Software Engineering

Who you are

You have a strong background in software engineering, particularly in designing and building distributed systems. Your experience includes working with large-scale systems and understanding the complexities involved in operating them reliably. You are familiar with performance analysis and debugging in distributed environments, which allows you to identify and resolve issues effectively.

You possess a solid understanding of observability and fault tolerance principles, enabling you to create systems that provide visibility into training workloads. Your skills in failure detection and tracing help ensure that systems operate smoothly and efficiently, even under challenging conditions. You are comfortable collaborating with researchers and engineers to incorporate learnings into the evolution of training platforms.

What you'll do

In this role, you will design and build distributed systems that enhance the visibility of large-scale training workloads. You will focus on developing failure detection and tracing systems that identify slow or faulty nodes, helping to surface performance bottlenecks. Your work will be critical in optimizing massive distributed training jobs, ensuring that OpenAI's training stack operates reliably at scale.

You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including researchers, to continuously improve the training infrastructure. Your responsibilities will include analyzing system performance, identifying areas for improvement, and implementing solutions that enhance the overall efficiency of the training process. You will also be involved in debugging complex issues that arise in distributed systems, leveraging your expertise to maintain high operational standards.
