The opportunity
The Intelligence and Investigations (I2) team provides intelligence to decision makers across OpenAI and investigates severe misuse of our products. I2’s work saves lives: we disrupt real-world violence, protect children, and prevent catastrophic harms from AI misuse.
What you'll do
Work directly alongside investigators on complex cases, helping develop: leads, analyze evidence, and identify useful technical approaches.
Build and maintain software, data workflows, and internal tools that: accelerate investigations of potential high-severity misuse or harm.
Use Python, SQL, and internal data systems to gather, connect, and analyze: information relevant to investigative work.
Apply OpenAI’s models to research, search, triage, synthesis, and evidence: review in workflows that keep expert investigators informed and in control.
Turn recurring investigative bottlenecks into reliable tools, automation, and: product capabilities that support multiple users and cases.
Prototype quickly when a new investigative question arises, then improve: reliability, usability, and maintainability as requirements become clearer.
What they're looking for
- Respect the privacy, permissions, evidence-handling requirements, and: operational safeguards that accompany sensitive investigative work.
- Collaborate with teams across Applied, Safety Systems, Research, User: Operations, and Strategy when their expertise or systems are needed.
- Experience building and shipping software, internal tools, data workflows, or operational products.
- Comfort working directly with investigators, analysts, or other subject: matter experts in ambiguous or consequential situations.
