The opportunity
OpenAI’s Industrial Compute team is responsible for building and scaling the external infrastructure ecosystem that powers advanced AI systems. We work across hyperscalers, colocation providers, cloud partners, and strategic third-party operators to turn contracted capacity into production-ready compute.
What you'll do
Lead end-to-end delivery programs that convert external infrastructure: capacity into production-ready token supply.
Own readiness across compute, storage, networking, security, and operational: dependencies for third-party environments.
Build integrated plans across internal engineering teams and external: partners with clear milestones, owners, risks, and critical paths.
Drive launch execution for new partner regions, clusters, and capacity expansions.
Create operating mechanisms that measure deployed capacity versus usable token output.
Identify bottlenecks preventing token generation (network constraints,: hardware readiness, software enablement, partner delays, etc.) and drive resolution.
What they're looking for
- Coordinate with capacity planning and finance teams to prioritize the highest ROI capacity opportunities.
- Establish executive-level reporting on delivery status, risks, and token ramp forecasts.
- Improve repeatability of partner onboarding, technical integration, and scaling motions.
- Manage escalations across internal and external stakeholders during high-severity delivery issues.
