, bottlenecks) and translate analysis into concrete engineering work. - Track record of building platforms or shared infrastructure that improves velocity and correctness for other teams. - Excellent communication and collaboration skills—aligning on interfaces, navigating tradeoffs, and driving cross-team execution. Preferred Qualifications - Experience designing paved roads / golden paths (framewor

Software Engineer, Product - Core Experimentation
ABOUT THE TEAM The Statsig team within OpenAI builds the experimentation, feature rollout, dynamic configuration, and analytics systems that help OpenAI ship products with speed, safety, and evidence. Our work sits on the critical path for how product, engineering, research, and go-to-market teams learn from real-world usage and make high-confidence decisions. Statsig began as an independent company focused on helping builders move faster through trustworthy experimentation and feature management. After Statsig joined OpenAI, the team began the next chapter: bringing that deep product expertise, customer intuition, and mature platform infrastructure into OpenAI as the experimentation and rollout platform for every product we ship. Today, we support teams across ChatGPT, Codex, model measurement, consumer experiences including ads, business subscriptions, developer products, and the shared infrastructure that connects them. These teams rely on Statsig to safely introduce new capabilities, compare product and model behavior, measure impact, and roll changes forward or back with confidence. We are at a defining moment in the platform journey. OpenAI has the data, product surface area, and pace of innovation to learn faster than almost any organization in the world, but that potential only becomes real if teams can experiment responsibly, measure clearly, and roll out changes safely. Adoption of the platform is accelerating rapidly across the company, and recent SDK and server-side infrastructure work has already produced measurable wins in latency, reliability, memory usage, and compute efficiency for important services. Based out of OpenAI’s Bellevue office, we are a close-knit team that values in-person collaboration, urgency, craft, and impact. We build for other builders, and the best version of this team is one where every OpenAI product team can move faster because the experimentation and rollout layer is dependable, fast, and easy to use. ABOUT THE ROLE We are looking for a product engineer to help build the systems that make experimentation and rollout a first-class capability across OpenAI. You will work across frontend, backend, SDK, data, and infrastructure surfaces, with a focus on making complex workflows feel simple for the teams shipping OpenAI’s most important products. This role is not only about adding features to a platform. It is about shaping the operating system OpenAI uses to decide what to launch, how to learn from it, and how to protect users and products as we scale. OpenAI’s next phase depends on our ability to move quickly without losing rigor, and Statsig is one of the places where that balance becomes real. You will collaborate closely with teams building ChatGPT, Codex, model measurement workflows, consumer monetization and ads, business subscription experiences, developer products, and shared infrastructure. You will translate their launch and measurement needs into platform capabilities that can support the full company, not just one-off use cases. IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL - Build product experiences and platform capabilities for experimentation, feature flags, dynamic configuration, rollout safety, and analytics. - Partner with product teams to understand launch workflows, measurement needs, and decision points, then turn those insights into durable platform features. - Improve SDK and server-side systems so experimentation and configuration are fast, reliable, and safe for high-scale OpenAI services. - Help teams across ChatGPT, Codex, model measurement, ads, business subscriptions, developer products, and infrastructure use Statsig effectively. - Design workflows that make it easier to create experiments, interpret results, monitor rollouts, and act quickly when a launch needs adjustment. - Contribute to the technical direction of a platform that must support rapid adoption, high availability, and increasingly sophisticated product and model evaluation needs. - Work from the Bellevue office with

By prioritizing security, reliability, and user-centric solutions, we empower OpenAI employees to drive impactful AI research, corporate operations, and product innovation. About the Role As a Software Engineer: Internal Applications, Enterprise, you will build internal products that make technology support and administration safer, faster, and less dependent on manual intervention. You will help reduce reliance on broadly privileged human actions, turn recurring technology problems into paved paths, and build agentic systems that can help resolve tickets end to end. A core part of the role is building the interfaces that bring employees, AI agents, and human responders together in a shared ITSM experience, with the right context, controls, and handoffs at each step. We are seeking engineers who enjoy working across frontend and backend layers on ambiguous, high-leverage enterprise problems. You should bring strong product judgment, solid backend engineering fundamentals, and an interest in building software that changes how technology support, system administration, and agent-assisted operations are delivered. The best fit will care as much about the quality of the operator and employee experience as the correctness of the backend systems behind it. In this role, you will: - Build frontend experiences that let employees request help, let agents gather context and take safe actions, and let human responders