The opportunity
OpenAI, in close collaboration with our capital partners, is embarking on a journey to build the world’s most advanced AI infrastructure ecosystem. The Industrial Compute team is central to this mission, setting the core infra strategy and implementing this vision.
What you'll do
Evaluate emerging energy solutions such as clean firm power, advanced: storage, grid flexibility, low-carbon backup power, heat reuse, water-related energy efficiency, and other scalable technologies where relevant.
Identify pilot opportunities and deployment pathways that can move promising: energy technologies from concept to commercially and operationally credible execution.
Translate technical options into clear reliability, cost, schedule, carbon,: regulatory, and operational implications for infrastructure decision-making.
Partner with energy regulatory, policy, procurement, engineering, deployment,: finance, legal, and site-readiness teams to align technology and sustainability choices with project needs.
Track external market, policy, utility, and technology developments
Build repeatable evaluation frameworks, partner criteria, and execution: playbooks for sustainability and emerging energy technology initiatives.
What they're looking for
- + years in energy technology, infrastructure sustainability, clean energy: procurement, power markets, data center energy strategy, utility programs, or related roles.
- Strong understanding of power systems, low-carbon energy, grid constraints,: infrastructure reliability, and the practical requirements of large-scale deployment.
- Experience evaluating emerging technologies, structuring pilots, or moving: early-stage solutions toward commercial implementation.
- Ability to balance sustainability objectives with reliability, cost,: schedule, regulatory, and operational constraints.
