Be responsible for the team that will architect, build, and design our tooling, infra, products, and evals that power our data collection and management platform, including collecting important training signals from products like ChatGPT, Dall-E, Sora, along with the key interfaces used by our AI human labelers.

Iterate rapidly to improve user and developer experience both for our internal team as well as partner research teams while advancing scalability, performance, observability, and security.

Understand training and eval data needs from across all of OpenAI and research opportunities to improve our platform, and help develop our technical roadmap and prioritization.

Help drive the high leverage projects for our team and ensure our team engagement is high and team, technical, and organizational blockers are resolved and milestones are delivered.

Ensure that our overall data collection platform is secure, scalable, highly available, and maximally useful.
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.


You might thrive in this role if you:
Hold a Ph.
D., M.S., or B.S.
or other degree in computer science, AI, machine learning, or a related field.
Have experience being a hands-on individual contributor, while simultaneously managing a high performing team.
Are comfortable rolling up your sleeves to write code and be a major contributor to a project.
Have experience hiring, coaching, and inspiring senior engineers or other TLs.

Are willing to both own important problems end-to-end, but also have good delegation skills and are willing to pick up whatever knowledge you're missing to get the job done.

Are strongly motivated by OpenAI's mission of building safe, universally beneficial AGI and are aligned with OpenAI's charter
Stay goal-oriented instead of method-oriented, and are not afraid of tedious but high-value work when needed.
Are a team player who enjoys collaborative work environments.