review, approve, or take over without losing the thread. - Reduce reliance on broadly privileged manual actions by replacing them with narrow, auditable, policy-aware automation. - Turn recurring technology support and administration problems into paved-path processes that can be completed consistently and, where appropriate, without a human in the loop. - Build agentic solutions that can understand tickets, gather context, execute safe actions, and escalate intelligently when automation is not enough. - Improve ITSM experiences across intake, routing, execution, handoff, and auditability. - Create reusable tools, APIs, and execution primitives that agents and operators can use safely across enterprise systems. - Design internal applications that pair strong frontend usability with robust backend systems, especially for complex operational tasks. - Partner closely with IT, Security, and business teams to identify where software can remove friction, reduce risk, and improve operational leverage. - Work with IAM and Security partners to ensure internal applications align with Zero Trust principles, RBAC expectations, and compliance needs. - Build backend foundations that support secure products across identity, ITSM, ticketing, and service integrations. - Strengthen monitoring, observability, and incident readiness for the systems behind these experiences. - Manage multiple initiatives while maintaining a high bar for usability, implementation quality, and operational follow-through. You may be right for this role if you have: - Strong experience building production software across both frontend and backend layers, with particular strength in modern frontend development. - Experience designing interfaces for complex operational products, internal tools, or case-management systems. - A track record of turning ambiguous operational problems into clear, usable products or systems. - Solid backend engineering fundamentals in API design, data modeling, integrations, and system reliability. - Experience building internal platforms, support tooling, automation systems, or operational products. - Interest in agentic systems, ITSM, enterpr

Researcher, Alignment CoT Monitorability
ABOUT THE TEAM The CoT Monitorability team at OpenAI studies whether and when the chain-of-thought of frontier reasoning models is monitorable enough to support scalable oversight. We study how to measure monitorability https://openai.com/index/evaluating-chain-of-thought-monitorability/, which training mechanisms affect monitorability, and speculative methods to improve monitorability. While we mostly focus on CoT monitorability at the moment, we care more generally about any form of monitorability, auditing methods, and improving alignment. We were the first to show https://openai.com/index/chain-of-thought-monitoring/ that chain-of-thought monitoring can be a practical additional safety mechanism, and today our monitoring systems are actively used on OpenAI’s largest RL training runs to detect misbehavior. The issues we surface are then used to help improve our reward functions, environments, etc (without directly training against a CoT monitor). Our work sits in Alignment and intersects with model training, alignment evaluations, monitoring, and frontier-risk research.We care most about monitorability where the stakes are high, and about preserving useful oversight signals as models become more capable. ABOUT THE ROLE We’re looking for a researcher with strong empirical ML expertise and a deep interest in model behavior, alignment, or interpretability. Direct chain-of-thought interpretability experience is welcome but not required; strong candidates may come from broader interpretability, alignment, model training, or investigative model-behavior work. As a researcher on the Alignment team, you will design and run experiments that improve our understanding of model monitorability. You will investigate how training interventions across the model-development pipeline influence whether reasoning remains legible, build evaluations that make those questions measurable, and help translate findings into practical oversight and training recommendations. You may also help develop new monitoring models or methods and apply them to OpenAI’s largest training runs. This role is especially well suited for someone who can move from an ambiguous model-behavior question to a concrete experimental setup: formulate the hypothesis, build the evaluation or intervention, run the experiment, analyze the result, and decide what the evidence supports. This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees. IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL: - Design and run empirical studies of chain-of-thought monitorability across frontier reasoning models and training settings. - Build evaluations that measure whether monitors can reliably predict properties of interest, including high-stakes forms of misbehavior. - Investigate how pre-training, synthetic data, mid-training, post-training, reinforcement learning, and other interventions improve or degrade monitorability. - Analyze model behavior and turn observations from monitoring into hypotheses, experiments, and recommendations. - Translate research findings into practical monitoring and oversight approaches that can inform real training runs. - Collaborate with researchers and engineers across model training, alignment evaluations, monitoring, and frontier-risk work. - Produce externally publishable research when results advance the broader science of alignment. YOU MIGHT THRIVE IN THIS ROLE IF YOU: - Have strong hands-on experience training, evaluating, or debugging large ML models, especially LLMs. - Have deep curiosity, interest in alignment, and high agency. - Bring depth in alignment, interpretability, model behavior, empirical ML, or adjacent research. - Are excited to investigate chain-of-thought monitorability, monitoring methods, and scalable oversight. - Can turn ambiguous research questions into measurable experiments and follow the evidence when results are subtle or noisy. - Move comfortably between research id

