Software Engineering

Who you are

You have a strong foundation in software engineering principles and are passionate about building high-performance AI systems. Your experience includes designing and optimizing machine learning systems, and you are comfortable writing reliable low-level code. You thrive in ambiguous technical environments and enjoy tackling complex problems that push the boundaries of technology.

You have a track record of working with compilers and kernels, and you understand how to optimize software stacks for custom hardware. Your ability to collaborate closely with hardware teams allows you to unlock new capabilities and ensure that software and hardware work seamlessly together. You are self-directed and excited about shaping how new AI hardware is programmed.

What you'll do

As a Software Engineer on the Compiler/Kernels team, you will design and build the software stack that powers OpenAI's custom silicon. Your responsibilities will include advancing the Triton compiler and its backend, developing new compiler passes, and creating tools for writing optimized kernels. You will work closely with researchers to ensure that the software you develop can fully exploit the capabilities of the hardware.

You will be involved in all stages of the software development lifecycle, from initial design through implementation and optimization. Your work will directly contribute to the performance of AI systems that achieve previously impossible levels of performance. You will also have the opportunity to mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of collaboration and innovation within the team.

What we offer

At OpenAI, you will be part of a mission-driven team that is dedicated to advancing artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, along with opportunities for professional growth and development. You will work in a collaborative environment where your contributions will have a meaningful impact on the future of technology.
