Release Engineer • Mid-Level

Who you are

You have a strong background in release engineering, with experience in building and maintaining systems that support software delivery. You take pride in automation and system reliability, ensuring that software is built reproducibly and released safely at scale. You are comfortable working with CI/CD pipelines and have a solid understanding of multi-component systems, including bootloaders, firmware, and operating systems. You enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams, including embedded, cloud, and QA, to ensure that every build is fast, verifiable, and production-ready. You are detail-oriented and have a passion for creating reliable and secure software delivery processes.

Desirable

Experience with artifact management and release automation is a plus. Familiarity with fleet telemetry and health checks for OTA updates will set you apart. You are proactive in identifying and resolving issues in the release process, and you have a knack for integrating testing results into the CI/CD workflow.

What you'll do

As a Release Engineer at OpenAI, you will design and operate the release infrastructure that enables reliable software delivery across complex systems. You will be responsible for creating CI/CD pipelines for multi-component builds, ensuring that each build is validated rigorously. You will define versioning and branching strategies, automate promotions, and manage changelogs and artifact retention. Your role will involve integrating unit, integration, and hardware-in-the-loop test results, as well as addressing flaky tests and failures to maintain a smooth release process. You will build A/B OTA update flows, ensuring that updates are verified and healthy before deployment. You will work closely with embedded, cloud, and QA teams to ensure that the software delivery process is efficient and effective.

What we offer

OpenAI offers a hybrid work model, allowing you to work four days in the office per week while also providing relocation assistance for new employees. You will be part of a team that is committed to building systems that power software delivery and ensuring that AI technology is widely shared for the benefit of all. You will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology and contribute to the future of AI. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't match every requirement, as we value diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