Agent Post-Training, Context Research
ABOUT THE TEAM The Agent Post-Training team creates the frontier agents OpenAI ships to the world. We are training the models behind our agents in Codex, ChatGPT, the API, and other frontier products: persistent, proactive intelligence that can operate computers, collaborate with people and other agents, and expand what people and organizations can imagine, attempt, and achieve. We define what the next generation of agents should be able to do, build the training signal that teaches those abilities, and run the experiments that make them real. Our work spans coding, tool use, computer use, multi-agent coordination, long-horizon execution, factuality, instruction following, calibrated reasoning, and taste. Our team is where new model capabilities get made. We build the data, environments, graders, training methods, and feedback loops that shape what OpenAI's next agents can do, then carry those capabilities through major training runs and into the products people use. ABOUT THE ROLE We believe that the final enabler for AGI is spending compute on context. As a Context Researcher on Agent Post-Training, you will scale compute spent on context. You will get to work in our frontier training stack on enabling the next paradigm of model training with a clear product interface for iterative deployment (Codex Chronicle). You will work with researchers, engineers, product teams, infrastructure teams, and safety/alignment partners to decide what should go into major model runs, measure whether it worked, and ship improvements into products used by real people. This is a high-agency role for people who want their work to land directly in frontier models. IN THIS ROLE, YOU MIGHT - Design and run experiments that improve scaling of compute on context. - Own end-to-end improvements to the post-training stack, including RL, data pipelines, graders, reward signals, evals, diagnostics, and model-behavior analysis. - Build evals and environments that expose the next set of model failures, then turn those failures into training data, product fixes, or new research directions. - Partner with Codex and ChatGPT product teams to understand what users need and translate product signal into model improvements. - Work on early-training and alignment interventions, including data mixtures, objectives, synthetic data, and eval loops that shape downstream agent behavior. - Help decide which integrations, capabilities, and fixes are ready for inclusion in major model runs. - Improve the machinery for large-scale training and launch: experiment velocity, reliability, observability, reproducibility, cost, latency, and production readiness. - Take on cross-functional projects that touch model training, product infrastructure, and the production agent harness, such as multi-agent systems or training directly against production-like environments. - Debug hard failures in shipped or near-shipped models and turn messy qualitative behavior into concrete hypotheses, experiments, and fixes. YOU MIGHT THRIVE IN THIS ROLE IF YOU - Have strong technical fundamentals in machine learning, software engineering, systems, statistics, or a related field, and can learn quickly across the parts you have not worked in before. - Have hands-on experience with LLMs, RL, RLHF/RLAIF, post-training, evals, graders, synthetic data, model training, coding agents, tool-using agents, or production ML systems. - Are excited by open-ended problems where the path is unclear, the signal is noisy, and the right answer requires both research taste and engineering execution. - Care about product impact and model behavior, not just benchmark movement. You have opinions about what makes an agent useful, reliable, honest, tasteful, and easy to work with. - Can move from a vague behavioral problem to a concrete experiment: define the hypothesis, build the pipeline, run the model, analyze the result, and decide what to do next. - Are comfortable working across research, product, infrastructure, data
Software Engineer, Productivity - Inference Runtime
ABOUT THE TEAM We’re hiring a Developer Productivity engineer to support OpenAI’s Inference Runtime teams. These teams own the systems responsible for serving models reliably, efficiently, and safely across Codex, ChatGPT, API, and internal research workloads. We’re hiring a Developer Productivity Engineer to help scale the engineering systems, safeguards, and developer workflows that enable our teams to move quickly without compromising reliability or performance. This role sits at the intersection of developer experience, CI/CD infrastructure, release engineering, production readiness, and inference systems reliability. You’ll work on the tooling and operational foundations that support model launches, inference optimizations, cloud provider integrations, and large-scale deployments across a rapidly evolving inference stack. ABOUT THE ROLE We’re looking for an autonomous, high-ownership engineer who cares deeply about making other engineers faster, safer, and more confident. A major focus of this role will be improving the tooling and infrastructure around deploy gates for inference engine images. These systems help ensure that every image released to production and research is correct, numerically sound, free of regressions, and performant across key metrics like time-to-first-token (TTFT) and time-between-tokens (TBT). You’ll help harden the systems that catch issues before they reach production, reduce noise from flaky or infrastructure-related test failures, and improve automation around triage, ownership, debugging, and escalation when failures occur.

