Software Engineering • Mid-Level

Who you are

You have a strong background in software engineering, particularly in building and maintaining systems that enhance the development experience for both engineers and scientists. Your experience with Python, Rust, and C++ allows you to take ownership of the development environment and drive improvements that foster a seamless workflow. You are pragmatic and passionate about creating tools that support high-velocity development cycles, ensuring that the research and engineering teams can iterate quickly and efficiently.

You understand the importance of continuous integration and deployment in a fast-paced research environment. Your ability to design and implement robust testing infrastructure will be crucial in maintaining the quality and reliability of the systems you build. You are comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams, and you thrive in environments where you can contribute to the vision of how software should be built, tested, and deployed.

What you'll do

In this role, you will be responsible for overseeing the design of continuous integration pipelines and testing infrastructure that supports OpenAI's research and engineering organization. You will work closely with other teams to ensure that the tools you develop meet their needs and enhance their productivity. Your focus will be on creating a frictionless development experience that allows for rapid iteration and deployment of new features.

You will take ownership of the current development environment, which relies heavily on Python, Rust, and C++. Your goal will be to transform this environment into a state-of-the-art development experience that supports the ambitious goals of OpenAI. You will provide the necessary tools and metrics to support a fast-paced culture, ensuring that the platform remains stable and scalable as the organization grows.

What we offer

OpenAI offers a hybrid work model, allowing you to work three days in the office per week while also providing relocation assistance for new hires. You will be part of a team that is dedicated to accelerating progress towards artificial general intelligence (AGI) and making a positive impact on the world through technology. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't match every requirement, as we value diverse perspectives and backgrounds.
