Software Engineering • Mid-Level

Who you are

You have a strong background in software engineering with a focus on building scalable systems — your experience includes working with machine learning models and optimizing infrastructure for high-performance applications. You are proficient in Python and have hands-on experience with frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch, which you have used to develop and deploy machine learning models in production environments.

You understand the complexities of multimodal systems and have experience collaborating with cross-functional teams, including researchers and product managers — your ability to communicate technical concepts clearly helps bridge the gap between engineering and research. You thrive in fast-paced environments and are eager to push the boundaries of what AI can achieve.

What you'll do

As a Software Engineer on the Inference team, you will design and implement infrastructure for serving large-scale multimodal models — your work will ensure that OpenAI's advanced models are performant and scalable in production. You will collaborate closely with researchers to integrate new modalities of interaction, optimizing systems for high-throughput and low-latency performance.

You will be responsible for building reliable systems that handle real-time audio, image, and other multimodal workloads — this includes optimizing data pipelines and ensuring that the infrastructure can support diverse model sizes and interactions. Your role will involve continuous improvement of the deployment processes, ensuring compliance with best practices in software engineering and machine learning.

You will also participate in code reviews and contribute to the overall technical direction of the team — mentoring junior engineers and sharing your knowledge will be key aspects of your role. You will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI technologies and contribute to projects that have a significant impact on the future of technology.