Agentic Risk Analyst
ABOUT THE TEAM The Intelligence and Investigations team seeks to rapidly identify and mitigate abuse and strategic risks to ensure a safe online ecosystem. We are dedicated to identifying emerging abuse trends, analyzing risks, and working with our internal and external partners to implement effective mitigation strategies to protect against misuse. Our efforts contribute to OpenAI's overarching goal of developing AI that benefits humanity. The Strategic Intelligence & Analysis (SIA) team provides safety intelligence for OpenAI’s products by monitoring, analyzing, and forecasting real-world abuse, geopolitical risks, and strategic threats. Our work informs safety mitigations, product decisions, and partnerships, ensuring OpenAI’s tools are deployed securely and responsibly across critical sectors. ABOUT THE ROLE As an Agentic Risk Analyst, you will shape OpenAI’s operating picture for current agentic risk across products and platforms. You will bring a strategic, system-level perspective to current risks, connecting individual incidents, technical findings, abuse patterns, and external developments to relevant workstreams, mitigations, owners, dependencies, and residual gaps. You will analyze how risks emerge through autonomy, multi-step task execution, tool use, memory, retrieval, connectors, computer-use capabilities, and multi-agent workflows, with a particular focus on both adversarial misuse and unintended system behavior. By synthesizing signals from investigations, evaluations, red teaming, security reviews, product launches, external research, and real-world incidents, you will maintain a current view of material risks and evolving threat patterns. Your work will help turn complex and often ambiguous signals into coordinated decisions and measurable follow-through across product, safety, security, policy, and governance teams. You will work closely with investigators, engineers, product, policy, safety, and security teams, and measurement and forecasting experts who lead longer-horizon risk discovery and scenario work to maintain a shared operating picture of current risks, mitigation priorities, owners, and dependencies. This is an opportunity to help shape how OpenAI coordinates decisions and follow-through across the evolving risk landscape of increasingly capable agentic systems, ensuring that safety decisions keep pace with rapidly advancing technology. IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL: - Build and maintain a current, company-wide portfolio of material agentic risks across OpenAI’s products, platforms, and emerging capabilities, mapping each risk to relevant workstreams, owners, mitigations, dependencies, decisions, and residual gaps. - Run a cross-functional intake and review cadence for signals from across OpenAI and the broader ecosystem to identify emerging risks, evolving threat patterns, and important shifts in the agentic risk landscape, routing findings to the right owners and decision-makers - Connect individual incidents, technical findings, evaluations, and weak signals to broader system-level trends, producing clear assessments of impact, severity, evidence, uncertainty, priority, and recommended action. - Assess how emerging capabilities, product changes, ecosystem developments, and adversary adaptation may affect current risk priorities and launch readiness, surfacing risks that are unowned, stalled, or under-mitigated for decision and escalation, and tracking residual risk after launch. - In partnership with colleagues who lead horizon scanning, use relevant external developments across AI safety and security research, public incidents, adversarial activity, industry standards, emerging technologies, and competitor products, as inputs to current risk prioritization and mitigation decisions at OpenAI. - Apply and refine practical frameworks and taxonomies for current agentic failure modes, control gaps, abuse patterns, and potential downstream harms across products, deployment environments, and user workflows,
