About the Team


The Applications Engineering team works across research, engineering, product, and design to bring OpenAI’s technology to consumers and businesses. You’ll join the team responsible for running the core infrastructure that supports products like ChatGPT and the API. The systems we support include our Kubernetes clusters, infrastructure deployment, our networking stack, cloud abstractions, and more. We seek to learn from deployment and distribute the benefits of AI, while ensuring that this powerful tool is used responsibly and safely. Safety is more important to us than unfettered growth.


About the Role

In This Role, You Will



  • Design and build the development and production platforms that power our products, enabling reliability and security at scale

  • Ensure our infrastructure can scale to the next order of magnitude

  • Help create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture that makes all feel welcome while enabling radical candor and challenging group think

  • Be responsible for the reliability of the systems we build, including an on‑call rotation to respond to critical incidents as needed


You Might Thrive In This Role If You



  • Have 5+ years building core infrastructure

  • Have experience operating orchestration systems such as Kubernetes at scale

  • Have experience building abstractions over cloud platforms

  • Take pride in building and operating scalable, reliable, secure systems

  • Are comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change