Researcher, Alignment Training
About The Team The Alignment Training team studies how frontier models acquire durable behavioral tendencies across the training stack. We work on identifying which behaviors can be shaped through pre-training, mid-training, and post-training; building the data, objectives, and evaluations needed to influence them; and determining whether the resulting behavior reflects a general learned tendency or a narrow artifact of the training distribution. Our work spans synthetic data, pre-training, mid-training, post-training, model behavior, and evaluation. We study how models learn to interpret intent, follow instructions, reason through tasks, express uncertainty, act honestly, and remain reliable under new conditions. The goal is to make desirable tendencies emerge early, strengthen throughout training, and appear robustly in deployed systems. About The Role We’re looking for a senior researcher with exceptional technical depth in large-scale model training, synthetic data, or evaluation who is excited to study how training choices shape aligned behavior in frontier models. You will help shape the research agenda for alignment training: defining the behaviors we want models to learn, designing data and training interventions to teach them, and building the evaluation loops needed to tell whether those behaviors are broad, robust, and durable. The strongest candidates will be able to move from an ambiguous behavioral question to a concrete experimental program: formulate the hypothesis, design the intervention, build the pipeline, run the experiment, and decide whether the result is real. This role is especially well suited for someone who wants to work close to the core model training loop, where choices about data, objectives, and evaluation directly shape how aligned deployed systems are. In this role, you'll: - Develop synthetic data methods that teach models higher-level behavioral tendencies, such as understanding user intent, following instructions reliably, reasoning clearly, being honest, and acting consistently with intended goals and constraints. - Study how pre-training, mid-training, and post-training each shape downstream model behavior, and which interventions are best applied at which stage. - Build evaluation loops that connect model behavior back to training data and training objectives, so the team can iterate faster and with clearer signal. - Design reusable data generation and filtering pipelines that improve the quality, diversity, and robustness of training data. - Create experiments that distinguish durable learned behavior from benchmark gains, distribution-specific effects, or evaluation artifacts. - Collaborate across pre-training, post-training, alignment, and product-facing teams to translate research insights into better model behavior. - Help define the research agenda for alignment training: which behaviors should remain invariant across settings, which should adapt, and how to measure whether models have learned an underlying principle rather than a surface pattern. You might thrive in this role if you: - Have a strong record of technically excellent work in large-scale ML, especially in pre-training, post-training, synthetic data, model evaluation, or training infrastructure. - Are comfortable designing experiments where the signal is subtle, noisy, or indirect. - Can move between research taste and engineering execution: forming hypotheses, building pipelines, running experiments, analyzing results, and turning findings into the next iteration. - Have unusually good judgment about which research questions are worth pursuing and which signals are strong enough to trust. - Care about making models more useful, honest, steerable, and reliable for real users. - Are excited by alignment problems, even if you have not worked in alignment before. - Communicate clearly across research, engineering, and product contexts. - Prefer practical, evidence-driven work grounded in experiments.

Frontier AI systems are expanding what people can do across domains, creating both enormous opportunities and difficult safety questions: when should a model help, when should it refuse, and how do we make those boundaries clear enough to train, evaluate, and enforce? In this role, you will help define how OpenAI’s models should behave in high-risk or high-ambiguity contexts, such as agentic systems, multimodal systems, user safety, privacy, and other emerging risk domains. This is an ideal role for someone who can move across unfamiliar topics, reason from first principles, and turn ambiguity into practical model behavior. You will work closely with research, engineering, product, preparedness, and operations teams to build policies that are technically grounded, measurable, and responsive to real-world risk. In this role, you will: - Design and maintain model policies across safety-relevant domains, including dual-use, agentic, and emerging frontier-risk areas. - Translate risk and harm models into clear behavioral specifications, evaluation criteria, grading guidance, and system-level safeguards. - Define practical boundaries between beneficial uses of AI and assistance that could materially enable harm, exploitation, misuse, or unsafe outcomes. - Build policy artifacts that support model training, evaluation, and deployment.Partner with safety researchers, engineers, product teams, and other stakeholders to operationalize policy into scalable model behavior and measurable safeguards. - Use red-teaming results, deployment data, model failures, over-refusals, under-refusals, and ambiguous edge cases to improve policy and evaluation quality over time. - Identify emerging capability areas where frontier AI systems could create new safety challenges or lower barriers to harm. - Study real-world deployments to identify where model behavior succeeds, fails, or drifts from the intended safety posture. - Combine longer-horizon safety research with hands-on launch and deployment work. - Contribute to system cards, safety reports, policy documentation, launch reviews, and external communications on OpenAI's approach to model safety and risk mitigation. - Design and run human data campaigns, including gold set construction, labeling guidance, calibration, adjudication, and eval coverage analysis, to ensure policies can be reliably measured and improved. You might thrive in this role if you: - Have strong judgment about how advanced AI systems may affect real-world risk, especially in ambiguous, fast-moving, or high-impact areas. - Have experience building or applying policies, taxonomies, harm models, threat models, or risk frameworks for complex technical, social, or adversarial systems. - Can move across domains without needing to be the deepest subject-matter expert in every area, while knowing when to seek expert input. - Can turn fuzzy questions into structured policy frameworks, evaluation criteria, operational guidance, and enforceable model behavior. - Are comfortable using empirical evidence, including evaluations, red-teaming results, deployment observations, and model failure modes, to inform policy decisions. - Think in systems across policy, data, graders, classifiers, training, deployment safeguards, measurement, monitoring, and

Software Engineer, Infrastructure - Core Experimentation
ABOUT THE TEAM The Statsig team within OpenAI owns the experimentation, rollout, dynamic configuration, and analytics infrastructure that sits on the launch path for OpenAI products. Our systems help teams ship safely, evaluate product and model changes in production, and make high-confidence decisions from real-world usage. Statsig began as an independent company built around experimentation, feature management, and product analytics at scale. After Statsig joined OpenAI, the team began the next chapter: bringing that platform expertise and infrastructure into OpenAI as the experimentation and rollout foundation for every product we ship. This is infrastructure with a very direct product consequence. Teams working on ChatGPT, Codex, model measurement, consumer experiences including ads, business subscriptions, developer products, and shared platform systems depend on Statsig to evaluate configurations, move traffic safely, ingest experiment data, serve analytics, and roll changes forward or back when production reality demands it. We are at a critical point in the platform journey. Adoption is accelerating quickly across OpenAI, and the systems that were already important are becoming load-bearing for how the company launches. The infrastructure needs to stay fast under sharply increasing evaluation volume, reliable when more services depend on it, observable enough to debug quickly, and efficient enough to support OpenAI-wide scale. Recent SDK and server-side infrastructure work has already produced measurable wins in latency, reliability, memory usage, and compute efficiency across important services. The next phase is to make those gains systematic: a platform that can absorb rapidly growing product velocity while preserving low latency, data quality, operational safety, and developer trust. Based out of OpenAI's Bellevue office, we are a close-knit team that values in-person collaboration, technical depth, operational ownership, and building infrastructure that lets other builders move faster without taking on hidden reliability risk. ABOUT THE ROLE As an Infrastructure Engineer on the Statsig team, you will build and scale the foundational systems behind OpenAI's experimentation and rollout platform. You will work on the distributed control plane, SDK and server evaluation paths, ingestion pipelines, analytics foundations, and operational tooling that make launches safe and measurable at OpenAI scale. This role is deeply technical and centered on performance, scalability, reliability, and correctness. You will design systems that serve low-latency configuration decisions, handle high-throughput event ingestion, preserve data availability for experimentation and analytics workflows, and keep critical launch infrastructure dependable as usage grows. The work matters because OpenAI's next phase depends on learning quickly without compromising safety or reliability. Every major product surface needs a trusted way to evaluate changes, progressively roll them out, understand impact, and recover cleanly. Statsig is one of the core infrastructure layers that makes that possible. IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL - Design and operate low-latency configuration delivery systems powering feature flags, dynamic configs, and progressive rollouts across OpenAI product suites. - Scale SDK, server-side evaluation, and control-plane systems so high-volume services can depend on Statsig without adding user-visible latency or operational fragility. - Build high-throughput data ingestion and analytics infrastructure for experimentation, product analytics, feature performance monitoring, and model or product measurement workflows. - Improve performance, efficiency, reliability, and observability of core Statsig infrastructure as OpenAI products scale globally. - Optimize query performance, data freshness, and data availability for teams making launch decisions from experimentation and analytics workflows. - Strengthen operational excellence through bett

Researcher, Recursive Self-Improvement Safety
ABOUT THE TEAM Preparedness is a critical Safety Research team at OpenAI, which is focused on mitigating AI threats https://openai.com/index/updating-our-preparedness-framework/ that could scale to an extreme level of severity. Our work involves: - Tracking and prediction. Monitoring https://openai.com/index/how-we-monitor-internal-coding-agents-misalignment/ and predicting the evolving misalignment propensities and capabilities of frontier AI systems. - Mitigation. Keeping misuse safeguards, alignment tools, and security measures on track to adequately address extreme threats that might arise in the future. - Coordination. Setting mitigation targets by maintaining OpenAI’s preparedness framework, and partnering with other staff to achieve these targets. This is urgent, fast-paced work that has far-reaching implications for the company and for society. ABOUT THE ROLE Preparedness is hiring strong technical executors to support preparations for recursive self-improvement. This work relies on reasoning about problems that might exist in the future, but might not exist now; so it’s especially important that people in this role are tasteful and strategic. The role is wide-ranging, covering any mitigation for loss of control risk, spanning the design and implementation of better pre-deployment risk-assessment https://alignment.openai.com/prod-evals/, control measures, RSI-relevant training interventions, and turning one’s technical work into established institutional practices. Below is a subset of our focus areas: - Scalable oversight: Establishing practices for model misbehavior monitoring and oversight which remain effective in superhuman model capability regimes, with a focus on bridging from today’s monitoring approaches to future-proof ones. - Automated auditing: As model capabilities increase, we’ll increasingly rely on automated approaches for finding the most severe forms of model misalignments. We’ll both need to sift through large swaths of production traffic https://openai.com/index/how-we-monitor-internal-coding-agents-misalignment/ to find the most egregious misalignments, and reliably elicit tail risks before deployment. - Rigorous monitorability: Rigorous testing and red-teaming of our measurements of model misbehavior related to loss-of-control (e.g. reward hacking, sandbagging, scheming). This includes better https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.05706 understanding https://alignment.openai.com/accidental-cot-grading/ monitorability https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.18311, and e.g. preparing for potential losses of Chain-of-Thought monitorability. - Model behavior science: Design experiments and evaluations to understand the extent to which models are problematically misaligned, or their safety-relevant capabilities lag behind dangerous capabilities. This may include training model organisms of misbehavior for behaviors not currently present in production, or training interventions to increase safety-relevant capabilities. - Coordination and verification: Prototype technical mechanisms for verifying compliance with potential future AI safety agreements. - AI R&D risk measurement: Track progress toward automation of technical staff to inform OpenAI’s near-term investments in alignment and security. - Maintaining and strengthening RSI safety cases: We’re especially interested in identifying and addressing blindspots of mitigation areas which we may have missed. Generally, our team alternates between performing rigorous hypothesis-driven research and turning our insights into interventions or control systems which impact production models, with occasional support of engineering teams. IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL: - Carefully consider the problems OpenAI might face in the future and how to prepare for them. - Turn an open-ended objective like “prepare for future security threats” into a much more concrete direction (e.g. “implement monitors for data poisoning”) – prioritizing the work that is most useful to start right now. - Execute quickl
